GCSE Biology power point and 3 worksheets on plant hormones ,growth and how weed killers work.
Slides include auxins, what are they, how do they work, phototropism, geotropism (positive and negative) and uses of plant hormones in commercial situations.
Easy to read text and colourful diagrams and pictures to help students understand these difficult words and concepts.
You have two power points covering all aspects of the GCSE Biology syllabus covering the Carbon and Nitrogen Cycles. They are aimed at Higher Tier students but can be used with a good "intervention" group.
The power points are separate so you can use in different lessons. Text is full of scientific terminology and includes diagrams and pictures to help with explanations.

This is a power point explaining all of the key terms related to ecosystems with exam terminology and great pictures and diagrams. I uploaded this onto my school system as a homework to test students on all of the key terms and what they mean. I have also used a plenary to lessons and as revision at the end of the unit.
Also, found this really helpful with GCSE foundation/SEN groups; as the term are easily read and the pictures are bright and eye catching.
The work sheet has every key word written and students just fill in the definitions. They can then stick the sheet in the front of their books.
The second worksheet is for a class activity, or a home work and sets students tasks to complete on ecosystems, predator - prey relationships, etc.
The following terms are stated: classification (artificial and natural), evolutionary trees, binomial system (genus & species), habitat, ecosystem, producer, consumer, pyramid of numbers, biomass , predator, prey, equation foe energy transfer in food chains, energy loss through food chains, parasites, mutualism, interspecific and intraspecific relationships, adaptations (specialists, generalists, extremophiles, anatomical and behavioural adaptations).
This is a 29 slide power point specifically to cover all aspects of the OCR AS Biology specification.
The syllabus is shown at the beginning so students can tick off each stage of the specification as you teach it.
Easy to read text following closely to the specification, colourful diagrams and easy to understand explanations.
The slides include structure of enzymes, intracellular and extracellular uses, phagocytosis, action of enzymes, effect of temp, pH, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration (and experimental investigations with graphs), competitive and non-competitive inhibition, rate of reaction, cofactors and co-enzymes, finishing with metabolic poisons as inhibitors and medical drugs acting as inhibitors (again following all examples stated by the specification).

This is a 9 slide power point on Respiration.
I use this with my Foundation & GCSE Double award class as a class presentation and as a starter for my Triple Group. With Triple groups you will only need to include the chemical equation for respiration and go into more detail with respect to ATP, which is not required for double award.
It includes aerobic and anaerobic respiration, differences between the two, the word equations, release of energy (ATP), oxygen debt and RQ quotient.

This is a 13 slide power point covering the specification for AS AQA Biology. It would also be helpful for OCR AS Biology spec.
It covers what enzymes are, their structure and properties, rate of reaction, activation energy, effects of temp, pH, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration on enzyme action, finishing with competitive and non-competitive inhibition.
Slides are easy to read, include colourful diagrams and easy to follow facts. Good for a class presentation or to give students for revision.

This is a 16 slide power point following the specification for AS AQA Biology , but would also suit OCR specification.
It includes eukaryote and prokaryote cells, differences between them, binary fission, uses of microscopes (both light and electron), changing units, magnification and resolution and finishes with cell fractionation.
The last slide leads into the next stage of the syllabus which is different organelles. I have produced a different power point for that to include movement across the membranes as well. Please view if you like this one.

This is a 30 slide power point presentation covering every aspect of Gene Technology for A2 Biology (OCR or AQA specifications). This is extensive, contains easy to follow notes and diagrams. Will cover at number of A2 lessons and will help with continuity of learning.
It covers the following Reverse transcriptase, Restriction endonucleases, in vivo and in vitro techniques,
In vivo - vectors, plasmids, transformation and identification using antibiotic resistance markers.
In vitro - PCR, primers, DNA polymerase, locating genes using DNA probes, DNA sequencing , Gel Electrophoresis, Restriction Mapping.
It then features DNA probes used in medicine, advantages and disadvantages of in vivo and in vitro techniques, uses of gene technology.
