Over 13 resources on 3.3 Transport in plants, for the new OCR A-level A specification.
This includes, powerpoint presentations on all the lessons, activities and exam questions!
Two powerpoint presentations that help students work through 6 mark questions on the cardiac cycle and double and single circulatory systems.
There are differentiated 6 mark questions, on a 6 mark question framework, enabling students to plan out their answers. The framework. The framework includes a key word box, command words section, plan section and assessment criteria boxes. The higher ability students would need to come up with their own assessment critiera, however the lower ability students can use the assessment criteria provided.
This is suitable for for the new OCR gateway 9-1 specification, IGCSE and many other specifications!
The powerpoint presentation shows how you can use these assessments as a peer-assessment or self assessment tool! For example, for the cardiac cycle question, there are exam answers for students to assess themselves using the assessment critieria.
Suitable for OCR A-level biology A specification and any other specifications if adapted.
Includes:
All lesson powerpoint presentations
exam questions for every lesson - taken from the new specification
End of unit test with mark scheme
Personal learning content sheet - includes learning outcomes and and other requirements from the specification.
all 3.1 exam questions from the previous specification
NEW* powerpoint slides with step-by-step calculations on oxygen consumption rates
*A mock specially made to test year 13 students on all the AS content.
*The paper is 2 hours and 5 minutes long
This includes popular exam topics and important practical/skills based questions.
Good way to prepare students before their real mock before their exams!

Resource bundle includes seperate lesson powerpoints for every lesson and ALL exam questions from the old spec AND new spec. There are also legacy specification questions.
Lesson content:
Lesson 1 and 2: The need for transport systems in plants + strucure and function of specialised cells and tissues in plants ( xylem, phloem, vascular bundles in roots and stems etc.
lesson 3: movement of water through plant ( osmosis, apoplast,symplast and vacuoular pathways)
lesson 4 part 1 and 2: Transpiration, potometer, transpiration stream, transpiration pull, pathway through endodermis etc
lesson 5: translocation
lesson 6: adaptation of xerophytes
Suitable for the OCR A-level biology A specification and other specifications.
Includes:
*All lesson plans and related exam questions ( new specification and old specification)
end of unit test
personal learning content sheet - includes a learning outcome check-list.
Fantastic practical exam questions on 6.4 cloning and biotechnology - completely compatible with OCR A-level biology A specification!
This bundle contains exam questions on planning an experiment on renin, a synoptic question on asexual and sexual reproduction
This also contains a resource on the effect of calcium ions on milk coagulation. This includes a practical pack, including investigative skills/experimental questions, technicians sheet, and also challenging evaluative questions such as limitations and improvements.
Furthermore, it contains a really good evaluative pack on the experiment ‘estimating the number of microbes on the surface of peas’. Both of these experiments were used as controlled assessments in the old specifications - however, really relevant to module 1 skills- skills our students really struggle on!
