This is a lesson I used myself to teach the Nervous Coordination concept of the Organisms Respond to their environment Unit, unit 6. - A level Biology, AQA specification.
Learning objective: To describe and explain how nerve impulses are generated and transmitted, and how synapses (including neuromuscular junctions) ensure effective communication in the nervous system.
By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:
Success criteria:
SC1: Describe how resting potential and action potential are set up in a neurone using ion movements.
SC2: Explain how neurotransmitters carry signals across synapses and neuromuscular junctions.
SC3: Analyse how structural features (e.g. myelin, T-tubules, ion channels) influence the speed and reliability of nerve impulse transmission.
Contains past paper questions that target this topic, some questions require knowledge from prior lessons. The mark scheme is also included to verify answers.
Powerpoint contains 32 slides and 7 past paper questions.
