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.

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 using variable retrieval practice -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. This is fully self-explanatory and can be delivered without specialist knowledge apart from the keyword pathogen which means disease-causing microorganism (germs).

Designed for WJEC GCSE Biology as an easy-to-use booklet/PowerPoint resource. The booklet follows the Ppt. and covers everything students need to know for this section of the specification. This was done for an adult evening class where time was at a premium, but could be easily adapted for a series of lessons in a standard classroom environment. I have created similar resources for the whole specification.

This lesson covers homeostasis content from the new AQA GCSE Biology spec. Areas of focus are endocrine system, reflex arc, negative feedback, blood sugar control, water and ion control, hormones in reproduction and fertility and plant hormones. This lesson includes a variety of activities from gap fills to contraception- guess who. Students are able to work independently or part of a group. This lesson also include 2 accompanying revision worksheets that work alongside the lesson or can be given to students separately as revision homework.

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