This task is designed for the NEW AQA A-Level Biology. Included in this resource is a ‘revision placemat’ for Cells. Concepts covered include: cell structures in animal and plant cells and their functions, cell adaptations, eukaryotic vs. prokaryotic cells, and mitosis. Pupils will also discuss photomicrograph measurements, osmosis, and active transport. There are 13 revision questions in total. Pupils may use their books if necessary but should test their knowledge by attempting to answer all questions from memory first. The solution for this activity is also included so you can check their answers, or they may self-assess. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions, please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :) For more resources designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA A-Level specifications for Biology, Chemistry and Physics please see my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience

This lesson is designed for the NEW AQA AS-level Biology course, particularly the ‘Biological Molecules’ module. For more lessons designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA A-level Biology course please visit my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience A-Level lesson format: I teach in more of a lecture style compared to GCSE. In the majority of my A-level lessons the beginning portion of the lesson is mainly teacher-led, where students are expected to take notes onto a handout/in their books. This is then mixed in with student-led activities, as well as questions and exam prep. You will find some of my slides have blank spaces for you to add more detail/descriptions/explanations. If you look at the ‘Notes’ section underneath each of these slides, you will find additional content which you can add in as you teach! This lesson begins with a ‘Carbohydrates’ true or false activity, students can answer these questions on their mini whiteboards. This will give you an understanding of knowledge attained at GCSE level on this topic. Students are then introduced to the differences between monosaccharides and discaccharides, and provided with examples of sugars in each of these categories. Students are also introduced to the differences between hydrolysis and condensation reactions, they can have a go at drawing examples of these reactions using the mini whiteboards. After this section of the lesson, students will sort statements into two columns - either describing a condensation or a hydrolysis reaction. Students are also introduced to the three polysaccharides - starch, glycogen and cellulose - but we will cover these carbohydrates in more details in another lesson. Students are shown the test for reducing and non-reducing sugars, they need to be able describe the steps involved with both these food tests, as well as state the positive result for each test. The last part of the lesson focuses on assessment, students will firstly answer a set of questions about what they have learned this lesson. This task can then be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided. Lastly, students will complete an exam question on this topic, which they can then swap with their partner to peer-assess. The plenary task requires students to summarise what they have learned in 3 facts, 3 key words and with 1 question posed to their peers. All resources are included.

For more resources designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA A-Level specifications for Biology, Chemistry and Physics please see my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience This activity is a revision activity for the ‘Enzyme Action’ lesson, students can either have a card each and the task can be completed as a card loop activity with the whole class. Alternatively, students could work in pairs and be given a set of the shuffled cards, they will then need to arrange the cards into the correct sequence so that the sentences make sense (like dominoes tiles). When students carry out this version of the activity, I often have a prize for the students who complete the task in the fastest time! The solution for this activity is included so you can check their answers.

This lesson is designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA Trilogy GCSE Biology ‘Scaling up’ SoW. For more lessons designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA Trilogy Biology, Chemistry and Physics specifications please visit my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience Pupils will firstly be introduced to guard cells and stomata and how they are able t control the loss of water from the plant, diagrams of guard cells turgid and flaccid will help with this description. Pupils will then be given a set of questions which they will complete using a video, once completed pupils can then assess their work using the answers provided. The next slide shows the process of transpiration, pupils are shown a diagram and then descriptions of each stage in the transpiration process are shown stage by stage. You may need lower ability pupils to copy the stages up off the board in note form first. For higher ability pupils after you have gone through it a couple of times you can move the slide forward and pupils will need to write a description of the process of transpiration using the list of key words and diagram as a cue. After this has been completed pupils will then focus on the factors affecting the rate of transpiration, pupils will each be given a slip of information about a factor and how it affects the loss of water from the plant. Pupils will need to swap information with those around them to complete their table. If pupils do not quite finish this task they can assess their work using the completed table provided in the PowerPoint. The last activity is for pupils to complete exam questions on the topic of the lesson. Pupils will be given 6 minutes as it is worth 6 marks, they should try and complete the question in silence at the back of their books if possible. The plenary task is for pupils to write down 6 key words from the lesson.

I have put together a collection of my favourite lesson plenaries which can be used as templates and tailored to your lessons needs! There are 17 altogether, ranging from anagrams to ‘Silent 5’ lesson summaries to writing twitter messages and Whatsapp messages to friends!
