A bundle of resources created for BTEC Applied Science Level 3 nationals. Unit 9 Assignment A. Contains a writing frame to aid students reach the distinction standard.

All features work when used with google slides. All features should work with PowerPoint, but might need some rearranging. There is a video in this lesson showing students how to brew alcohol at home using yeast, grape juice and sugar - if you are not comfortable showing students this please do not buy this resource. My reasoning for using this was to make the learning more relatable to them as my students don’t have enough cultural capital to grasp the industrial process. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the equation for fermentation. Describe how bread, beer and wine are made. Explain why people don’t become drunk from eating bread.

A lesson prepared to teach unit 1 Biology of Applied Science Foundation Diploma level 3. By the end of the lesson students will be able to: Identify what is meant by cell theory. Describe the timeline of discovery that led toward cell theory. Explain the importance of different microscopes with regards to cell theory. Lessons were intended to be used on google slides, should still work on powerpoint but might need some rearranging.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify amino acid structure and the primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure of proteins. Describe the arrangement of amino acids and proteins. Explain the importance of these structures. Includes past paper questions targeted towards the content delivered in lesson - correct answers are included. 24 slides in total. Answer key included for all questions.

A comprehensive collection of 32 slides which contain all of the relevant information for BTEC Applied Science Unit 9B Homeostatic mechanisms used by the human body Includes a writing frame to help students. B. D2 Analyse the impact of homeostatic dysfunction on the human body - discusses the impact of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. B. M2 Explain the role of hormones in homeostatic mechanisms - discusses the impacts of ADH on the nephron, the impact of insulin and glucagon on blood glucose levels. B. P2 Describe how homeostatic mechanisms maintain normal function - Discusses the function of thermoregulation, the endocrine system, osmoregulation, the kidneys, the nephron and blood glucose levels. Questions are included in the majority of slides in order for students to engage with the content whilst being taught. There are unlabelled diagrams of the: endocrine system, urinary system, the kidney and the nephron. With labelled content with function to reach the “illustrative” criteria of the coursework.

A comprehensive collection of materials needed to deliver the entire activate 3 (for year 9) curriculum. Although the SoW states that GCSE content can be delivered in term 3, there is enough content in this pack to last the final half term. Materials were prepared using google docs / slides - to prevent formatting issues, please open the resources using google slides instead of powerpoint. The materials include: A fully written scheme of work. Full lessons for each lesson / concept. Revision mind maps for end of units. GAP tasks to consolidate learner knowledge. It does not include due to copyright infringements: The end of unit tests for activate 3.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the reactants and products of photosynthesis. Describe how a leaf is adapted for its function. Explain why the leaf requires guard cells. Compare root cells and cells of a plant’s leaf.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: State the limiting factors for photosynthesis. Describe how a limiting factor can affect photosynthesis. Explain why these limiting factors have the effect that they do.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify substances that are transported in the xylem and phloem. Describe how a plant transports sucrose and water. Explain why the phloem and xylem are good at their roles of transport.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: State what’s meant by biodiversity. Describe how biodiversity can be increased / decreased. Describe what non-indigenous / alien species can do to biodiversity. Explain why there is a limit on how much fertiliser a person can buy.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the 7 life processes. Describe how to use a microscope. Explain why microscopes are sometimes needed to confirm if a substance is alive or not.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify 2 musculoskeletal disorders. Describe the role of the joint. Explain why decreased collagen content can lead to hypermobility. Explain why rheumatoid arthritis leads to pain in the joints.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify parts of the female and male reproductive systems. Describe the journey of sperm to the egg. Explain why it’s best for fertilisation to occur in the female’s reproductive system.

A simple and fun competitive snap game using scientific terminology matched with pictures. PPT can be presented to the entire class for a whole class session, or can be printed and cut for team games - there will always be a snap between 2 cards but the students need to find and identify the correct scientific key word. The students who calls out the key word first wins the round. Key words included are: Units, DNA, Bunsen burner, Tripod, Beaker, Gauze, Heat mat, Measuring cylinder, Safety glasses, Repeatability, Dissolving, Melt, Solidify, Evaporate, forceps, solid, Liquid, gas, reaction, reproductive system, microscope, pH, Periodic table, pipette, carbohydrate, fat, protein, test tube, lab coat, kinetic energy, sound energy, gravitational potential energy, atom, thermometer, cell, digestive, system, Electrical energy, circulatory system, electron, respiratory system, nervous system, litmus paper, skeleton, photosynthesis, light energy. Excellent as a settling activity or starter / interim activity.

Resource designed to use when delivering the Pearsons iBTEC Applied Science: Unit 5: Principles and Applications of Biology II Learning aim A: Understand biological molecules and pathways and their effect on the body Consists of 7 slides Slides were designed on Powerpoint and includes minor guidance on how to structure their coursework. Success criteria: I can identify lipids. I can describe the function of lipids in the body. I can compare lipids to carbohydrates.

A comprehensive lesson which will teach students about the process of transcription and translation Contains support slides to aid learners. Differentiated tasks in order to meet the needs of different learners. Learning objective: Analyze the intricate molecular mechanisms of transcription and translation, explaining how genetic information flows from DNA to RNA and ultimately to functional proteins. Success criteria: I can describe the different types of RNA within a cell and relate this to their location. I can justify why RNA plays an interconnecting role within the cell. I can predict and evaluate the effects of a mutation from the DNA code to the entire cell. Contains 23 slides and a lesson plan I used this resource to teach the Pearson international BTEC level 3 unit 14A genetics course.

A comprehensive lesson which will teach students about mutations and the role of siRNA Contains differentiated tasks in order to meet the needs of different learners. Learning objective: Analyze the impact of mutations on gene expression, protein structure and function, and organismal traits, considering both beneficial and harmful effects. Success criteria: I can define mutations and explain why mutations affect the produced protein. Critically evaluate the role of siRNA and RISC in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, emphasizing their impact on mRNA stability, translation efficiency, and cellular processes. 3. I can critically assess the ethical considerations surrounding siRNA-based therapies, addressing concerns about potential unintended consequences and the manipulation of gene expression. Contains 17 slides and a lesson plan I used this resource to teach the Pearson international BTEC level 3 unit 14A genetics course.

Resource designed to use when delivering the Pearsons iBTEC Applied Science: Unit 1: Principles and Applications of Biology I Success criteria: I can identify different structures within a plant. I can describe the uses of the parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma I can explain why these tissues are effective at their function.
