Worksheets on Word: • Each of the three worksheets allow students to develop their understanding of photosynthesis and skills associated with practical & maths work in Biology. • All answers are given on the PowerPoint. This lesson specifically teaches/recaps the following ā€˜Key opportunities for skills development’ taken from the AQA specification. WS 2.2 – plan experiments to test hypotheses. WS 2.5 – recognise that multiple samples will be needed at each light intensity. WS 3.1 – present a graph of light intensity against rate of photosynthesis. WS 3.2 – translate numeric data into graphical form. MS 1a, 1c – measure and understand the rate of photosynthesis reactions. MS 4a, 4c – plot and draw appropriate graphs of rate of photosynthesis against light intensity selecting appropriate scale for axes. This lesson is not supposed to be a replacement for the required practical but works equally well hand in hand with it as a follow up or could be used in conjunction with one of the recorded demonstrations available on YouTube in order for you to be able to cover all the necessary content with your students. A key theme to all my lessons is to encourage students to practise essential exam skills with many helpful tips scattered through each unit of work. Check out the final lesson in this unit for higher tier students – Inverse square law. MS 3a, 3d (HT) – understand and use inverse proportion: the inverse square law and light intensity in the context of photosynthesis.

Infection & response revision

Updated to include fully editable final slide! This revision/plenary resource covers the complete specification for AQA Combined Science – Trilogy unit 4.3 Infection & response (Biology only content add-on available separately). The PowerPoint contains an intricate mindmap that encourages students to develop links within this topic; which teaches about communicable disease, pathogens, defense systems, vaccination, and drug discovery & development; helping them to gain a greater depth of understanding of the unit. To use this resource, print out any of the slides (best on A3) then students can use their own notes/textbooks to fill in the bubbles and make the links. Can be used as a timed team game – allow each member of the team 1 minute to view the complete version then they race to fill in as much of their copy in 2 minutes as they can remember, repeat for each team member. Then ask the team to reflect on their mindmap and fill in any gaps using their own knowledge. It also works well as an individual task for a quiet summary/revision activity. For students that find it overwhelming to view the whole sheet I suggest covering half with plain paper and working on a section at a time to gradually build up the full picture.
