This is an introduction to foundation of lipids and their role in living organisms. the two ppt sets support each other to offer a comprehensive one lesson or spread over two depending on how the students are finding the content. Includes examples of phospholipids and cholestrol and their role as well as structure as lipids in thorough detail as part of OCR spec.

A thorough indepth lesson slide of proteins as polymers, diving into structure, and variety also. meets the specification for OCR, and other exam boards but with a bit more depth.

Slides to cover all of the proteins material required as part of spec, to include the monomers, and the variety of amino acids and their characteristics, scaling up to forming primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures. Relevant examples includes in these slides.

Essentially 2 lessons worth of Slides to introduce the first key biological molecules as part of the specification (includes spec reference slides). Includes key concepts of monomers, polymers, role of water, hydrolysis and condensation reactions , the key ions, and explores glucose and other carbohydrates.

Slides that only include information about the key inorganic ions required to memorise as part of the OCR spec, do delete/ hide which ions are not relevant ot your spec but these slides do include all of the possible ions presesnt! It can be overwhelming to introduce the inorganic ions in the first terma nd year of teaching AS Level bio but this is an excellent resource that can be used as a cheat sheet in future lessons also.
