A-Level Biology - All HW for Mass transport topic - Flipped style

(1)
Good structure for flipped learning, especially for beginners and the kids really liked the consistency, not just “research the next lesson”. Set of linking homeworks for the mass transport topic in the AQA A-Level Biology course. Structure is 10 short answer questions on a lesson on the left. Then a suggested YouTube link (and description) and Website link (and description) for further research about the next lesson. Includes: Two blank templates to use for the future The first name is what the questions are about and the second is what the research is on: Tissue fluid / Haemoglobin Haemoglobin / Oxygen dissociation curves Oxygen dissociation curves / Xylem and Phloem Xylem and Phloem / Mass Flow Hypothesis Mass Flow Hypothesis / Transpiration Transpiration / Limiting water loss

Used as an observed lesson (so have included lesson plan without student details). I used repetition in small stages to gradually build the picture of the thylakoid membrane and the students seemed very confident at the end. Use the knowledge based questions to check basic understanding before going on to the longer answer questions. PowerPoint Lesson Plan Knowledge based questions Longer answer questions

The first sheet has space for 10 questions based on the lesson just taught on the left and space for summaries of the key ideas on the right. The second sheet (the back sheet if copied front to back) has space on the left to write a link to a YouTube video and space for notes with suggested styles of note taking at the bottom. The same is laid out on the right for a website link. My A-Level students really liked the structure for keeping up to date with notes and preparation for the next lesson but could be used or adapted for KS3 and KS4. It can be taken in the following lesson and/or self assessed as the starter giving you a chance to go around and check completion.

A Level Biology - Immunity - Past paper assessment - Very structured!

(0)
Three questions on the topic of particle theory (AQA - A Level Biology - Immunity) that are on a nicely laid out sheet for completion and sticking into books. Includes self assessment at the bottom to allow them to choose which topic requires attention based on their score, not just their feelings towards it. The next slide has the answers in the wrong order so they actually have to read them not just copy them! Included is a blank version you could use for other topics. [image is just an example of others I have done]
