This 21 slide ppt covers the new AQA AS biology syllabus for genetic diversity and natural selection. it covers alleles, genetic bottlenecks, founder effect, natural selection, behavioural, anatomical and physiological adaptations, good colourful examples, directional and stabilising selection, investigating selection, asceptic technique and antibiotic resistance practical (using antibiotic discs). Thank you for looking at my resource, if you like it pls leave feedback.

The power point is a colourful, easy to follow explanation of the rock cycle. Suitable for KS3 and GCSE (SEN) students.These sheets were made specifically for my KS3 students but have worked really well with SEN and GCSE Foundation students. They are colourful, easy to read and easy to fill in. All can be used as starters, plenaries, home works or even as a class test.

This is a 10 slide ppt covering the new AQA AS Biology syllabus. It has easy to follow scientific text, diagrams and graphs. The following items are covered: structure of Hb, oxyhaemoglobin, Hb saturation, Partial pressure of oxygen, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, dissociation curves, Bohr effect, Hb in different animals, finishing with differences in human Hb (foetal, adult and myoglobin.

This is a 30 slide power point presentation covering every aspect of Gene Technology for A2 Biology (OCR or AQA specifications). This is extensive, contains easy to follow notes and diagrams. Will cover at number of A2 lessons and will help with continuity of learning. It covers the following Reverse transcriptase, Restriction endonucleases, in vivo and in vitro techniques, In vivo - vectors, plasmids, transformation and identification using antibiotic resistance markers. In vitro - PCR, primers, DNA polymerase, locating genes using DNA probes, DNA sequencing , Gel Electrophoresis, Restriction Mapping. It then features DNA probes used in medicine, advantages and disadvantages of in vivo and in vitro techniques, uses of gene technology. Gene technology - genetic counselling, gene therapy and genetic fingerprinting. (Cystic Fibrosis) Finishes with advantages and disadvantages and ethical issues.

This 22 slide power point covers the new OCR AS Biology syllabus for variation, standard deviation and spearman's rank correlation coefficient. The slides cover variation, interspecific, intraspecific, mean, normal distribution, standard deviation, spearman's rank and critical values. Slides cover all areas of the syllabus, including graphs and how to calculate mean, SD and spearman's rank. Each slide shows the students how to present data and how to work out each stage. It finishes with exam technique of how to evaluate data and what the exam board is looking for. Last slide is a question for the students to attempt.

This power point is a nice introduction to the OCR Gateway Drugs unit about the effects of smoking on the body. It shows the carcinogens found in cigarettes and how they affect the body. Gruesome pictures will make the students think about the problems - beware squeamish students.

These 5 worksheets were developed for low ability / SEN students to understand crude oil formation and hydrocarbons. There are story boards (formation of crude oil), and easy worksheets with "fill in the gaps" . These worked brilliantly with my low ability BTec group, but I also used them as starters and plenarys for my Foundation GCSE Chemistry group. Fun and easy to follow and complete. Many thanks for looking at my resources. Please leave feedback or follow me if you like them
