missmiermissmier

CIE 6.1 DNA Replication

(0)
This lesson covers the when and why DNA needs to replicate, and how DNA replicates. The lesson then looks at understanding the roles of DNA polymerase and ligase. Fully resourced.
CIE 6.2 Protein Synthesis
missmiermissmier

CIE 6.2 Protein Synthesis

(0)
This lesson covers how proteins are made, including the role of RNA polymerase, messenger RNA, transfer RNA, ribosomes and the role of start and stop codons. The lesson progresses into the roles of the DNA template (antisense) strand in transcription, codons on messenger RNA and anticodons on transfer RNA. Fully resourced with video’s and practise exam questions.

CIE 6.1 RNA Structure

(0)
This lesson covers the structure of ribonucleic acid (RNA) with specific reference to the structure and role of messenger RNA (mRNA).
CIE 6.2 Nature of the Genetic Code
missmiermissmier

CIE 6.2 Nature of the Genetic Code

(0)
This lesson starts with recall the structure of proteins and the structure of a gene then to explain how genes code for the amino acids in a polypeptide. The lesson finishes off with principle of the universal genetic code.
CIE 5.1 / 5.2 Cell Cycle Including All Stages of Interphase and Mitosis
missmiermissmier

CIE 5.1 / 5.2 Cell Cycle Including All Stages of Interphase and Mitosis

(0)
This lesson starts with recall of KS4 mitosis, the introduces the concept of the complete cell cycle including Interphase: Gap 1; Synthesis, and Gap 2. All stages of mitosis is covered including the roles of involved organelles. Lesson concludes with a quiz to identify the stages of mitosis from micrographs.
CIE 5.1 Telomeres and Stem Cells
missmiermissmier

CIE 5.1 Telomeres and Stem Cells

(0)
This is a lesson based on student research where they are give source material to: outline the role of telomeres during DNA replication; outline the role of stem cells in cell replacement and tissue repair, and explain how uncontrolled cell division can result in tumour formation. All source materials are included.
CIE 6.1 Structure of Nucleic Acids and DNA
missmiermissmier

CIE 6.1 Structure of Nucleic Acids and DNA

(0)
This lesson starts with a quick review of chromosome structure and then the details of the structure of nucleotides. The lesson then moves onto base pairing, hydrogen bonding and phosphodiester bonding. Fully resourced with a lot of extra consolidation activities.
CIE 4.1 Phospholipids
missmiermissmier

CIE 4.1 Phospholipids

(0)
This lesson covers the structure and properties of a phospholipids. The lesson also includes explanations as to how the structure and properties of phospholipids relate to their function in cell membranes.
CIE 5.1 Chromosome Structure
missmiermissmier

CIE 5.1 Chromosome Structure

(0)
This lesson starts with a recall KS4 chromosome structure. The lesson then progresses into the structure and functions of: DNA; Histones; Chromatids; Centromeres, and Telomeres.
CIE 4.2 Investigating Cell Transport
missmiermissmier

CIE 4.2 Investigating Cell Transport

(0)
This lesson is the class practical outlined in the CIE specification. The lesson starts by recalling how to calculate surface area and volume, calculating surface area to volume ratios and then the Investigation into diffusion in different sized cells using agar blocks. The lesson concludes by explaining the relationship between cell size and diffusion rate.
CIE 4.1 Cell Signalling
missmiermissmier

CIE 4.1 Cell Signalling

(0)
This lesson outlines the main stages of cell signaling that can lead to: Secretion of ligands from cells; Transport of ligands to target cells, and binding of ligands to cell surface receptors on target cells.
CIE 4.2 Cell Transport
missmiermissmier

CIE 4.2 Cell Transport

(0)
This lesson starts by recalling the definition of osmosis and the structure of the cell membrane. The lesson then covers passive transport, active transport, endocytosis and exocytosis and explains the use of carrier and channel proteins in cell membranes.
CIE 4.1 Fluid Mosaic Model of the Cell Membrane
missmiermissmier

CIE 4.1 Fluid Mosaic Model of the Cell Membrane

(0)
This less starts with a recall the structure of cell membranes and then progresses into how the fluid mosaic model of membrane structure is used to explain the structure and properties of cell membranes. Later the lesson looks at how the components of the membrane contribute to it´s physical and chemical properties. All resources included.
CIE 15.1 Drugs
missmiermissmier

CIE 15.1 Drugs

(0)
This lesson starts with a review of different classes of drugs and thenwhat antibiotics are used for. The lesson then explains how they work with an analysis of how antibiotic resistance can occur and how we can stop the spread of antibiotic resistance. Fully resources with videos and exam questions.
CIE 16.1 /16.2 Asexual and Sexual Reproduction
missmiermissmier

CIE 16.1 /16.2 Asexual and Sexual Reproduction

(0)
This lesson starts with KS3 recall of the similarities and differences between asexual and sexual reproduction. It progresses to describe the advantages and disadvantages for both types and how some organisms can reproduce using both methods. The lesson uses a YouTube video link for students to summarise into bullet notes. The transcript is also provided for EAL learners.
CIE 16.2 Monohybrid Crosses: Dominance, Multiple Alleles, Co-Dominance
missmiermissmier

CIE 16.2 Monohybrid Crosses: Dominance, Multiple Alleles, Co-Dominance

(0)
In this lesson students recall genetic terminology from KS4 and use genetic diagrams to predict and explain the results of monohybrid crosses involving: dominance, multiple alleles and co-dominance. Some the presentation is copied and changed from other teachers, and comes fully supplied with lots of crossing practise.
