This Powerpoint runs through the concept of energy flow in food chains, the role of decomposers and The Carbon Cycle. I have tried to make it as appealing lots of colours, images and animations. Written explanations are as simple as possible as a lot of my pupils are EAL learners. Key vocabulary is highlighted throughout. This PowerPoint is a great start to your lesson/planning. All you have to add is learning objectives and activities to suit your syllabus and class. All images used are credited in the Bibliography of the PowerPoint and those not mentioned are either taken by me or from Office Clipart for Mac/Windows.

This resource is a set of EAL worksheets for Biology for pupils aged 11-16. I have made these resources with a grammar focus, simplified language and emphasis of key words. The easiest sheets should allow pupils to match information about life processes only using underlined key words and pictures (very low English level). The activities are the following: - Cells cut and stick activity: Pupils have to match organelle name, function, what it is like, a diagram and photo. There are three different difficulty level. - Life processes glossary: There are 4 different difficulty levels for this glossary with words and definitions from the topic. Please note: image credit is given on the final page, make sure you don't print it!!

I lead through a heart dissection with pupils dissecting hearts in pairs. They have to take measurements and compare left/right sides and arteries/veins filling in this worksheet. This leads them to write conclusions about the differences between left/right sides and arteries and veins.

This is a differentiated sheet where pupils have to order or fill in blanks for instructions of how to use a microscope. The extension would be to write instructions without this resource. Page 1 has the instructions in the correct order, I put them next to the microscopes. Page 2 the pupils have to cut out and put in the right order, Page 3 Pupils have to fill in the blanks with words provided.

This is a 29 page booklet that provides pupils with word lists for each of the first 12 Biology units, there is also a page left for them to do their own summary of the unit with key diagrams of organs/systems. I have identified past paper questions for each unit but due to copyright from Cambridge I cannot include them, though I have named them in the booklet e.g. March 2016 Paper 43 Q3. The topics in this booket are: 1. Characteristics and classification of living organisms 2. Organisation of the organism 3. Movement in and out of cells 4. Biological molecules 5. Enzymes 6. Plant nutrition 7. Human nutrition 8. Transport in plants 9. Transport in animals 10. Diseases and immunity 11. Gas exchange in humans 12. Respiration
