  4. The Course: Year 2. Topic 5 • Photosynthesis • Climate change effects Topic 6 • Forensics • Infection and disease Topic 7 • Respiration • Joints and movement • Biology of exercise Topic 8 • Brain and mind • Learning

  5. Core Practical's • 18 over 2 years (Not the only practical's) • All need to be completed and written up • Will be assessed in exams • Assessed on practical competencies and given a pass/fail at the end of the course.

  6. Assessments • You will have small regular class assessments. • You will also have bigger half termly assessments • Mocks before exams • Regular assessment of practical skills

  7. The exams Exam 1 Exam 2 Exam 3 • Topic 1-4 • Topic 5 and 6 • Practical's • Topic 1-4 • Topic 7 and 8 • Practical's • Topic 1-8 • Pre-release article • Practical's

  9. Your Summer Assignment Task 1: GCSE knowledge reviewwww.pearsonactivelearn.com Username: FirstnameSurname eg. JaneGilmore Password: Biology123 (Capital letter important) • Go to work set and do the 7 short tasks and tests that have been set for you- I will be sent your mark so will know if they are done! • Explore the website to look at what you will be learning! Task 2: Biology wider reading Mini project • Click on the link and choose any of the A level activities that interest you and complete • Be prepared to present your findings in the first lessons of AS Biology • Good Luck

  10. L.O. to set up and use the microscope, to handle living organisms with due care, to consider validity of practical investigations. Practical • Aim: to investigate how changing temperature affects the heart rate of invertebrate.

  11. L.O. to set up and use the microscope, to handle living organisms with due care, to consider validity of practical investigations. Heart Investigating heart rate of Daphnia. • Set up the Daphnia for viewing under the microscope: -Place a few threads of cotton wool on the slide, transfer a Daphnia in a pipette to the slide. It will get trapped in the thread without being harmed. -Now add water to the petri dish 2. Look through the microscope- you should be able to see the heart beating. 3. Count the number of beats in a minute. 4. What happens to the heart rate when you add some warm (not boiling!) water? Daphnia, or fresh water fleas are small crustaceans which are ectothermic, they do not have physiological means of controlling their body temperature.

  12. Consider: What is a valid experiment? If you were investigating the effect of temperature on heart rate of Daphnia how would you make the experiment valid? What are the ethical implications of this experiment?
