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.

There are 9 different sheets covering, worksheets, research task, help sheets and revision packs.
Helpsheetscovering cell membrane structure, diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, active transport, carrier and channel proteins and co transport.
These 5 sheets can be used as worsheets, revision cardsor just as help for struggling students. All of my students loved these....even the A students.
From cell structure to immunity, these essential PowerPoint presentations from TES Gold Author Jacqueline Byers will engage and inspire AS-level biology students.
This power point was made specifically for my Foundation & GCSE Double Award students and only covers that strand of the specification.
It is colourful, has pictures and easy to follow key points. An excellent class resource to show the class and for them to make appropriate notes in their exercise books.
A worksheet which can be used as a plenary sheet or to set as a homework.

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 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).
