Full lesson for ELC AQA spec. for EAL GCSE learners. component 1: The human body Outcomes​ Respiration releases the energy needed for living processes and is represented by the equation:​ glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy)​ Students should know the word equation for respiration.​ Students should know that glucose is derived from the diet and that carbon dioxide and oxygen gases are exchanged through the lungs.​ Lifestyle can have an effect on people’s health eg diet and exercise are linked to obesity; smoking to cancer; alcohol to liver and brain function.​ A healthy diet contains the right balance of the different food groups you need and the right amount of energy.​ People who exercise regularly are usually fitter than people who take little exercise.

Learning outcome 5: Infectious (communicable) diseases are caused by microorganisms called pathogens. These may reproduce rapidly inside the body and may produce poisons (toxins) that make us feel ill. Viruses damage cells in which they reproduce. For ELC spec. All worksheets in the ppt.

Full lesson, AQA spec GCSE, has translations of certain tasks in: turkish, kurdish, kurdish sorani, spanish and french outcomes: The human digestive system contains a variety of organs: salivary glands stomach liver gall bladder pancreas small intestine large intestine. Students should be able to identify the position of these organs on a diagram of the digestive system. Enzymes are used to convert food into soluble substances that can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
