This fun and informative complete lesson covers all content from AQA specification content on ‘anaerobic respiration in yeast and plants’.
Using a detailed and engaging PowerPoint the students work their way through the content with a range of whole class quizzes, paired and individual activities. The range of challenges encourage students to learn new key words, and recall prior content (research shows recall activities helps children to remember so I try to include these in most of my lessons). The lesson structure challenges students to apply their new knowledge to exam style questions whilst also giving them expert exam tips.
Included in the PowerPoint & worksheet (with all answers) are the following activities:
Describe the anaerobic respiration equation for yeast and plants.
Describe fermentation.
Describe & explain the factors that affect the rate of reaction in fermentation.
Final activity further application of lesson keyword consolidation in the form of a fun crossword…
You should find the lesson is self-explanatory in that you can simply click through, and it flows through the content. My students have really enjoyed all the lessons in this unit so far, so I hope yours do too!

Included in the PowerPoint & worksheet are the following activities:
Begins with a warm up task - recalling biological molecules from unit 2 organisation.
Thought provoking questions drawing on students prior knowledge.
Differentiated tasks all in one - there are slides with clues on that will appeal to both higher level students (e.g. chemical structure of glucose) and foundation (linking biological molecules to food tests from unit 2 organisation).
Differentiated ‘fill the gap’ activity, I create give me a clue sheets which contain more information (less gaps to fill) to support less able students or those with SEN.
Fun guess the word before it appears and ‘say what you see’ activities.
Final activity further application of lesson & linking to prior units in exam style question.
The lesson should take about 1 hour but can be adapted to different timings.

This revision/plenary resource covers Biology only content AQA specification points 4.3.2 & .3. Use in combination with the first mindmap that contains all other content for Infection & response AQA spec 4.3 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/infection-and-response-revision-12977284 complete set available with a discount as a bundle.
The PowerPoint contains an intricate mindmap that encourages students to develop links within this topic; which teaches about monoclonal antibodies and plant disease; helping them to gain a greater depth of understanding of the unit.
To use this resource, print out any of the slides (best on A3) then students can use their own notes/textbooks to fill in the bubbles and make the links. Can be used as a timed team game – allow each member of the team 1 minute to view the complete version then they race to fill in as much of their copy in 2 minutes as they can remember, repeat for each team member. Then ask the team to reflect on their mindmap and fill in any gaps using their own knowledge. It also works well as an individual task for a quiet summary/revision activity.
For students that find it overwhelming to view the whole sheet I suggest covering half with plain paper and working on a section at a time to gradually build up the full picture.
