A comprehensive lesson which will teach students about mutations and the role of siRNA Contains differentiated tasks in order to meet the needs of different learners. Learning objective: Analyze the impact of mutations on gene expression, protein structure and function, and organismal traits, considering both beneficial and harmful effects. Success criteria: I can define mutations and explain why mutations affect the produced protein. Critically evaluate the role of siRNA and RISC in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, emphasizing their impact on mRNA stability, translation efficiency, and cellular processes. 3. I can critically assess the ethical considerations surrounding siRNA-based therapies, addressing concerns about potential unintended consequences and the manipulation of gene expression. Contains 17 slides and a lesson plan I used this resource to teach the Pearson international BTEC level 3 unit 14A genetics course.

Resource designed to use when delivering the Pearsons iBTEC Applied Science: Unit 1: Principles and Applications of Biology I Success criteria: I can identify different structures within a plant. I can describe the uses of the parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma I can explain why these tissues are effective at their function.

Describe the timeline of discovery that led toward cell theory. Explain the importance of different microscopes with regards to cell theory. Lessons were intended to be used on google slides, should still work on powerpoint but might need some rearranging.

A comprehensive collection of 32 slides which contain all of the relevant information for BTEC Applied Science Unit 9B Homeostatic mechanisms used by the human body Includes a writing frame to help students. B. D2 Analyse the impact of homeostatic dysfunction on the human body - discusses the impact of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. B. M2 Explain the role of hormones in homeostatic mechanisms - discusses the impacts of ADH on the nephron, the impact of insulin and glucagon on blood glucose levels. B. P2 Describe how homeostatic mechanisms maintain normal function - Discusses the function of thermoregulation, the endocrine system, osmoregulation, the kidneys, the nephron and blood glucose levels. Questions are included in the majority of slides in order for students to engage with the content whilst being taught. There are unlabelled diagrams of the: endocrine system, urinary system, the kidney and the nephron. With labelled content with function to reach the “illustrative” criteria of the coursework.
