This resource has a PPT for Foundation tier and Higher Tier covering the new AQA specification for B1 Cell structure and transport. This is the 6th lesson in the topic and covers Diffusion. Each slide has the lesson objective at the top and at the bottom are the learning outcomes as well as key words. Includes:
Connect activity - How do I know when my cat has used the litter tray downstairs
White board activity - Pupils draw a burger and use particles to explain how they would know if I had it under the desk
Literacy task using key terms to explain diffusion with self assessment task
Drawing and linking diffusion to states of matter task
Stages of diffusion sketches - start, middle and end
Evaluation and analysis of incorrect diffusion diagrams
Includes non required practical on surface area and diffusion. This had surface area and volume calculations and key questions based on their results. HT and FT worksheet for practical
Think, pair share activity on factors affecting diffusion
Past exam question
6 mark question on Diffusion

An excellent set of cartoon style 6 mark questions I have made over the years covering every aspect of Biology topics at KS4. Such as:
Diet and health: The nervous system: Decay: Micro organisms: Enzymes: Vaccinations: High cholesterol: Culturing bacteria: Cloning: Stem cells: Genetic engineering: Genetic crosses: Osmosis and Farming to name a few....
There are 50 6 mark questions in total with answers to every question on the next slide.
This resource can be used for any specification in biology at KS4 sitting the 2017 spec examinations or 2018.
It is an idea I took from another user on here. Sorry but I do not remember who to credit for this.
A set of detailed revision notes, exam style questions and revision lesson PPT covering the whole of B1 Cell structure and Transport for KS4 pupils covering the AQA 2016 syllabus.
The PPT covers 2 or 3 revision sessions which contains:
6 mark questions,
Whiteboard quizzes,
magnification calculations,
Block buster game,
A miss wrong activity,
Exam style questions,
What am I quiz,
Graded questions,
Cell labelling activity,
What's my job quiz on specialised cells,
Comparing osmosis, diffusion and active transport table
Calculating surface area and volume ratio activity.
This is the first time I have uploaded any resources so please leave reviews to let me know your thoughts.
