This pdf covers • heredity as the process by which genetic information is transmitted from one generation to the next • a simple model of chromosomes, genes and DNA in heredity, including the part played by Watson, Crick, Wilkins and Franklin in the development of the DNA model • differences between species • the variation between individuals within a species being continuous or discontinuous, to include measurement and graphical representation of variation • the variation between species and between individuals of the same species meaning some organisms compete more successfully, which can drive natural selection • changes in the environment which may leave individuals within a species, and some entire species, less well adapted to compete successfully and reproduce, which in turn may lead to extinction • the importance of maintaining biodiversity and the use of gene banks to preserve hereditary material This booklet is designed to be printed off and given to students to work through - included is a second teacher copy with all the activities completed. By the end of the unit student will have a complete set of notes for the topic.

This pdf covers Relationships in an ecosystem • the interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem, including food webs and insect pollinated crops • the importance of plant reproduction through insect pollination in human food security • how organisms affect, and are affected by, their environment, including the accumulation of toxic materials This booklet is designed to be printed off and given to students to work through - included is a second teacher copy with all the activities completed.

These resources have been created to aid both teachers and parents teach younger children from 11 to 14. They have been designed to give a basic introduction to a range to topics in junior Science. Each resource takes the form of a booklet to be printed out and completed by the student. It has been produced in black and white to aid reproduction of numerous copies. The booklets consist of a title page, learning intentions and key words page and then a series of tasks to teach the subject. The booklets would make an excellent introduction to most Physics, Chemistry and Biology topics studied while in secondary/high school. In addition, home schooled children could be guided through these resources with just basic specialist knowledge. Each booklet comes with a completed “teacher copy” with all tasks filled in so that the teacher can ensure that all learners are consistent with their work. This topic covers breathing systems (respiration).

By the end of the unit student will have a complete set of notes for the topic.

This pdf covers: Cells and organisation • cells as the fundamental unit of living organisms, including how to observe, interpret and record cell structure using a light microscope • the functions of the cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, vacuole, mitochondria and chloroplasts • the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells • the role of diffusion in the movement of materials in and between cells • the structural adaptations of some unicellular organisms • the hierarchical organisation of multicellular organisms: from cells to tissues to organs to systems to organisms This booklet is designed to be printed off and given to students to work through - included is a second teacher copy with all the activities completed. By the end of the unit student will have a complete set of notes for the topic.

This pdf covers Cellular respiration • aerobic and anaerobic respiration in living organisms, including the breakdown of organic molecules to enable all the other chemical processes necessary for life • a word summary for aerobic respiration • the process of anaerobic respiration in humans and micro-organisms, including fermentation, and a word summary for anaerobic respiration • the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration in terms of the reactants, the products formed and the implications for the organism This booklet is designed to be printed off and given to students to work through - included is a second teacher copy with all the activities completed. By the end of the unit student will have a complete set of notes for the topic.
