Maths Skills in Biology

Maths Skills in Biology

(69)
Lesson on Maths skills needed for the new Combined Science GCSE (9-1) with a focus on Biology content, although many of the skills are needed across all three Sciences. The lesson is intended to be a circus activity with all of the topics around the room (information sheet and exam question sheet for each that I printed back to back) for students to move around between and then mark at the end of the lesson. It could easily be done as a teacher lead lesson as well though and even slotted into other lessons as needed. The maths skills included are: Comparing Data Analysing Graphs Drawing Tables Calculating the Mean Mode & Median Calculating Percentages Calculating Percentage Changes Percentile Charts Converting Units Standard Form Ratios & Fractions Variation Magnification Equation Cardiac Output Equation BMI Equation Estimating Population Size Equation There is an information sheet and exam question sheet for each, as well as answers to all the questions.
Climate Change

Climate Change

(63)
A series of lessons looking at climate change and global warming. Lesson 1: Causes- what global warming is, what greenhouse gases are, are humans the cause, deforestation and fossil fuels. Lesson 2: Effects- data about climate change, sea level rise, ocean acidification, warming oceans, shrinking ice sheets, extreme weather events, effects on health and a graph drawing exercise. Lesson 3: Solutions- what can governments do, the Paris agreement, what businesses can do and renewable energy. Lesson 4: Solutions- what individuals can do to combat climate change. There are lots of exercises and information included in each lesson and it could easily be condensed down into fewer lessons by excluding some tasks. Likewise some of the tasks could be stretched out across several lesson depending upon the time you have. All worksheets/resources needed are within the PowerPoint as hidden slides.
