https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/DinosaurLaboratory Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it! My style of teaching isn’t for everyone, I’m a dyslexic teacher who’s heard it all, my lessons are all catered towards accessibility (because if they were not I’d never be able to read them myself). Everything is short sharp and to the point, I don’t believe in endless writing, reams of printing, spoon feeding diagrams or pointless activities. Every minute matters! Be sure to check out all my other resources, as a personal goal I intend to share all my resources at least once because hey, the government isn’t going to make it easier and we both know you are reading this way outside of your work hours. Enjoy, comment or rate if you can, but most of all hang in there, they need you way more than you realise!

A pack of four visually engaging worksheets for GCSE Biology students studying the homeostasis topic. The worksheets encourage independent learning as the pupils can work through them following the clear instructions given. The worksheets are useful for when learning the topic, for revision and/or assessment of knowledge and understanding of the topic. The pack covers the following: 1.) Skin structure and its role in temperature regulation 2.) Temperature regulation 3.) Blood sugar control 4.) Summary questions on the homeostasis topic Answers are included to each worksheet, helpful to the non-specialist teaching Biology.

This is a ppt for a lesson revising homeostasis. With slides with information, mixed in with quick activities for the class to do. You will need to add in page references for help pages from your textbook.

Visual lesson depicting the nervous system for all abilities, works particularly well for LPA/MPAs. The content follows AQA GCSE specification (Homeostasis - Biology Paper 2).

Slides to engage students about Homeostasis. What happened to these people? What was out of balance?
