Powerpoint including assessment activities, notes and videos for Part 1 - cells and specialised cells of Topic 1 - Key concepts in Biology

Simple, concise notes used with year 10

Simple lesson notes on bioaccumulation - used with year 10

This is a powerpoint used as a taster lesson for applied science and chemistry courses at a-level.

Includes an experiment brief and assessment criteria. Based on old applied science GCSE, can be used to support students with their experiment write up skills. Write up sections: Title page Contents page Introduction Desirable properties Risk assessment Procedure Results Evaluation Conclusion Bibliography

explain what is meant by a double circulatory system 2. understand that the blood carries glucose molecules and oxygen to the muscles, and waste products such as carbon dioxide away from muscles 3. relate the components of the blood to their functions, including: a. red blood cells – transport oxygen b. white blood cells – fighting infections c. platelets – blood clotting at injury sites d. plasma – transporting nutrients (e.g. glucose and amino acids), antibodies, hormones and waste (carbon dioxide and urea) 4. understand how red blood cells are adapted to their function, limited to: a. packed with haemoglobin (to bind oxygen) b. no nucleus (more space for haemoglobin) c. biconcave shape (increased surface area for oxygen exchange) 5. describe and name the main structures and blood vessels of the heart including the left and right atria and ventricles, vena cava, aorta, pulmonary vein, pulmonary artery, coronary arteries and valves 6. describe the function of valves in the heart and veins 7. understand how tissue fluid is formed in capillary beds and that it assists the exchange of chemicals by diffusion between capillaries and tissues, to include oxygen, carbon dioxide, glucose and urea.

Which chemical make up air, and which ones are pollutants? How do I make sense of data about air pollutants? What chemical reactions produce air pollutants? What happens to these pollutants in the atmosphere? What choices can we make personally, locally, nationally or globally to improve air quality?

What are genes and how do they affect the way that organisms develop? Why can people look like their parents, brothers and sisters, but not be identical to them? How can and should genetic information be used? How can we use our knowledge of genes to prevent disease? How is a clone made?

Developed to facilitate the APDR process. As SENCO, I use this to support me in collecting evidence for the assessing and reviewing stages and to inform conversations with parents in the planning and reviewing stages.
