Appendix B – Milestone example Unit of Work Biology-Unit 2 Photosynthesis What we are aiming to achieve How plants special adaptations help them survive and get what they need from the environment. Factors affecting photosynthesis. How water supplied to a plant is affected by the environment. Milestones (the stepping stones to success) Milestone 1 Milestone 2 Milestone 3 Milestone 4 Skill Milestone 1 Assessment Criteria F Low Use the word equation to describe photosynthesis Know chloroplasts absorb and convert it to chemical energy Understand that photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction Understand that plants respire and photosynthesise Name factors that affect photosynthesis Identify the parts of leaf and their function. Know the definition of diffusion. Describe how water travels in plants. Describe experiments on the rate of transpiration. Recall the movement of sugars is called translocation. Middle Recall and use the symbol equation for photosynthesis. Describe the use of light and chloroplasts in photosynthesis Explain why plants carry out respiration. Describe how the rate of photosynthesis can be increased. Describe how leaves are adapted for photosynthesis Explain diffusion using the idea of particles. Describe adaptations in and phloem. Describe the factors that affect transpiration. Describe how proteins and carbohydrates are transported in plants. High Recall and use the balanced symbol equation for photo synthesis. Explain that chloroplasts absorb energy to drive chemical reactions. Describe the difference in gas exchange in plants during the day and night. Explain the effects of limiting factors on photosynthesis. Explain how the leaf’s structure is adapted for photosynthesis. Explain how substances pass in and out of cells. Explain adaptations in and phloem. Explain the factors that affect transpiration. Explain how concentration gradients affect processes.
