GCSE Biology Topic 5: Correcting Vision Defects
In this GCSE Biology Topic 5: Correcting Vision Defects lesson pupils will describe how we focus on near and far objects. They will explain why some people are long-sighted or short-sighted, and describe treatments for vision defects. The slides include extension questions, and students can choose from a variety of different tasks.

Next Lesson: Body Temperature
Pupils explain why the body must maintain a constant temperature. Describe how the body regulates its temperature and explain the meaning of “antagonistic effectors”. Finally they will relate this to what they have learned about homeostasis, negative feedback and the nervous system to reinforce their topic vocabulary.
