Genes & Genetic Engineering GCSE / AS Lesson 3 Protein synthesis, Synthesis of amino acids, Transcription, Amino acid activation, Translation, The Genetic Code, Abbreviations for amino acids Gabbie27 Sorry. I think looking at this again after a good few years I agree it is not worth £3! I've reduced the price of all my AS Genetics work it was done many years ago and in places it show. I have a Genetic Degree but have taught exclusively Physics for some years now so this stuff hasn't been undated. Still a solid start point though even if the animations are a little dated. Curriculum

Snooker/Horror Graphs: fully differentiated lesson; 6 levels of worksheets, results tables and graphs; automated quiz at the start selects worksheet level for each student with hand-drawn tables and graphs to complete. They use their graphs to mark Mr Ferguson's effort. Assessment, differentiation and progress in spades! Done for a lesson observation, triple outstanding with bottom set Year 10s

Aimed at the NEW OCR Controlled Assessment but useful for all. A guide in planning an investigation using the old bouncing balls experiment to illustrate all the key points. An example piece of work is used throughout to illustrate each point and link to the marks scheme. Click the monkey on each slide for marking tips! Use with the students or just to prepare your own teaching.

Science Quiz 1 End of term is coming. This quiz comprises eight rounds of ten questions. Fully menu driven so you can do it in any order, the whole thing or just a couple of rounds. The slides in each round are timed so you can start it and leave it, with the ability to go back, mark after each round or at the end. Includes two sound rounds which students love. Challenging from year 7’s to staff!

It's Christmas! It's a quiz. Simple and automatic. Easy but should test everyone. Merry Christmas. Round 1 The night sky Round 2 Elemental fun Round 3 Festive flora & fauna

Genes & Genetic Engineering GCSE / AS Lesson 5 Genetic Engineering, Recombinant DNA technology, Isolation of the gene, Copying the gene, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Plasmids, Insertion of the gene into a vector, Cloning Frogs, Cloning Dolly (the sheep)

Cell Division, Mitosis, Meiosis (reduction division), Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Extinction (Hybridisation of Wildcats) Biology Key Stage 3 GENETICS AND EVOLUTION Objectives Outline the process of extinction Give examples of endangered and extinct species Explain different causes of extinction Analyse the traits of different cats to estimate their genetic composition Consider the limitations of this phenotypic data Organisms are adapted to survive and compete in their environment. If the environment changes they can struggle to survive and reproduce If this happens to a whole species it can go extinct Causes of Extinction: catastrophic events, habitat change, over exploitation, alien invasion, disease, hybridisation Use a series of questions to evaluate photos of cats and identify wildcats. Complete the table for each of the four cats using the trait descriptors. Total the scores and decide which cats are wildcats, hybrids or domestic cats. Links to BBC Winterwatch 2016. Where have the Neanderthals gone?

Genes & Genetic Engineering GCSE / AS Lesson 1 Characteristics of DNA, Variety of Life, Universal Code, Chromosomes, Chromosomes (human male), Deoxyribonucleic Acid, Nucleotide structure, Polynucleotide structure, DNA structure

Make a balance from a single sheet of A4 paper that will weight things up to about 3g (more with simple modifications) accurate to 0.01g. YES REALLY! A class can each make one of these in a few minutes and actually use it in experiments, then they can put them in the back of their books for next lesson. This is an indispensable piece of scientific equipment that cost less than ½p!

Genes & Genetic Engineering GCSE / AS Lesson 2 DNA replication, Isolation of DNA from onions, DNA Replication is Semi-conservative, Meselson and Stahl’s experiment 3D paper and card DNA model

Students and graph drawing need I say more. I’ve finally written this set of simple rules to help with the new OCR Gateway Coursework but this should be useful with KS3, KS4 and VI Form for Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths. Use the PowerPoint with the class as a reminder before they draw a graph and print and laminate the summary to put on the desks while they draw the graph. I've included a video by Semaj Nosugref the robot to explain things..

This is a FREE SAMPLE LESSON to show the quality of my work. Please take it, use it and enjoy it! I've uploaded the entire of the GCSE OCR Physics lessons P1-P6. P1 Energy for the home P2 Living for the future P3 Forces for transport P4 Radiation for life P5 Space for reflection P6 Electricity for gadgets Many of these have some very fun and simple practicals, linked homework sheets including marking PowerPoints and all are animated and have lots of pupil appeal. They contain a lot of my life with as many photos as possible taken of me and my family. The photo on the roller-coast is of me and my wife to be, our wedding photo is in digital images, the ultra sound scan is my eldest draught and the various animals are ours. This lesson is typical of my work but by no means my best! Please take a look at my other resources. Curriculum
