Lesson covering the different components of blood and their roles. The lesson is designed to be able to be taught by a non specialist. Some of the student resources are at the end of the powerpoint which is designed to lead students through the lesson. Thanks to those who have provided resources which i have based activities on.

Students use sheet to track their progress through the unit against 'I can' statements (foundation + higher). End of each lesson students can tick off statements covered and record their understanding (i get them to draw smiley or sad faces next to the statements). Students can use the record to target revision on areas of least understanding, track revision and show progress by indicating where understanding has improved i.e. a sad face has become a smiley face. Students can also set targets against the statements and indicate areas where they are in need of support.

First of two lessons which guide students through the controversy surrounding the use of mercury based dental fillings. Source information is analysed by students to practice extracting and analysing ideas from sources.

Second lesson on the evidence regarding the potential benefits and risks form mercury filings. This lesson outlines evidence for risks associated with mercury fillings. Students use source material to summarise and evidence the arguement.

This is the first lesson of 12 for OCR 21C unit B4 Homeostasis. The lesson covers an introduction to homeostasis, effectors, receptors etc. In the notes section below the slides i have written my lesson notes. Have also attached the worksheet. Hope this proves of use.

Taboo cards with instructions for variation topic. I have not written this resource myself but dont know where i downloaded it from! If you are the original author please drop me a mail.

Brief worksheet. Students enter the key terms that match the defintion.

Taboo cards to accompany OCR B1 you and your genes. Terms include: variation, clone, allele, dominant, reccesive, chromosome,carrier. I have not made this resource but cant remember where i originally downloaded from. If you created this and would like to be acknowledged / the resource removed please drop me a mail,

Card sort for AS Biology comparing the features of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Students arrange the statements inot 3 piles: statements about prokaryotes, statements about eukaryotes, statements that relate to both cell types. Slide 1 statments are sorted (the answer), bottom row relates to both cell types. Slide 2 statments are jumbled up so you could just print out and give to the students to cut up :-)

Students to use wordsearch to find the key words to complete the cloze paragraph. Created as a revision activity for OCR B2 Keeping Healthy. Includes: Microorganisms, immune system and white blood cells.

Lesson powerpoint and exam questions on the link reaction and krebs cycle. The first part of the powerpoint is a review of glycolysis. The resources required by students for the activities are at the end of the ppt. The Krebs cycle slides are more detailed than required for A Level. I use this as a stimulus for the students to annotate the simplified krebs cycle on the last slide. Hope its useful!

I print this off in A3 and laminate. Place on the students desk and they can use it for reference throughout the unit. Activities can be structured around the diagrams or the keyword lists. Students can write on the sheets and the sheets can be wiped and reused. Side 1: List of unit keywords, key diagrams, and value continuum which students can mark their understanding of different concepts. Side 2 : help on planning the structure of 6 mark question answers.

A student checklist for OCR 21st C additional science (from 2011) unit b5. I have tried to re-write the spec as a list of 'i can statements'. Students can use these to self assess their knowledge at the start / end of lessons and during revision. There is space for students to rate their understanding of each point.
