A full lesson covering section 4.2.1h the conservation of species both in situ and ex situ. It covers the difference between the two types of conservation as well as an in-depth look at the advantages and disadvantages of both. It covers various examples of both including wildlife parks, zoos, botanic gardens and seed banks. The lesson includes a starter, full notes, lots of student activities and a differentiated summary at the end All answers included

A full lesson revising content from the AQA Biology module- bioenergetics. This lesson covers photosynthesis and is suitable for both trilogy and the Biology science GCSE. The lesson starts by revising the reactants for photosynthesis and the equation along with the uses of glucose. It then has a quick summary activity before looking at leaf structure. The lesson then moves on to limiting factors with a series of data based activities. In between this the lesson looks at the required practical and covers the method as well as some extension questions. The lesson closes by looking at photosynthesis in ecosystems by considering the carbon cycle (from B7) but also the role played by photosynthesis in determining which plants can grow in differetn areas. All answers provided Requires no printing as all activities are in the PowerPoint

A complete lesson revising the two required practicals in AQA Biology paper 2- sampling and reactions rates. The lesson starts with a reminder of some key terms before reminding students of biotic and abiotic factors and the events that make up a reflex response, The lesson then move son to the two required practicals covering them with a mix of worked examples. exam questions and mathematic practice All answers included

This is a complete lesson covering sections 5.2.1 a, b and c of the OCR Biology specification- chloroplasts and chlorophyll. It starts by looking at the compensation point and offering students the chance to analyse some data. It then looks at chloroplasts and how they are adapted to their role before discussing the structure of chlorophyll. The lesson then looks at light absorption spectra and provides data for students to draw a graph of the absorption spectra for chlorophyll a and b. The lesson closes by looking at photosystems and introducing their role in the light dependent reaction. The lesson does not cover chemiosmosis. I cover this during respiration.
