GCSE Biology Topic 5: Homeostasis
During this GCSE Biology Topic 5: Homeostasis lesson, pupils will clarify the concept of homeostasis, provide examples of internal conditions that the body must regulate, and outline how negative feedback loops function.
The slides include extension questions, and students can choose from a variety of different tasks.
This lesson includes:
- Title slide with learning objectives
- A starter activity
- Group reading (literacy)
