Some people have inherited faulty genes that increase their risk of developing particular types of cancer. The link between the BRCA1 gene and breast cancer was discovered in the 1990s using early genome sequencing techniques. Fast-forward to the present day and researchers at the Oxford Genomics Centre are working at the cutting edge of disease prevention and treatment using new faster and more efficient methods of sequencing. This activity is suitable for extending the more able and asks students to take the role of a genetic counsellor advising someone who has the faulty BRAC1 gene and therefore an increased risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Learning Outcomes: Students learn how a mutation can increase the risk of developing cancer Students interpret information in order to advise a person in the role of a genetic counsellor See more at: www.oxfordsparks.ox.ac.uk/content/how-read-dna

This is general knowledge for GCSE Science students, as you must now these compounds by heart to help you succeed in chemistry. Though scary at first glance, regular revisits will help to memorize them effectively for the dreaded exam. This resources includes: The Alkanes and Alkenes in a list, with a brief explanation. The FORMULA to work out the number of Carbon and Hydrogen that makes up a particular Alkane or Alkene. The Molecular formula. The Molecular structure. Master these basic compounds, master the harder ones in no time. Resource located in a Word document to printout or be converted to a PDF.

These three resources are applicable for the A Level and IB syllabus. All come with an answer scheme. The resources progress from simple microscopy calculations to understanding the different types of microscope and then using an eyepiece graticule to measure the size of microscopic objects.

The two activities attached (one is a worksheet and the other is a reading comprehension activity) guide students through the cells in the blood, their respective roles and start to introduce the pupils to the concept of immunity.

These two tasks allow students to build a model of the carbon cycle and then correct statements on some of the tougher aspects of the carbon cycle.

The Excel Document contains 390 key words that illustrates to students the importance (and volume) of vocabulary within the biology GCSE (whether International, AQA, OCR or Edexcel). I have also attached how the key words are utilised in topics. This is perfect for revision or as an introduction to a topic. or as ‘Key Word’ tests that are simple to mark and provide good feedback to students and parents. Expensive but definitely worth it! Any questions then please ask.

A full complement of resources and results based around the respiration of yeast under different condition (temperature, glucose concentration and yeast concentration). The students plan and carry out the practical and then analyse the results. This should account for two homework (one to plant the experiment and one to write it up) and a single hour long lesson.

These two documents summarise digestion, enzymes, stomach, small intestines, villi and the methods of transport between cells (diffusion, osmosis and active transport). A simple but very effective homework or class task that links multiple topics across the syllabus.

This practical contains the technicians advice on how to complete it - even if it does require a little fudging! The students construct their own method to investigate the effect of lipids on bile. This does not necessarily require a data logger rand phenolpthalein indicator can be used instead to give an excellent pink colour.

This lesson independently guides the students through the heating, chlorophyll extraction and testing elements for whether a leaf contains starch. There is then an associated task that is excellent for homework where the students shade and scientifically explain the reasonings for their shadings.

A powerpoint summarising the Food Tests Required Practical for the new 2018 AQA Trilogy Specification. Powerpoint includes; working scientifically assessments, Apparatus &Technique skills, Method and Graph.

The world of the microscope lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Specification (9-1). Designed for a mixed ability class. I have also included a hand-out on conversions as well as the required practical hand-out and answers as it goes with this lesson. It may be worth doing the RP after the plant and animal cells lesson however. There are also homework questions and answers. AQA spec link: 1.1.5 Relevant chapter: B1 Cell structure and transport. AQA Biology third edition textbook-Page 4-5 Specification requires students to know the following; Students should be able to: • understand how microscopy techniques have developed over time • explain how electron microscopy has increased understanding of sub-cellular structures. Limited to the differences in magnification and resolution. An electron microscope has much higher magnification and resolving power than a light microscope. This means that it can be used to study cells in much finer detail. This has enabled biologists to see and understand many more sub-cellular structures. WS 1.1 Students should be able to carry out calculations involving magnification, real size and image size using the formula: magnification = size of image size of real object Students should be able to express answers in standard form if appropriate. MS 1a, 1b, 2h, 3b WS 4.4 Use prefixes centi, milli, micro and nano.

Included is a chapter outline based on Kerboodle for AQA GCSE 9-1 Biology (B1) The schedule identifies the homework/ extended writing assessment and marking grid which matches each chapter. Included in this pack is all of the extended writing questions and marking grids identified in the schedule. The extended writing question pack includes a past paper extended writing question for GCSE Biology with a marking grid feedback sheet. The marking grid has a space to write what went wells (WWW) and even better Ifs. The grid also contains a SPAG section where the students can be given a grade for the level of SPAG that they have used, and a suggested way of improving their SPAG. The levelled answers are to act as a mark scheme/ model answer. This makes marking specific to the students, provides consistency and saves time. Student feedback from using this model of assessment has been very positive.

This resources gives the pupils information concerning the features of the five living kingdoms (intended for either GCSE or 6th Form). the pupils then have to classify the organisms on the cards and give justifications for the choices. A well differentiated activity.

A good consolidation task where the students get a model answer for one of the tougher topics in the GCSE. Comes with teacher answers & if you have any questions then please ask.

A fairly simple but effective cut-and-stick activity for either the top end of GCSE or to consolidate A level learning. Give them the exercise and all is self-explanatory.

A practical introduction to the genetics topic where the students extract DNA from strawberries. Really simple method that always gets results. The questions also get the kids to think about why they do the steps. Comes with teacher answers & if you have any questions then please ask.
