OCR Biology A- Chapter 2 Basic Components of Living Systems

(1)
Chapter 2 unit from the OCR Biology A A-Level all about basic components of living systems. The unit was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. Including: 2.1 Microscopy (split into two lesson due to half of lesson one being used to introduce the course to new year 12 students. Could easily be grouped together as one though). 2.2 Magnification and Calibration (tasks involve the use of a maths skills in biology text book but could be swapped out for other textbooks/worksheets you have available). 2.3 More Microscopy 2.4 Eukaryotic Cell Structure 2.5 The Ultrastructure of Plant Cells 2.6 Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

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.
