Artificial selection 13. Revision (Past paper questions from legacy papers)

For the new OCR specification 12-14 lessons depending on pace. A tricky unit of work to navigate through - I have chosen to do it in the order below, you may wish to teach in a different order! I have also included the hand out that I print for students to annotate during lessons 1. Development of DNA sequencing - timeline with Ted talks James Watson 1b. ( optional 2 hr documentary BBC horizon The race for the double helix 2. Gel electrophoresis and Sanger method 3. PCR, advantages and applications 4. DNA profiling and its uses including DNA probes 5a. Human Genome Project - comparing the DNA of individuals of the same species and different species link to 4.2.2 5b. Predicting amino acid sequences and epidemiology link to 2.1.3 6. Synthetic biology uses and examples. incl. Tedx ' The dark side of the double helix' 7. Principles of genetic engineering 8. Techniques of Genetic engineering 9. Genetic modification and ethics 10. Gene therapy (somatic and germ line)

For the new OCR A level biology specificaiton. I have included the handout I give students for you to adapt if you wish. It is not necessary to do all of the PAGs depending on what you have already done throughout the course. 1a. Natural clones 1b. PAG 4 Stem dissection 2. micropropagation 3. Cauliflower cloning (SAPS) 4.Cloning in animals 5. Biotechnological processes (includes the info cards) 6.Aseptic technique 7. PAG 7.1 – The effect of antibiotics on microbial growth (OCR worksheets) 8.PAG 7.2  Dilution plating to determine microbial density in liquid culture (OCR worksheets) 9. Growth curves 10.immobilised enzymes 11. Industrial uses of immobilised enzymes The PAGS used are available for free on the OCR website or SAPS (link given).

New OCR A level biology course. A power point with 11 -13 lessons depending on pace A separate power point has a hand out that I give my students to annotate diagrams and complete summary questions as we go. This is the order that I taught the content in, you may wish to change it! 1. Types of pathogen 2. Transmission between animals 3. Primary defence (optional PAG1 for an extra lesson here) 4. T Lymphocytes 5. B lymphocytes 6. Primary and secondary response 7. Antibodies 8. Passive and active immunity 9. Antibiotics 10. Transmission between plants and plant defence (could be 2 lessons) 11 Revision

Made using the AQA Trilogy specification Contains 1 slide of activities to complete for the C6 The rate and extent of chemical change topic I give these out at the end of each topic and also before holidays for exam preparation. I have made the boxes equal sizes so that they can be blown up onto A3 card to create revision cards for intervention/ starters/ plenaries Maths skills and RPAs are incorporated when appropriate More of these on the way for all AQA units, RPAs and maths skills. Feedback welcome

For the new OCR A level Biology course The power point contains the content for 9 lessons depending on your pace and there is a hand out to go along with it with diagrams to annotate and questions to complete. My teaching order is: 1. Classification 2. Evidence for classification 3. Domains and application questions 4. Phylogeny 5. Theory of Evolution 6. Types of variation 7. Standard deviation 8. Adaptations 9. Natural selection
