Made for the OCR A level Biology course including some hand drawn diagrams, custom animations using morph transitions. There are specification links scattered throughout. PAG instructions taken from the OCR website for the practical lessons PAG group 4 - please note you do not have to complete all of these. I like to do two of them during this topic My resources are kept within one long power point, split into sections for lessons. This is to allow for flexibility in teaching but also means you can flip back and forth to link parts of the topic together with ease during the lessons - 2.1.4 is 175 slides! Includes a 48 page handout that can be printed as a booklet with diagrams, questions, glossary and a few spare pages to allow for flexibility 1a The role of enzymes 1b Mechanisms of enzyme action 2.

For the OCR A level biology specification. I have included the handout (88 pages)I give students for you to adapt if you wish, this has lots of summary questions, exam questions and lined paper in the back to allow for flexibility. It is suitable to print as an A4 booklet. The lessons are in one power point, divided into sections. A lot of consideration has gone into the clear diagrams, animations, linking to other parts of the specification and morph transitions to give a slick presentation Lessons include: Excretion - including lots of recap of previous topics The liver Ornithine cycle and deamination Detoxification The kidney The nephron osmoregulation Kidney dissection and histology Kidney failure Medical diagnosis revision - revision grid, specifically recorded podcast and revision activity sheet I study mind questions sets with QR codes to question papers and mark schemes I hope you find this useful and I really value your feedback - more module 5 on the way

Approximately 11 lessons depending on ability and time constraints. All referenced to the OCR A level specification and with objectives and summary questions for each lesson. Plant responses to the environment Controlling plant growth Investigating tropisms Commercial uses of plant hormones Mammalian nervous system The brain Reflex actions Coordinating responses Controlling heart rate Muscles Muscle contraction

A comprehensive ppt of 8 lessons with hand out to supplement. I print the hand out in colour and students write their notes into it. The homework questions refer to the summary questions in the Oxford University Press textbook ’ A level Biology for OCR’ A The order of teaching was dur to not having a lab for some lessons. You may wish to alter this! Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes Ultrastructure of Eukaryotes Protein synthesis and the role of the cytoskeleton PAG 1 Preparing slides and drawing specimens Microscopes research Magnification and resolution Using an eyepiece graticule and stage micrometer Revision questions and QR codes to study mind Qs

there are 2 different types of diagram to choose from for students to label. Have used with both KS3 and A level

A factual presentation about cancer. This lesson was actually given to a year 12 BTEC class but would be suitable for KS4

Inspired by @MrLPeachy I have created a learning journey for the AQA sicnece Trilogy specification. Fully editable.
