This is a complete lesson covering sections 5.1.5 g and h of the OCR Biology specification- organisation of the nervous system and structure of the brain. It starts with the organisation of the nervous system into both structural and functional groupings. It the gives students the chance to practise working out which system different actions belong to. It then goes on to cover the structure and function of the human brain including the cerebrum, cerebellum and medulla oblongata. It closes by examining the link between homeostasis and the autonomic nervous system. The lesson includes a starter, full notes, various student led activities and a differentiated summary at the end. All answers are included. I actively try to reduce photocopying, so all of the lesson resources are within the PowerPoint rather than as extra sheets.

This is a complete lesson covering sections 5.2.1 d, e and f of the OCR Biology specification- the light dependent and light independent reactions (Calvin cycle). It starts by looking at photophosphorylation in general before the specifics of cyclic and non-cyclic versions and photolysis of water. It goes through a diagram offering students the chance to construct a Z scheme. There are then some summary questions before the light independent stage. It the covers the Calvin cycle including the number of turns required to make a sugar. The lesson closes by looking at how other products are made by the plant and finished with a couple of exam questions. The lesson includes a starter, full notes, various student led activities and a differentiated summary at the end. All answers are included.
