Here is a useful link to a free Biology Revision website. Hopefully a one stop shop for many students. https://sites.google.com/kinghenryviii.edu.my/biology/home?authuser=0

List and links to useful websites.

Slogan - 'It is our mission to accelerate learning for students of all ages.' The Khan Academy is a not-for-profit educational organization, created in 2006 by MIT graduate educator Salman Khan. With the stated mission of 'providing a high quality education to anyone, anywhere', the website supplies a free online collection of more than 2,400 micro lectures via video tutorials stored on YouTube teaching mathematics, history, finance, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, economics and computer science.

This is a list of AS environmental science websites that can be useful for students to use for extra reading.

This resources is designed for the OCR Biology GCSE, particularly the ‘B3 - Organism-Level Systems’ scheme of work. For more lessons designed to meet specification points for the OCR & AQA courses for Biology, Chemistry and Physics please see my website: https://www.swyftresources.com/ This lesson begins with a recap on the structures and function of the endocrine system, it then moves on to look at the positions of the different glands involved in the endocrine system. Pupils are shown an image of a human body (also can be given as a worksheet) and should discuss in pairs which glands fall into which position on the diagram. After the answers have been revealed, and are then assessed, pupils will now need to discuss the function of each of the glands. From a list of descriptions, pupils should try and match the name of the gland to the hormone it produces, this work can then be self-assessed. In the next activity pupils are required to draw a table and then in groups/per table they are given a set of cards which they then need to sort into the correct spaces on their table to summarise the main role of the hormones secreted by 5 glands - the pituitary, the thyroid, the pancreas, the ovaries and the testes. This work can then be assessed using the answers provided. Pupils can then complete a ‘silent 5’ set of questions on the topic they have covered so far, they should try and complete the questions on their own but for lower ability groups they may want to try discuss in pairs before answering. The final activity is an exam paper question on hormone levels, once completed pupils can use the mark scheme to mark their own work. All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)

Topic outline, references, learning outcomes and topic outline for wind farm project

Made for the OCR A level Biology course including some hand drawn diagrams, custom animations using morph transitions. There are specification links scattered throughout. PAG instructions taken from the OCR website for the practical lessons PAG group 4 - please note you do not have to complete all of these. I like to do two of them during this topic My resources are kept within one long power point, split into sections for lessons. This is to allow for flexibility in teaching but also means you can flip back and forth to link parts of the topic together with ease during the lessons - 2.1.4 is 175 slides! Includes a 48 page handout that can be printed as a booklet with diagrams, questions, glossary and a few spare pages to allow for flexibility 1a The role of enzymes 1b Mechanisms of enzyme action 2. Factors affecting enzyme activity pH, Temperature and Q10 3. Factors affecting enzyme activity enzyme and substrate concentration 4a,b+c Enzyme investigation PAG 4.1 key skills serial dilution and standard deviation 5a+b Enzyme investigation PAG 4.2 key skills serial dilution 6a,b+c Enzyme investigation PAG 4.3 key skills planning 7 PAG style questions 8. Coenzymes, cofactors and prosthetic groups 9. The effects of inhibitors 10. the effect of drugs and poisons 11. Revision - exam questions and podcast activity I huge amount of work has gone into my resources with some hand drawn and custom animations. Your feedback is really valued.

For SNAB AS Biology Course, Topic 'The Voice of the Genome'. This contains a full lesson plan and supporting PowerPoint outlining what stem cells are, where they come from and how they can be used. There are activities for students to complete including one that involves identifying different opinions and ethics that are involved.

For more lessons designed to meet specification points for the OCR & AQA courses for Biology, Chemistry and Physics please see my website: https://www.swyftresources.com/ The lesson begins with an overview of the function of the four main lobes of the brain, pupils will be given cards of information which they need to use to complete a table on these functions. Pupils will then be introduced to further structures which they are required to know the functions of: medulla, cerebellum, hypothalamus and cerebral cortex. Pupils will need to use posters to complete a worksheet where they label a diagram of the brain and outline the roles of each of these structures. Following this is a card sort where pupils can assess their understanding of what they have just learnt. The next part of the lesson focuses on how scientists and doctors have gained evidence for the structure and function of the brain. Firstly students will watch a video and answers questions on Phineas Gage, which can be self-assessed once complete. This will then go on to describe the role of electrical brain stimulation and MRI scans in providing knowledge about the brain. This is assessed with a copy and complete summary sentence task and finally the plenary is a 6-mark exam question. All resources are included at the end of the presentation.
