Species and courtship behaviour AS level

(0)
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.

Adaptations to functions AS level

(0)
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.

Eukaryotic cells AS level

(1)
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.
