sliding filament theory of skeletal muscle contraction
Ppt describes with visual aids the various parts of the myofibril and how they interact to contract the muscle following an action potential.
Ppt includes the structure of the eye as well as the function of the different parts. It also includes the eyes response to bright and dim light and accommodation of the eye to focus light. Worksheets are also included.
Homework is a worksheet of exam style questions with markscheme
PPT and Lesson plan.
Students are given a mystery box which symbolises their genetic information. They then complete research on the implications and ethics of genetic screening to decide whether they should open the box.
In order to complete required practical 12 we took our students out on a field trip.
They had to investigate the population of water invertebrates at 4 locations, a canal, a brook man made ponds and a hoverfly lagoon.
They then took measurements of 5 different aspects of the water chemistry; turbidity, ammonia, nitrates, phosphorus and oxygen.
Students write up a full report in which they carry out statistical analysis (chi squared and Simpson's diversity index)
Resource includes ppt on eutrophication, a plan of action for the field trip, data recording sheet, methods for the water chemistry tests, invertebrate identification charts and a help sheet showing what the students needed to include in their report.
Students were asked to give a presentation to report their findings to the rest of the class.
For new AQA GCSE. Ppt with student activities that achieve the following LOs;
Describe how water leaves the body
Explain why it is important to keep water, carbon dioxide and urea in balance
Decide which processes we can and cant control.
Quick quiz to use as a starter or plenary. Covers the kingdom classification system and the differences between each kingdom.
Answers on the last 3 slides.
