Designed for the new specification IGCSE edexcel course but can be used for other examination boards. Covers: (a) Reproduction 3.1  understand the differences between sexual and asexual reproduction 3.2  understand that fertilisation involves the fusion of a male and female gamete to produce a zygote that undergoes cell division and develops into an embryo Flowering plants 3.3  describe the structures of an insect-pollinated and a wind-pollinated flower and explain how each is adapted for pollination 3.4  understand that the growth of the pollen tube followed by fertilisation leads to seed and fruit formation 3.5  practical: investigate the conditions needed for seed germination 3.6  understand how germinating seeds utilise food reserves until the seedling can carry out photosynthesis 3.7  understand that plants can reproduce asexually by natural methods (illustrated by runners) and by artificial methods (illustrated by cuttings)

By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered: Students should know the structure and functioning of the human heart and lungs, including how lungs are adapted for gaseous exchange. The heart is an organ that pumps blood around the body in a double circulatory system. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs where gas exchange takes place. The left ventricle pumps blood around the rest of the body. Knowledge of the blood vessels associated with the heart is limited to the aorta, vena cava, pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein and coronary arteries. Knowledge of the names of the heart valves is not required. Knowledge of the lungs is restricted to the trachea, bronchi, alveoli and the capillary network surrounding the alveoli. The natural resting heart rate is controlled by a group of cells located in the right atrium that act as a pacemaker. Artificial pacemakers are electrical devices used to correct irregularities in the heart rate. The body contains three different types of blood vessel: • arteries • veins • capillaries. Students should be able to explain how the structure of these vessels relates to their functions. Students should be able to use simple compound measures such as rate and carry out rate calculations for blood flow.
