Limiting factors in photosynthesis lesson suitable for A level biology students. Fully resourced lesson including starter activities, YWBAT (you will be able to), review questions and plenary self assessment activity. Includes example graphs and questions from the CGP A Level Biology Student book.

A quick activity suitable for GCSE biology students to help to familiarise them with new keywords within the homeostasis and response topic. I suggest that firstly students match the images to the keywords; stimulus, receptor, effector and response. Then students match the images to a full scenario e.g. A bright light is detected; the receptor cells in the eye pick up this stimulus, the effector muscles of the iris bring about the response of the pupil constricting. Activity is suitable for a starter task or plenary task. Note - the activity comes with the images and descriptions in order and will need cutting prior to handing out to students. there are two versions of the activity one is a jigsaw puzzle, and one with just images and descriptions.

A level biology photosynthesis lesson includes; YWBAT (you will be able to), keyword recap, the light dependent reaction, the light independent reaction, embedded links to youtube videos to reinforce learning, review questions and exam style questions to assess knowledge. Note - Exam style questions are from the CGP student book.
