I currently teach IGCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Also A level Biology. The resources I produce for my lessons are carefully planned and I try to involve a lot of self-learning to allow students to develop these important skills needed for further education.

Modelling Climate Change

(1)
Edexcel IAL specification - students learn how the data for a model is produced and then extrapolated. We then look at factors other than carbon dioxide which can influence the model. Limitations of models are discussed.

The Global Warming Debate - causation or correlation?

(1)
A power point lesson which guides students through data in the form of carbon dioxide levels; global temperature; rising sea levels and glacial melting. Students gain practice in data analysis which is vital in this module. There are also a series of exam questions with answers to support their understanding. This lesson links with Edexcel IAL Unit 4

Edexcel Topic 5 Ecosystems, Productivity and Succession

(1)
A series of 4 lessons covering the following points: GPP = NPP + R Calculating net primary productivity Calculating the effficiency of biomass and energy transfers between trophic levels Terminology Biotic and abiotic factors Concept of niche Stages of succession PPT include many tasks for students to promote independent thinking and learning plus exam style questions and answers.

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

(0)
A lesson introducing the reactions for the build up and break down of ATP in cells including its uses and why it is the universal energy currency of a cell. I have also included 3 exam questions to test students knowledge. Mark scheme included.

9-1 IGCSE The Nervous System (4 lessons)

(0)
Lesson 1 covers the CNS, receptors and responses. It also introduces neurones and their role. Lesson 2 covers synapses and their structure/role in the nervous system Lesson 3 looks at the 3 types of neurones found in the CNS which will link into reflex arc Lesson 4 looks at the Reflex arc There are activities and assessments in each of the power point. There are also questions to generate a class discussion and check points.

I have put together a transition booklet for my GCSE students to work through during the end of term and over the summer holidays. It includes a brief overview of the course; what students should know from GCSE; exam terminology to be familiar with; practical skills needed for next year; scientific article and questions; recommended reading for the summer

Gene Pool and Genetic Diversity using Hardy-Weinberg equation

(1)
A level lesson focusing on the following objectives: Understand that changes in allele frequency come about as a result of mutation and natural selection Understand how the Hardy-Weinberg equation can be used to see whether a change in allele frequency is occurring in a population over time I have included many tasks which can be performed individually or in pairs. Students have 2 exam style questions to attempt using the Hardy Weinberg equation

A2 Structure and Function of the Mammalian Nervous System (3 lessons)

(0)
A2 Biology - The Nervous System covering the specification points: Know the peripheral nervous system is split into autonomic and somatic nervous systems; Understand why the autonomic system is split into sympathetic and parasympathetic systems; structure of the spinal cord; structure and function of `parts of the brain The power point contains the complete lesson including resources. There are individual and paired tasks for students plus exam questions to test understanding.

IAL EDEXCEL SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE JUNE 2019 - VENOM, SECRETS OF NATURE´S DEADLIEST WEAPON

(2)
A series of questions which focus on topics covered in the scientific article to use with question 7 Thursday 13th June 2019 Answer sheet included Range of topics to include:peptides and protein structure; protein synthesis; neurone and synapse function; cell membrane structure; enzymes; evolution; blood vessels; immune system; blood clotting plus possible core practical questions. I have included a copy of the article as last year many people had difficulty locating it. It won´t print when open in Google - try another browswer. 19 pages of questions - perfect for revision lessons or homework.

TOPIC 4: PLANT STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION, BIODIVERSITY AND CONSERVATION LEARNING GRID

(0)
A revision aid designed to support both higher and weaker students. Students have to read their textbook/notes to complete a grid of questions in specification order.Students can complete the grid to highlight areas they need to cover in more detail. Particularly supports ‘hands-on’ learners who need to write information down to absorb it Excellent as a homework task or directed study session Requires minimal preparation and interaction from the teacher - great for cover lessons!
