Complete set of pre-work, PowerPoints, bespoke student class notes, any additional resources and marks schemes for four 1.5 hour lessons covering the AS / Year 1 Biology, topic 2: Nucleic acids.
In this bundle, the class notes, PowerPoints and all other resources are fully editable to suit your style of teaching. They make reference to, and may require students to access both the Toole & Toole and AQA A Level Biology Student Book 1 (Lowrie & Smith) for some independent study.
The pre-work contains links to websites, videos and some images in the folder dividers. The pre-work also requires students to complete a topic glossary (in the folder dividers), which are also available on TES, along with accompanying images. It is important students complete the pre-work prior to the lessons because they are then tested on their understanding of the pre-work throughout the topic.
The topic overview sheet is for students to write up their notes after the topic has been taught. An exemplar student topic overview will be included shortly. I task my students to assess at least one exemplar topic overview prior to them completing their first topic overview.
