This PowerPoint provides a fun and easy-to-use introduction to forces, interactional pairs, contact and non-contact forces, and how forces are measured and represented.
Natural Selection Examples

Natural Selection Examples

(0)
This resource introduces natural selection and three key examples of rapid changes in species brought about by evolution: bacterial resistance to antibiotics, pesticide resistance in insects, and the peppered moth before, during and after the industrial revolution. I use the first slide to introduce the process of natural selection. I then use an incredibly useful resource, available for download from TES on “sticky dogs”, which I get the class to evaluate. I then introduce the peppered moth example, before getting the students to complete the 6 mark past paper question to time. We go through the mark scheme to this question together before I introduce bacterial resistance and pesticide resistance. The students then complete the tasks set on the final slide.

Defence Against Disease

(0)
This lesson guides students through the body’s three main lines of defence again disease. Students begin by considering and discussing what the immune system is and why it is useful. Students then look at the difference between physical and chemical barriers to infection before learning about the process of phagocytosis. Students are introduced the B and T cells, before creating an artistic piece about a pathogen trying to avoid each of the body’s defences.
Organisation of Multicellular Organisms

Organisation of Multicellular Organisms

(0)
These resources are perfect for an introductory lesson on the organisation of multicellular organisms. At the start of the lesson, students are provided with a printed out version of the worksheet. As a starter activity, students label the human body with as many organs as they can. To stretch the top students, I ask them to describe the structure and function of any organs they have named. The PowerPoint resources can be used as a visual stimulus throughout the lesson, to guide students on which activity they should be focusing on. The PowerPoint also includes the answers to the activities on the worksheet. Included within this resource is also a research task which works well as a homework activity.

Plant Responses to the Environment

(0)
This high quality and easy-to-use resource on ‘plant responses to the environment’ is specifically designed for students studying OCR A-Level Biology. It includes information about the types of plant responses and roles of plant hormones. Students should begin by watching my video tutorial on this topic, which is freely available via my YouTube channel: BiologyWithNewhouse. I have included a link to the video tutorial in the activity sheet. Students should then use information from the video tutorial and the PowerPoint slides to help them complete the activity sheet. This can be done entirely independently, as a flip-learning exercise, or with teacher support.
