Bundle
CIE Unit 1 Characteristics and Classification of Living Organisms
This bundle provides all lessons required to complete the teaching of the Cambridge International Exam board. There are five lessons, graded learning objectives which facilitates the teaching of each lesson over several sessions. Sub-units 1 and 2 are single lessons whilst sub-unit 3 is split up into 3 separate lessons to deliver the main concepts of classification, and animal and plant classification. As the lessons progress, CIE exam questions are introduced to students, together with mark schemes. The whole bundle culminates with a CIE summative assessment on the whole unit.
CIE 13.1 Absorption Spectrum, Action Spectrum, Chromotagraphy
This lesson covers the absorption spectrum of chloroplast pigments and the action spectra for photosynthesis. If then takes the learners through the process of how to use chromatography to separate the pigments. A Biofact sheet is also included in the resources.
CIE 15.1 Resting Potential
This lesson revisits the role of chemoreceptors in the tongue and then progresses into how resting potential is maintained until a stimulus reaches threshold. The lesson introduces the membrane sodium potassium pump using active transport and the voltage gated channels using facilitated diffusion. There are videos included and a short quiz as a plenary.
CIE 18.2 Pearson's Linear Correlation
This lesson provides students with the opportunity to analyse the relationship two variables and how biotic and abiotic factors affect distribution and abundance of species. Fill worked examples of Pearson’s Linear Correlation included.
CIE 17.2 Artificial Selection
This lesson covers the principles of selective breeding using examples: Disease resistance in rice and wheat; Strong maize; Increased milk yield in dairy cattle.
Bundle
CIE Unit 14 Coordination and Response
This bundle of 10 lessons is everything you need to get started with Y11 in September. All the lessons have interactive activities, access to YouTube videos, review quizes and CIE specific assessments with mark schemes.
Bundle
CIE Unit 3 Movement Into and Out of Cells
This bundle of 4 lessons introduces the concepts of diffusion, osmosis and active transport. All lessons have lots of visuals and activities for students to progress their learning. The final lesson concludes with an additional assessment with CIE specific exam questions and mark scheme.
CIE 15.2 Control and Coordination in Plants
This lesson looks at the mode of action of the Venus Fly Trap and how it responds to stimuli. the lesson then progresses into the roles of hormones gibberellins and auxin. Lots of visual diagrams to illustrate concepts. Biofactsheets on plant hormones and CIE specific exam questions and mark scheme provided.
CIE 18.2 Biodiversity and Sampling Methods Including The Lincoln Index
The lesson starts with identifying and describing the terms ‘ecosystem’ and ‘niche’ and then how the different levels that biodiversity can be assessed at. The lesson concludes with an explanation of the importance of random sampling, suitable random sampling methods and use the Lincoln Index. Full worked examples included.
CIE 17.2 The Hardy Weinberg Principle
This lesson teaches the principle to calculate allele and genotype frequencies in populations.
CIE 12.1 Energy and Respiratory Quotients
This lesson starts by revisiting previous learning on APT with exam questions on ATP reactions and the it’s role as the universal energy currency. The first learning episode is recalling the 3 macromolecules and linking their structures to how much energy they carry. Respiratory quotients is covered including how to calculate, concluding with a YouTube video on how to use a respirometer.
CIE 14.3 Hormones
This lesson starts by comparing the nervous and endocrine systems. The students are then given a body outline of the endocrine system for which they need to research to identify each gland. The progress into researching the roles of each gland. The lesson concludes with a multiple choice quiz. Also supplied is a CIE specific assessment with mark scheme.
Bundle
CIE Unit 4 Biological Molecules
This bundle consists of three lessons, the first recalls the components of a healthy diet, focusing on the chemical structures of the macrunutrients carbohydrates, fats and proteins, then explaining why they are referred to a macro molecules. The second lesson is a practical lesson, either using teacher demo or student activity to conduct all food test, with supplied student worksheets. The final lesson on DNA structure contains Youtube videos and several activities, with a CIE assessment included.
CIE 6.2 Leaf Structure
This lesson concludes learning on plant nutrition. There are several starter activities that necessitate recall of previous learning and can be adapted as consolidation activities throughout the lesson. The main body of learning it to label, describe and explain all the cells/tissues/organelles of the cross section of a leaf. There are several slides which then review their research. The plenary is a matching up exercise. Also included is an assessment and mark scheme using CIE specific exam questions.
Bundle
CIE Unit 6 Plant Nutrition
This bundle is a series of 6 lessons to take you through the whole unit. All lessons have opportunities for teacher demo or whole class practicals. Interactive PPT’s, research opportunities, YouTube videos and plenty of opportunity for assessment using CIE specific assessments and mark schemes.
CIE 2.2 Size of Specimens
This lesson moves on to revisit the learning from the previous lesson on using a microscope to view onion and cheek cells. Students are introduced to a series of items that have been magnified and they are asked to identify each one. Students are then showed an animation from CellsAlive to rank magnified specimens in order of size. The lesson concludes with an introduction to the magnification formula, micrometers and unit conversions, together with some magnification calculations using unit conversion. Also included is a CIE specific assessment with the mark scheme.
Bundle
CIE Unit 2 Organisation of the Organism
This bundle is the complete package necessary for the delivery of the CIE iGCSE Biology course - Cells, Organisation, Microscopy and Magnification. All PPT’s come with the resources needed for the lesson delivery. There are also CIE specific exam questions for assessments, together with mark schemes. Some content has been used from other sources and adjusted for the CIE specific syllabus.
CIE 14.2 Homeostasis: Plants
This lesson covers all the learning objectives for plant homeostasis as per the CIE specification. It focuses on the structure and function of stomata, how they are able to open and close during their daily rhythm and the use of abscisic acid and calcium during times of water stress. Lots of visual diagrams outlining the stages of the process. CIE specific exam questions are also included.
CIE 15.1 Coordination and Control in Mammals: Hormones
These two PPT’s cover all glands and the hormones they produce. They can be used for all exam boards and their specifications. Both PPT’s contain many visuals and cover the consequences of the deficiency of certain hormones on the body. The PPT’s also cover the differences between exocrine and endocrine glands, including the 2nd messenger model for for cell signalling.
CIE 15.1 Muscle Contraction and Sliding Filament Theory
This lesson starts with a recall of actin and myosin structure. Then probes further in the the roles of the regulatory proteins troponin and tropomyosin. The structure of the sarcomere is covered including identifying parts on a micrograph. Later, the process of contraction is covered as per the sliding filament theory. the cross bridge cycle is covered in details including the role of calcium, ATP and the regulatory proteins. Exam questions included.
