A powerpoint for the seventh lesson of the AQA AS level unit 2 Cells.
Includes two worksheets, one for creating a storyboard for cell fractionation and a worksheet with exam questions. Answers for the exam question worksheet are on the powerpoint and on the worksheet itself.
Goes through the steps of cell fractionation, including the specificity of buffers and the order of the organelles when being spun faster.
A powerpoint for AQA A level unit 8.2 “Most of a cell’s DNA is not translated”
Includes two worksheets; one for 10 minutes of exam questions and one worksheet that has been made from the AQA textbook summary questions. The answers for all worksheets are on the worksheets.
Powerpoint goes through the descriptions of all four types of stem cells, where they are found and iPS cells.
A powerpoint for AQA AS level unit 4 Genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms (3.4.5 Species and taxonomy). Starter is getting students to think about differences and similarities between similar organisms, attempting to get them to think what defines a species.
Gives an explanation on the binomial system, defining a species and how courtship behaviour is important for the survival of a species. Includes definitions of key words throughout.
Mini research task to get students to find the binomial names from common names of organisms (Internet is required for this)
There are also exam questions based on the lesson including definitions, explaining why courtship behaviour is necessary and using knowledge to explain how you can find out if two organisms are of the same species. Both worksheets come with answers at the bottom.
A powerpoint for the first lesson of the AQA AS level unit 1 Biological molecules.
Includes one worksheet with exam questions. Answers for the exam questions are on the sheet as well as on the powerpoint.
Also includes a sheet needed for a questioning task on the powerpoint.
Powerpoint goes through the definitions for monomers and polymers, examples of polymers and their monomers, and condensation and hydrolysis reactions.
A powerpoint for the fifth lesson of the AQA AS level unit 2 Cells.
Includes two worksheets, one for labeling a microscope for the starter and a worksheet with exam questions. Answers for the worksheets are on the powerpoint for the microscope and on the worksheet for the exam questions.
Comparison plenary at the end of the powerpoint to assess knowledge of light, TEM and SEM microscope differences.
A powerpoint for the second lesson of the AQA AS level unit 2 Cells. Starter is identifying electron micrograph images.Includes three slides recapping GCSE level specialised cells (red blood cell, root hair cell and palisade cell).
Main task is a research task for the students on their phones/laptops but students have to use their knowledge to link functions to adaptations. There are questions for the groups after they have presented with the answers in the notes of the slide.
There are slides to guide students through an exam question for adaptations. Theres a worksheet for an exam question. Answers for the worksheet are on the powerpoint.
A powerpoint for the first lesson of the AQA AS level unit 2 Cells. Includes slides for an information hunt for the functions of the GCSE level organelles and the AS level organelles. All treasure hunt slides have a microscopic image of the organelle and a diagram. There is a worksheet for the treasure hunt with different microscopic images so the students can try to figure out the images themselves. Theres a worksheet for labelling a eukaryotic cell and a worksheet for an exam question. Answers for both worksheets are on the powerpoint.
