Approximately 11 lessons depending on ability and time constraints. All referenced to the OCR A level specification and with objectives and summary questions for each lesson. Plant responses to the environment Controlling plant growth Investigating tropisms Commercial uses of plant hormones Mammalian nervous system The brain Reflex actions Coordinating responses Controlling heart rate Muscles Muscle contraction

For the new OCR specification 6.1.1 Cellular control lessons Also included is a hand out that I give to students to annotate diagrams and write notes in. Homework questions refer to the Oxford textbook recommended by OCR edited by Anne Fullick My teaching order is: 1. Mutations 2. Review of transcription and Transcription factors 3. The Lac operon, introns and exons 4. Review of translation and cAMP 5. Body Plans 6. Apoptosis 7. Recap of mitosis and the cell cycle 8. Revision

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).

For the new spec OCR Biology A 6.1.2 Patterns of Inheritance Questions refer to the Oxford textbook (Ann Fullick) Fast recall and some diagrams from CGP I usually print the handout ppt as a colour booklet for students to annotate The power point contains 13-14 lessons depending on your pace and activities 1.Environmental and genetic factors 2. Recap meiosis 3. Monogenetic, co-dominance, dihybrid crosses 4.Multiple alleles and practice Qs 5. Sex linkage, autosomal genes and epistasis 6.Summary 7.Chi-squared 8.Factors affecting evolution - types of selection 9.Genetic drift, Bottlenecks and Founder effect 10.H-W Principle 11.Speciation 12. 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)

Made using the AQA Biology specification (Triple Science) Contains 2 slides of activities to complete for the B7 Ecology 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

Made using the AQA Trilogry specification Contains 2 slide of activities to complete for the Homeostasis and response topic B5 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.

A factual presentation about cancer. This lesson was actually given to a year 12 BTEC class but would be suitable for KS4

Quick facts about the planets.

The powerpoint follows the reproductive organs lesson by replying to agony aunts I have uploaded the original samy the sperm pdf. I actually changed a few of the words before reading it out to the class
