During this lesson (B10.1 Principles of homeostasis) GCSE students work through a variety of tasks to develop their understanding of what homeostasis is and why it is important. Based on the 1st from the AQA 9-1 GCSE Biology (OUP scheme) B10: The human nervous system chapter. Also available as a digital worksheet, which is ideal for distance learning, independent study or catch-up of missed work through absence. Presentation contains (23 slides)- Bell work activity Lesson objective and success criteria Information slides Challenge activities (group work) Demonstrate understanding tasks (with answers) Lesson resources (additional to scheme) Aimed at a mixed ability class covering content 1-8. Please note: Kerboodle worksheets from scheme are not included due to license (alternatives suggested where possible).

B1.28 The principles of homeostasis and how this links to maintaining the functions within the physiological systems which contributes to maintaining a healthy body: • principles of homeostasis: o receptors o effectors o feedback systems o role of nervous system o role of the endocrine system • how homeostasis contributes to maintaining a healthy body: o maintains stability and function of the physiological systems and cells when there are changes to internal and external conditions that would otherwise prevent enzymes from functioning normally B1.29 The normal expected ranges for physiological measurements and the factors which may affect these measurements: • normal expected ranges for physiological measurements: Physiological measurements Normal expected range for an adult aged 19 to 65 blood pressure systolic mmHg:90–120 diastolic mmHg:60–80 heart rate 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm) respiratory rate at rest 12 to 20 breaths per minute (bpm) temperature 36 to 37.5°C • factors that contribute to measurements outside of normal parameters: o age o weight o exercise o sex o overall health

Key Stage 4 ~ GCSE Biology~ free introductory lesson on Homeostasis. In this lesson pupils will explain what is meant by homeostasis, give examples of internal conditions which our bodies need to keep constant and describe negative feedback loops. Extension questions are included on the slides and there is a pick and mix of different tasks to select from for your students. Follows the GCSE Biology AQA course. This lesson includes: -Title slide with learning objectives -A starter activity -Group reading (literacy) -Keywords (vocabulary: homeostasis, negative feedback, receptor, effector and co-ordination centre) -Task boxes -Order the steps -Handout sheet task -Answer slides included for self-assessment -Suitable for remote, online, distance learning -Suitable for supply teaching and home learning.
