4 presentations covering the AQA 9-1 GCSE Biology B8: Photosynthesis chapter of the Kerboodle scheme in which GCSE students develop an understanding of the process of photosynthesis, limiting factors to the rate of photosynthesis, and how plants used the glucose they produce. Most presentations are also available as digital worksheets, which are ideal for independent study or catch-up of missed work through absence. Each presentation contains- Bell work activity Lesson objective and success criteria Information slides Challenge activities (group work) Practical activity (where appropriate) 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. If you require more assistance, please contact me at- cmgeducationresources@gmail.com

My students love completing these visually appealing worksheets, which break topics down into manageable chunks. Useful as a revision exercise or as a quick assessment. All worksheets are black and white to allow students to add colour to the diagrams, a process which is thought to aid the formation of visual memories. Photosynthesis pack Includes 4 worksheets covering: structure/function of chloroplasts light dependent reaction light independent reaction * limiting factors of photosynthesis 2 different light independent reaction worksheets are included - one with ‘TP’ for AQA/OCR, and the other with ‘GALP’, for those teaching the Edexcel specification. For each worksheet, differentiated versions are included: a version containing just the diagram, for more confident students to annotate themselves. a scaffolded version, with ‘fill in the gap’ structure. Completed versions with answers are also included. APOLOGIES - typo on the light independent reaction is now corrected (original version stated triglycerides were synthesised from GP, this sentence should have read ‘fatty acids are synthesised from GP’). Respiration pack Includes 5 worksheets covering: structure of mitochondria / sites of aerobic respiration glycolysis the link reaction & Krebs cycle oxidative phosphorylation anaerobic respiration (lactate fermentation and alcoholic fermentation). For most worksheets, differentiated versions are included: where appropriate, a version containing just the diagram, for more confident students to annotate themselves. a scaffolded version, with ‘fill in the gap’ structure. Completed versions with answers are also included (for oxidative phosphorylation, answers for both permutations of total ATP produced are included, in order to cover all exam boards i.e. 32 / 38 total ATP).
