A 12 slide presentation of AS Biology specification relating to Organisms that cause disease.
Slides include differences in words (Health, disease and pathogens), parasites, transmission of disease, malaria, HIV(aids), TB and a task for the students to complete at the end of the presentation.
It includes scientific words and diagrams which are easy to follow.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my resource and I hope you find it beneficial.
Please feel free to leave feedback and to 'follow me' so as not to miss out on future helpful resources.
This power point was made specifically for my Foundation & GCSE Double Award students and only covers that strand of the specification.
It is colourful, has pictures and easy to follow key points. An excellent class resource to show the class and for them to make appropriate notes in their exercise books.
A worksheet which can be used as a plenary sheet or to set as a homework.

This resource is for anyone teaching AS Biology Molecular molecules , specifically Lipids.
You get 2 resources for the price of one.
The power point shows the structure and function of lipids, including phospholipids, cholesterol and triglycerides, unsaturated and saturated fatty acids and functions of lipids.
Also, there is a second word document with easy to follow diagrams and notes which could be used as a class set, resource tool or a hand out for struggling students.
This is a 13 slide power point covering the specification for AS AQA Biology. It would also be helpful for OCR AS Biology spec.
It covers what enzymes are, their structure and properties, rate of reaction, activation energy, effects of temp, pH, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration on enzyme action, finishing with competitive and non-competitive inhibition.
Slides are easy to read, include colourful diagrams and easy to follow facts. Good for a class presentation or to give students for revision.

This is a 9 slide power point on Respiration.
I use this with my Foundation & GCSE Double award class as a class presentation and as a starter for my Triple Group. With Triple groups you will only need to include the chemical equation for respiration and go into more detail with respect to ATP, which is not required for double award.
It includes aerobic and anaerobic respiration, differences between the two, the word equations, release of energy (ATP), oxygen debt and RQ quotient.

This is a 9 slide presentation for AS Biology on the differences between DNA and RNA, links needed for protein synthesis (transcription & translation) and finishing with DNA replication. and the experiments using N15.
I made this for an overview for my students studying OCR AS Biology syllabus, but would be helpful for AQA.

This is a power point explaining all of the key terms related to ecosystems with exam terminology and great pictures and diagrams. I uploaded this onto my school system as a homework to test students on all of the key terms and what they mean. I have also used a plenary to lessons and as revision at the end of the unit.
Also, found this really helpful with GCSE foundation/SEN groups; as the term are easily read and the pictures are bright and eye catching.
The work sheet has every key word written and students just fill in the definitions. They can then stick the sheet in the front of their books.
The second worksheet is for a class activity, or a home work and sets students tasks to complete on ecosystems, predator - prey relationships, etc.
The following terms are stated: classification (artificial and natural), evolutionary trees, binomial system (genus & species), habitat, ecosystem, producer, consumer, pyramid of numbers, biomass , predator, prey, equation foe energy transfer in food chains, energy loss through food chains, parasites, mutualism, interspecific and intraspecific relationships, adaptations (specialists, generalists, extremophiles, anatomical and behavioural adaptations).
This is a 29 slide power point specifically to cover all aspects of the OCR AS Biology specification.
The syllabus is shown at the beginning so students can tick off each stage of the specification as you teach it.
Easy to read text following closely to the specification, colourful diagrams and easy to understand explanations.
The slides include structure of enzymes, intracellular and extracellular uses, phagocytosis, action of enzymes, effect of temp, pH, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration (and experimental investigations with graphs), competitive and non-competitive inhibition, rate of reaction, cofactors and co-enzymes, finishing with metabolic poisons as inhibitors and medical drugs acting as inhibitors (again following all examples stated by the specification).
Thank you for taking the time to look at my resource and I hope you find it beneficial.

This is a 16 slide power point covering the new AQA AS syllabus (2015/2016). It covers all aspects of proteins including exam questions and technique at the end with respect to longer answer questions.
The power point covers the following: amino acid structure, dipeptides, peptide bonds, polypeptides, structural differences (primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures), functions of proteins, fibrous and globular differences, and finishes with two long 6-mark questions and exam technique answers.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my resource and I hope you find it beneficial.

Bundle consists of a 100 slide powerpoint covering everything in these topics as covered by the specification.
As well as the powerpoint their are sheets which could be benificail to teaching the lessons.
Life cycle of a virus
Aseptic technique
Forensics questions
MRSA
Turbidity
Zones of inhibition worksheet
Flu
Cell mediated immunity
PCR storyboard (basics)
Gel electrophoresis
This bundle consists of 14 worksheets to aid the teaching of the structure of kidneys. Suitable for any A level studies involving the structure of the kidney.
These should be used as starters, lesson activities, home works and plenaries.
They include:
Kidney structure
Kidney diagrams to label
Kidney Qu & Answer pack
Kidney main parts and their function
Kidney dissection sheets and sheets to use during dissection work
Kidney tubule (nephron) pic

Hopefully will be helpful.
This pack includes a power point showing step by step what density is and how to calculate it.
It is suitable for both KS3 Science and KS4 GCSE Physics
In the power point it gives the equation and how to calculate the density of a liquid, a regular object and an irregular object.
After or during the power point students can carry out the different techniques, collecting data and working out various densities.
At the end, I have included 2 worksheets which can be used as consolidation, a plenary activity, a home work or a test in next lesson.
This resource covers the CIE iGCSE Biology 0970 syllabus, It consists of a full power point that covers the following sections:
