THIS RESOURCE IS NOW PAID - I HAVE ONLY LEFT THE LESSON PLAN. PLEASE HAVE A LOOK FOR THE FULL LESSON IN MY STORE. IT IS A 5 STAR RESOURCE, AS SHOWN BY THE REVIEWS FROM PEOPLE BEFORE THE RESOURCES WERE REMOVED This lesson is suitable for an interview or observation. Students recently completed a progress check on photosynthesis and respiration. This lesson introduces homeostasis to the students, from the topic Bioenergetics. LOs: (We are learning …) • What homeostasis is. Literacy Objective: • To apply key words; homeostasis, temperature, enzyme, hypothalamus, receptor, stimuli, effector, coordination centre Differentiated for learners: All students will be able to explain what is meant by homeostasis Most students will be able to explain why it is important to control the internal environment Some students will go even further and be able to describe the interactions of the key elements of control systems Legal Resolutions As usual, I respect copyright so as a result I have not included some resources for this lesson. A handout for students included would have been a mixture of relevant resources from Boardworks and Footprints. For copyright reasons I have not included this. Use other resources, such as textbooks or the internet to gain this research if these resources cannot be obtained. Question table obtained from Q4 of this lesson on www.kerboodle.com with your school’s username and password, again you will need to sign up for this for copyright reasons.

This lesson is aimed for a double lesson, but can be amended as necessary. Students recently completed a series of lessons on diabetes. This lesson is a required practical covering food tests. It will be written up in their lab books.This is ‘Required Practical 4’. LOs: (We are learning …) • How foods can be classified • What a positive test looks like for each of the food types • How to carry out qualitative tests to detect the presence of sugars (Benedict’s Test), starch (Iodine Test), proteins (Biuret Test) and lipids (Sudan III Test) Literacy Objective: • To apply key terms in order to write up a scientific investigation; reducing sugars, glucose, starch, positive/negative test result, iodine, biuret, lipids Ideally for this resource you should have access to Kerboodle. I have not included these worksheets for copyright reasons but you can access these through your school to obtain the differentiated practical sheets. Alternatively, you may use the standard AQA one in their official required practical booklet, freely downloadable on their website.
