OCR AS Level Biology - Cell Structure

(6)
Keywords for cell structure from glossary of OCR AS level student book are mapped together on an A4 sheet . Also broken down into 3 sections: organelles, plasma membrane, other. Useful for revision and understanding how the different terms relate to one another. Further information about the mapping used can be found on the associated website. Comments and ideas are welcomed. Thanks for looking!

Dot and cross explanation of electrolysis

(6)
This diagram was developed with a student who wanted to understand how the ions become atoms again during electrolysis. The 'push' and 'pull' comments are designed to enforce the idea that the process will not occur without an energy input. Comments would be appreciated.

Electrode half equations

(9)
I developed this resource for a mid-range GCSE group who have to be able to write balanced half equations for binary salts. It is for use at the end of a lesson which includes video clips, discussion and demonstrations. We discuss page 1 and they are on their own for page 2. Forgive the comic sans! Please let me know if you find this useful. Thanks for looking.

Atomic Structure Revision Cards (Concept Maps)

(0)
A set of 25 revision cards. They are designed to help students build links between the different concepts. Cards can be read in any order and eg sorted into 'understand' and 'don't understand' I have used them effectively to stimulate group discussion and peer support half way through the topic. Further information about the association modelling process used to design them can be found on the website. Comments and ideas welcomed. Thanks for looking!

Personal Learning and Thinking Skills Posters

(5)
I hope you will find these posters useful as part of a class display or as a set for reminders when practicing particular aspects of PLTS. Please let me know how you intend to use them. I have found them useful for teaching many different elements of the Science curriculum at KS3 and KS4 and for linking into the whole school policy in this area. PLTS; Biology; Chemistry; Physics; Practical Skills; Group Work
Voluntary Nervous Control - Learning a New Skill

Voluntary Nervous Control - Learning a New Skill

(1)
This activity can be used with the Nervous Control Powerpoint Presentation or as a stand alone activity. Students draw round a 5-pointed star using the reflection in a mirror. They will find that they speed up over the course of six stars and develop strategies for coping with difficult turns. Some students find the activity more difficult than others and they can discuss why this might be (eg visual vs kinesthetic learners)
Nervous System Concepts Overview

Nervous System Concepts Overview

(1)
An animated concept map, which enables discussion of the various ideas a bit at a time. There are four 'Key Diagrams' which could be printed off and used separately as concept or mind maps. The star activity in the middle of the presentation has a separate helpsheet and worksheet. For further information on the association mapping process used here visit the website link attached. Ideas and comments are welcomed. Thanks for looking!
Behaviour Effort Attitude Rubric
s.mawbys.mawby

Behaviour Effort Attitude Rubric

(2)
Each area is split into four threads (eg Effort is split into focus, task completion, problem solving and organisation). Behaviour area has also been developed as a prezi presentation (see link) Within each thread there is a statement for each level (0-4) which enables dialogue about how to improve in specific areas of difficulty (rather than 'I need to do better/work harder') and can be used as a self assessment and target development tool. 'The Line' separates acceptable from unacceptable behaviour. Keywords: Behaviour, Effort, Attitude, self assessment, peer assessment,

Control of Blood Sugar Concept Map

(1)
A simple, high level concept map of glucose control. The second file gives additional worksheet options as suggested by the comment. Further information on the association mapping process used to create the maps can be found on the website. Comments and ideas welcomed. Thanks for looking! Key words: concept map, mind map, glucose, insulin, homeostasis
Structures in Space

Structures in Space

(3)
A cut and stick activity suitable as a starter or homework. Students have to arrange structures from largest to smallest and also select examples at a number of levels. Further information on the association mapping process used to develop it can be found on the website. Ideas and comments welcomed. Thanks for looking! Keywords: Universe, galaxy, solar system, star, planet, satellite
Heating and Cooling Concept Map
s.mawbys.mawby

Heating and Cooling Concept Map

(2)
An A4 revision aid showing keywords and their relationships for heating and cooling in a mind map/concept map format. Words are taken from the Go Science Book Glossary. Further information about the association modelling process used can be found on the website. Comments and suggestions welcomed. Thanks for looking! Keywords: heating, cooling concept map, mind map
Light and Sound Concept Map
s.mawbys.mawby

Light and Sound Concept Map

(3)
This resource shows keywords organised into a concept map which is colour coded in three different ways. This might serve as a revision resource for students, or for staff when planning a course. Further information about the association mapping process used to develop it can be found on the website. Comments and ideas welcomed. Thanks for looking! Keywords: concept map, mind map, light, sound
Flowering Plant Reproduction
