This resource is for anyone teaching AS Biology Molecular molecules , specifically Lipids.
You get 2 resources for the price of one.
The power point shows the structure and function of lipids, including phospholipids, cholesterol and triglycerides, unsaturated and saturated fatty acids and functions of lipids.
Also, there is a second word document with easy to follow diagrams and notes which could be used as a class set, resource tool or a hand out for struggling students.
This is a power point explaining all of the key terms related to ecosystems with exam terminology and great pictures and diagrams. I uploaded this onto my school system as a homework to test students on all of the key terms and what they mean. I have also used a plenary to lessons and as revision at the end of the unit.
Also, found this really helpful with GCSE foundation/SEN groups; as the term are easily read and the pictures are bright and eye catching.
The work sheet has every key word written and students just fill in the definitions. They can then stick the sheet in the front of their books.
The second worksheet is for a class activity, or a home work and sets students tasks to complete on ecosystems, predator - prey relationships, etc.
The following terms are stated: classification (artificial and natural), evolutionary trees, binomial system (genus & species), habitat, ecosystem, producer, consumer, pyramid of numbers, biomass , predator, prey, equation foe energy transfer in food chains, energy loss through food chains, parasites, mutualism, interspecific and intraspecific relationships, adaptations (specialists, generalists, extremophiles, anatomical and behavioural adaptations).
This is a 29 slide power point specifically to cover all aspects of the OCR AS Biology specification.
The syllabus is shown at the beginning so students can tick off each stage of the specification as you teach it.
Easy to read text following closely to the specification, colourful diagrams and easy to understand explanations.
The slides include structure of enzymes, intracellular and extracellular uses, phagocytosis, action of enzymes, effect of temp, pH, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration (and experimental investigations with graphs), competitive and non-competitive inhibition, rate of reaction, cofactors and co-enzymes, finishing with metabolic poisons as inhibitors and medical drugs acting as inhibitors (again following all examples stated by the specification).
Thank you for taking the time to look at my resource and I hope you find it beneficial.
