Year 10 CORE Biology Learning Cycle 3 Overview How do organisms interact with one another as well as the environment and what is their impact? Learning Cycle Overview: Line of enquiry 1: Hypothesis 1 Hypothesis 2 Hypothesis 3 Hypothesis 4 Line of enquiry 2: Hypothesis 5 Hypothesis 6 Hypothesis 7 Hypothesis 8 How do living things reproduce and what effect does that have on other organisms? All organisms need a male and a female to produce offspring You can only clone humans We need organisms to help make human insulin Biomass is how much energy there is in an organism How can animals impact on the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere? Dead organisms decay on their own Organic matter can decay at different rates Breathing produces carbon dioxide Deforestation is a bad thing for the carbon cycle Week 1 Week 1/2 Year 10 CORE Biology | Learning Cycle 3 | Medium Term Plan | Science 2015/16 How do organisms interact with one another as well as the environment and what is their impact? Line of enquiry one: How do living things reproduce and what effect does that have on other organisms? Intentions for learning AQA schemes of work/specification: REPRODUCTION Explain why sexual reproduction results in variation, but asexual reproduction does not produce variation. Describe sexual reproduction as the joining of male and female gametes. Define the term ‘clone’. Explain how plant cuttings can be grown into new plants. Interpret information about cloning techniques. Make informed judgements about the economic, social and ethical issues concerning cloning. Describe the process of tissue culture in plants. Explain the importance of cloning to plant growers. Describe the process of embryo transplants in animals. Describe the process of adult cell cloning in animals. Explain advantages and disadvantages of cloning techniques. Be able to present arguments for and against human cloning. Define the term ‘genetic engineering’. Describe the process of genetic engineering to produce bacteria that can produce insulin and crops that have desired characteristics. Interpret information about genetic engineering techniques. Make informed judgements about the economic, social and ethical issues concerning genetic engineering. Explain advantages and disadvantages of genetic engineering. ENERGY IN BIOMASS Be able to construct and interpret pyramids of biomass. Describe how energy and mass is transferred along a food chain. Explain why energy and biomass is reduced at successive stages in a food chain. Home Learning Week 1: Pupils to be given a short exam paper consisting of biology, chemistry and physics questions from LC1 & 2. These are marked weekly by the member of staff not on Y10 timetable and handed back the following week. Lesson 1: All organisms need a male and a female to produce offspring Key words: asexual, sexual, reproduction Learning Intentions: Students should develop an understanding that: There are different types of reproduction and each one produces distinct types of offspring Success Criteria: Define the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction Describe the process of sexual reproduction Explain why sexual reproduction results in variation whereas asexual does not. Feedback Focus Knowledge input | Check | Development | REACH | Improvement Details: Self assessed activity in class Lesson 2: You can only clone humans Lesson 3: We need organisms to help make human insulin Lesson 4: Biomass is how much energy there is in an organism Key words: tissue culture, clone, genetically identical Learning Intentions: Students should develop an understanding that: It is possible to create genetically identical organisms for various reasons Key words: genetic engineering, pesticide, herbicide Learning Intentions: Students should develop an understanding that: It is possible to augment the genetic material of organisms so that they can make products useful to humans Key words: biomass, pyramid of biomass, consumer, producer, urea Learning Intentions: Students should develop an understanding of: What biomass is, how it is transferred between organisms and how its levels change through a food chain. Success Criteria: Define the term clone Describe how one could clone plant tissue as well as an adult animal cell Explain why farmers would want to create tissue clones of plants Explain the advantages and disadvantages of cloning techniques Success Criteria: Define the term genetic engineering Describe the process of genetic engineering Using specific examples explain the uses of genetic engineering Success Criteria: Recall how to construct and Interpret pyramids of biomass Describe how energy and mass is transferred along a food chain Explain why energy and biomass reduces at successive stages in a food chain Feedback Focus Knowledge input | Check | Development | REACH | Improvement Details: Extended writing exam question provided and will be tutor marked Knowledge input | Check | Development | REACH | Improvement Details: Act on feedback given by tutor and improve work Feedback Focus Knowledge input | Check | Development | REACH | Improvement Details: Peer marked exam question on slide with rubric provided for pupil-given formative feedback Year 10 CORE Biology | Learning Cycle 3 | Medium Term Plan | Science 2015/16 How do organisms interact with one another as well as the environment and what is their impact? Line of enquiry two: How can animals impact on the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere? Intentions for learning AQA schemes of work/specification: DECAY PROCESS Describe how plants and animals return materials to the environment. Describe the role of microorganisms in decay. Be able to name the type of living organism which causes leaves to decay? Describe factors affecting the rate of decay. Explain how decay is useful to plants. Evaluate the necessity and effectiveness of recycling organic kitchen or garden wastes. Home Learning Week 2: Pupils to be given a short exam paper consisting of biology, chemistry and physics questions from LC1 & 2. These are marked weekly by the member of staff not on Y10 timetable and handed back the following week. Lesson 5: Dead organisms decay on their own Key words: decomposers, detritus feeders Learning Intentions: Students should develop an understanding that: Animals return organic matter to the environment and it is used by other organisms (microorganisms) Success Criteria: Recall the type of living organism that causes leaves to decay Describe the role of microorganisms in decay Describe how plants/animals return materials to the environment THE CARBON CYCLE Explain the carbon cycle in terms of photosynthesis, respiration, feeding, death and decay, combustion of wood and fossil fuels. Explain the role of microorganisms and detritus feeders in decay. Explain why deforestation increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Feedback Focus Knowledge input | Check | Development | REACH | Improvement Details: Self assessed activity in class Lesson 6: Organic matter can decay at different rates Lesson 7: Breathing produces carbon dioxide Lesson 8: Deforestation is a bad thing for the carbon cycle Key words: sewage treatment, compost Learning Intentions: Students should develop an understanding that: The organic matter returned by animals and plants has a use for other organisms Key words: fossil fuels, combustion, respiration, decay Learning Intentions: Students should develop an understanding that: A variety of chemical reactions add carbon dioxide into the environment Key words: photosynthesis, algae Learning Intentions: Students should develop an understanding that: Some chemical reactions can remove carbon dioxide out of the environment Success Criteria: Recall and describe factors that affect rate of decay Explain how decay is useful to plants Evaluate the necessity/effectiveness of recycling organic kitchen matter/garden waste Success Criteria: Recall the equation for photosynthesis and respiration Describe which process add carbon dioxide to the environment Explain the role of microorganisms and detritus feeders in decay Success Criteria: Recall the equation for photosynthesis and respiration Describe which process removes carbon dioxide from the environment Explain why deforestation increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere Feedback Focus Knowledge input | Check | Development | REACH | Improvement Details: Extended writing exam question provided and will be tutor marked Knowledge input | Check | Development | REACH | Improvement Details: Act on feedback given by tutor and improve work Feedback Focus Knowledge input | Check | Development | REACH | Improvement Details: Peer marked exam question on slide with rubric provided for pupil-given formative feedback
