EVERYTHING you need to teach osmosis! This resource pack includes an excellent power point presentation, which slowly introduces the concept of osmosis, step-by-step instilling key concepts including ideas on Turgidity, plasmolysis and flaccidity. This presentation also includes an experimental component on osmosis in potatoes, including a planning experiments, conclusion and evaluation section, and key skills based questions. This resource bundle is completely relevant for the OCR Gateway science 9-1 specification, IGCSE biology and any other specifications! The powerpoint presentation includes all the information needed to teach osmosis effectively, including exam questions, useful animations and diagrams, and differentiated learning outcomes. Also, there are two differentiated workbook packs for higher and lower ability students, this worked really well for the weaker and more-able students. Furthermore, there are excellent 6 mark questions and skills based questions for students to work through, including a role play activity! Hope it helps!

This bundle is completely suitable for OCR Gateway triple biology and mostly suitable for IGCSE. This bundle contains powerpoint presentations, exam questions on dialysis and how the nephron works and 6 mark questions on the kidneys. The 6 mark question is embedded in a student-friendly framework, which helps students plan out their answer and obtain maximum marks. One 6 mark question is differentiated for higher and lower ability students. Additionally, the 6 mark question comes with its own powerpoint presentation to help guide students through it. 6 mark questions are on: negative feedback mechanism and ADH, processes in the kidney tublues, how alcohol and water can affect the concentration of urine - taken from the old gateway specification. good luck!
