Aimed at GCSE this task sheet is intended to guide students through their first attempts at using an optical microscope. At the end of the task students will have focused their microscope at different magnifications, made a scientific drawing of the onion cells, measured a cell using an eyepiece graticule and calculated the magnification of their drawing.

2 Resources Included: 1.) Reflection practical worksheet - looking at specular and diffuse reflection. A more open-ended extension activity for more able students forms the final task and allows further experimentation - with curved mirrors for example. 2.) A consolidation or homework task that puts the emphasis on the correct drawing of ray diagrams.

This 11 mark sheet challenges students to convert units from cm or millimetres into micrometres and to use the magnification formula to complete 3 calculations as well as identify the type of electron microscope used to obtain each image. The included mark-scheme is a PowerPoint file allowing easy feedback and peer or self assessment.

This double sided sheet can be printed at A4 but works better as an A3 resource. This sheet covers the key areas of receptor function in creating a generator potential (specifically the Eye and Pacinian corpuscle), Resting Potential and the propagation of an Action Potential. Please note this sheet is part 1 of 2 and, when coupled with Sheet 2, a more comprehensive coverage of the necessary nervous control aspects will result. Individual sections contain marking points/scores so as to allow easy feedback and AFL with the included full mark scheme. This gives you flexibility as to how you use the resource and opens up peer assessment/self assessment opportunities.

This double sided sheet can be printed at A4 but works better as an A3 resource. The sheet covers the key areas of glucosregulation, including: the organs and cells involved; the various metabilic processes in affected cells including (but not limited to) gluconeogenesis, glycogenesis and glycogenolysis; Negative Feedback and antagonistic hormones; Hormonal effects (insulin, glucagon and adrenaline) at the cellular level for liver, muscle and adipose cells, including an explanation of the second messenger model. Type I and Type II diabetes Individual sections are titled so as to allow easy feedback and AFL with the included full mark scheme which can be projected as it is saved as a PowerPoint. This gives you flexibility as to how you use the resource and opens up peer assessment/self assessment opportunities.

This double-sided worksheet introduces students to both light microscopes and both forms of electron microscope. It also challenges them to some magnification calculations. Students will learn to differentiate between images from scanning and transmission electron microscopes and also be challenged in converting measurements in centimetres and millimetres into micrometres. The activity serves as an excellent primer for a microscope practical and should follow a demo where a teacher discusses the roles and names of the parts of a microscope. The sheet is accompanied by a full markscheme.

This resource serves as an excellent summary of how hormones released by the pancreas regulate blood glucose levels in the body. Included is the template sheet, a sheet of 2 tile-sets to be cut out and a PowerPoint markscheme that can be projected and used to add tiles one at a time as a stimulus. The sheet includes content up to A-level (16 to 18 yrs) complexity and details action of the pancreas both as receptor and effector.

The resource consists of a set of 4 source sheets (one for each level of protein structure) and a summary sheet for students to complete collaboratively. Suggested Lesson Plan: Sort class into 4 groups and give each group access to a few copies of one of the source sheets (potentially on different colours of card with numbers on the back as pictured). Give them a post-it note and allow 6 minutes (adjust as necessary based on your own judgement) to summarise the information on their respective source sheet. Do note the primary and quarternary source sheets are conceptually easier so could be used for differentiation. Then take in the source sheets and ask students to self sort into groups of four consisting of a person from each of the four original groups and help each other complete the note sheet. You can use time intervals to keep this moving on apace. Combined with past paper questions to aid afl this was part of an outstanding lesson when observed.

This PowerPoint of 8 slides outlines the structure of the chloroplast and examines the smaller structures within. The accompanying work/note-sheet allows students to record the information in a visually engaging way. This is aimed at A-level students (16 to 18 years old) and would serve as an excellent activity as part of an introduction to photosynthesis or in partnership with a chlorophyll chromatography practical activity.

This double sided worksheet serves as a summary of the main points of the Nitrogen cycle as covered at A-level and creates a useful revision resource when completed. The fist question involves a short sequencing/cut and stick activity to create an overview diagram of the cycle with the following questions testing students understanding of the processes it shows. Later questions tackle leguminous plants and eutrophication as well as how carnivorous plants use alternate strategies to harness nitrogen. Also included is a full markscheme that can be printed for traditional teacher assessment or projected for peer to peer or self assessment, introducing each answer with a click of the mouse.

A double sided worksheet looking at the nervous system and its role in homeostasis with a worked example in the form of thermoregulation. Questions are short answer, complete the diagram or matching so the sheet is suitable for most ability levels as a summary activity. A full markscheme is included

The resource consists of a 16 slide PowerPoint, a short summary worksheet, and practical task worksheet. The PowerPoint details learning objectives and a starter/stimulus activity for students before diverging into four separate sections which can be navigated from the central menu. The four sections deal with: Explaining Refraction; Ray Diagrams; Lenses; and Refraction in real life. Each section consists of animated slides and diagrams which help explain all the necessary content with a few optional extras for those more capable classes. The summary sheet should serve to help students reflect on and revise the taught concepts and ties in with the PowerPoint. The Practical Worksheet talks students through a series of experiments using rayboxes and prisms/lenses (Specifically rectangular prisms and converse lens prisms - though an extension activity allows for further experimentation) and has an open-ended extension activity for more able students.
