Module 4 Revision grids. 9 x A4 pages in total 4.1.1 x4 4.2.1 x2 4.2.2 x3 Top features include: QR code - takes students to multiple choice quiz from the OCR QR code for useful videos QR code to questions on Seneca maths elements PAG elements checks key terminology *Checks ability to draw key diagrams Links to other parts of the spec where appropriate The activity is designed to check that students have an understanding of the topic and encourages independent working. I advise my students to use notes or a textbook before asking the teacher if they do not know the answer. Each side takes students roughly an hour to complete. I have used as homeworks, support sessions, revision lessons private study tasks and printed on card and cut to use as revision cards All other topics available. Please note, answers not yet available but are in the pipeline!!

New OCR A level biology course. A power point with 11 -13 lessons depending on pace A separate power point has a hand out that I print as an A4 booklet and give my students to annotate diagrams and complete summary questions as we go. This is the order that I taught the content. 1. Types of pathogen 2. Transmission between animals 3. Primary defence (optional PAG1 for an extra lesson here) 4. T Lymphocytes 5. B lymphocytes 6. Primary and secondary response 7. Antibodies 8. Passive and active immunity 9. Antibiotics 10. Transmission between plants and plant defence (could be 2 lessons) 11 Revision

This resource was made for the new AQA scheme of work for Triple Science Biology Included are 18 lessons with full objectives and spec references (based on 1 hour lessons.)

Made for the OCR A level Biology course including some hand drawn diagrams, custom animations using morph transitions. There are specification links scattered throughout. PAG instructions taken from the OCR website for the practical lessons PAG group 4 - please note you do not have to complete all of these. I like to do two of them during this topic My resources are kept within one long power point, split into sections for lessons. This is to allow for flexibility in teaching but also means you can flip back and forth to link parts of the topic together with ease during the lessons - 2.1.4 is 175 slides! Includes a 48 page handout that can be printed as a booklet with diagrams, questions, glossary and a few spare pages to allow for flexibility 1a The role of enzymes 1b Mechanisms of enzyme action 2. Factors affecting enzyme activity pH, Temperature and Q10 3. Factors affecting enzyme activity enzyme and substrate concentration 4a,b+c Enzyme investigation PAG 4.1 key skills serial dilution and standard deviation 5a+b Enzyme investigation PAG 4.2 key skills serial dilution 6a,b+c Enzyme investigation PAG 4.3 key skills planning 7 PAG style questions 8. Coenzymes, cofactors and prosthetic groups 9. The effects of inhibitors 10. the effect of drugs and poisons 11.

For the new OCR Biology course. A power point containing 7 lessons depending on your pace. The second power point is a hand out that I give to my students with all the diagrams and some useful questions. My teaching order is: 1. Habitats and intro to sampling 2. Sampling 3. Species richness, evenness and Simpson’s index 4. Genetic diversity 5. Factors affecting biodiversity 6. Importance of maintaining biodiversity 7. Conservation agreements

there are 2 different types of diagram to choose from for students to label. Have used with both KS3 and A level

A factual presentation about cancer. This lesson was actually given to a year 12 BTEC class but would be suitable for KS4

Inspired by @MrLPeachy I have created a learning journey for the AQA sicnece Trilogy specification. Fully editable.
