This lesson will look at the different food groups and how we can test for the presence of different foods.

Food tests

This lesson will look at how enzymes help digest our food.

Digestive enzymes

In this lesson we will build on prior knowledge from earlier years of the digestive system. We will look at the organs and their functions, and will learn how bile aids digestion.

Digestion

In this lesson we will look at specific parts of the digestive system that are adapted to absorb nutrients, and link this back to our prior knowledge about effective diffusion.

Absorption

In this lesson we will look at how changing the temperature affects enzyme activity.

Investigating enzymes

In this lesson we will look at how changing the pH affects enzyme activity.

pH and enzymes (Part 1)

In this lesson we will look at the results from the pH and enzyme investigation.

pH and enzymes (Part 2)

In this lesson we will look at how the lungs are adapted for efficient gas exchange.

The lungs

In this lesson we will look at the components of the blood and how blood vessels structure relates to their function.

Blood and blood vessels

This lessons looks at the structure of the heart and the path of blood as it flows through the body.

The heart

In this lesson we will look at how the heart rate is controlled by the pacemaker cells.

Heart rate

In this lesson we will look at coronary heart disease and how we can treat it.

Heart disease

In this lesson we will look at the risk factors of non-communicable disease.

Non-communicable disease

In this lesson we will look at what causes cancer and why survival rates have increased.

Cancer

In this lesson we will look at how the tissues of the leaf are adapted to photosynthesis.

Plant tissue

In this lesson we will look at how the plant roots are adapted to absorb water and mineral ions.

Plant roots

In this lesson we will look at how sugar and water are transported through the plants.

Transport in plants

In this lesson we will look at investigating the factors that affect transpiration.

Investigating transpiration

In this lesson we will review the structure and function of the digestive system, the lungs and the heart.

Review (Part 1)

In this lesson we will review non-communicable diseases as well as plant tissues.

Review (Part 2)

In this lesson we will learn all about the life of the unstoppable Maud L Menten.

Maud Leonora Menten

In this lesson we will have a look at how to answer describe, explain and evaluate questions.

Exam technique

In this lesson we will be calculating rates and calculating blood flow.
