Photosynthesis and Respiration resources - OCR A level Biology - As promised here are the Students task booklets and exam questions (plus MS). Used these to support teaching my Y12s during lockdown with the use of videos (@BioRachProject thanx) drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

@QuaysideMCUK Ok. An early KO

Good read for year 13 biology students linking to our current topic Patterns of Inheritance. #NortonBiology

@Whitworthtin4 Thanks, very very useful.

@ScietechSmith I think some chains and padlocks to keep them in your room!

Labeling new rulers today 🥳 Hopefully a colour and room name will mean they won't grow legs! 🤞

@cravenscience1 @BeaulieuBio Thanks, this confirms the order I teach.

@ScienceatNorton @BeaulieuBio I do respiration first. Rationale is that photosynthesis is harder (photosystems, cyclic/noncyclic, ETCs, Calvin cycle), so if I establish ETCs and ATP production in respiration first, it makes photosynthesis less daunting.

Always nice seeing how much stuff Y12s have learnt because the do photosynthesis before respiration @cravenscience1

@MrsSingleton Thank you!

Sharing is caring…. Retrieval grids for Biology, Chemistry and Physics! Feel free to download and edit as you wish 💜 #science #resource #teaching drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

@joeyd7777 @Hookean1 Thanks for sharing these resources

If it is of any use, here is a PowerPoint and worksheet I use to teach Errors in Science (GCSE), including a new look on the traditional archery analogy for Accuracy and Precision docs.google.com/presentation/d… docs.google.com/document/d/1_T… drive.google.com/file/d/1C4F_8o… @Hookean1 pls retweet

🧬Today is #DNADay, which commemorates the day that research articles on the structure of DNA were published in @Nature in 1953. 🧬 Take a look at our activities on #YourGenome for a fun and hands-on approach to learn about #DNA & #genetics. Get started: cstu.io/77896e

These graphics summarize some of life's hardest lessons. 1/ Distractions fill the space we give them.

This is intolerable, yet teachers are often expected to tolerate it. With careful leadership and training, these numbers don’t need to happen. Behaviour is the #1 priority to get right in every school.

Career ideas in biology #BiologyNorton

Great to look back at cross curricular work where a focus on photographing heart dissection featured in GCSE Art coursework. Now a talented A level Biology student!

Year 7 flower dissection in Ecosystems topic is always a popular practical @NortonCollege #lovingthepracticals

Plant tubs located for spring display @NortonCollege outside our Sixth Form Centre. A range of planted bulbs and pine trees. @YorkshireBloom @RHSSchools @RHSBloom

@hollyrosanna brings to our students lives the day to day struggles living with cystic fibrosis

Year 13 Biology students enjoyed today's practical dissecting celery and examining vascular tissues using toluene blue stain. @chatbiology

We're off! A wide range of greenhouse vegetables have been sown in our greenhouse @NortonCollege @RHSBloom @RHSSchools #tomatoes #cucumber #courgettes #butternutsquash #sweetpeppers #chillipeppers #melons

@edwards_dr2 Year 13 Biology students - background reading for Module 6. #BiologyNorton #happyreading

Good potential discussion around ethics of this! What happens if they do bring it back? Issue with genetic variation etc. theguardian.com/science/2023/j…
