Deep Dive in IBDP Biology: B.3.2 Transport Teacher Resource Pack

IBDP Resources for Teaching B.3.2 Transport in Animals and Plants

In the IBDP Biology curriculum, Topic B.3.2: Transport offers students a window into the lifeline systems that support multicellular life. From the intricacies of vascular tissues in plants to the complexities of human circulation, understanding transport systems is essential to mastering biology.

To support educators, we’ve curated a robust, engaging, and curriculum-aligned suite of B.3.2 Transport resources. This comprehensive bundle includes bell ringers, exit tickets, quizzes, Paper 1A practice, simulations, and comparison projects—perfectly suited to facilitate inquiry, reinforce key concepts, and elevate exam readiness.

🧠 Section 1: Daily Thinking Tools – Bell Ringers & Exit Tickets

✏️ B.3.2 Transport Bell Ringers

These short, high-impact prompts are designed to jump-start lessons with critical thinking and real-world relevance. Each bell ringer directly targets a subtopic in the IBDP Biology guide, such as:

• Capillary adaptations for material exchange (B.3.2.1)

• Arterial structure for high-pressure transport (B.3.2.3)

• Vein adaptations and valves (B.3.2.5)

• Xylem and phloem structure and function (B.3.2.8, B.3.2.18)

• Lymphatic system and tissue fluid (B.3.2.13)

With each activity, students build vocabulary, analyze diagrams, and respond to guiding questions that deepen understanding.

🧾 B.3.2 Transport Exit Tickets

Wrap up lessons with reflection-based exit tickets aligned to formative assessment goals. These exit slips ask students to:

• Explain the effects of coronary artery occlusion (B.3.2.6)

• Reflect on root pressure and xylem transport in different environments (B.3.2.17)

• Compare double vs. single circulation (B.3.2.14)

• Evaluate how companion cells enable phloem translocation (B.3.2.18)

These quick assessments help you check for comprehension and foster metacognitive skills.

🔬 Section 2: Bring Concepts to Life – Interactive Labs and Comparative Models

🧪 Investigating the Effects of Blocked Transport Systems

This hands-on simulation explores what happens when transport systems fail. Students investigate:

• Blocked coronary arteries and their impact on heart tissue (B.3.2.6)

• Xylem blockages and the consequences for water transport and root pressure (B.3.2.17)

• Capillary dysfunction and its effect on tissue fluid and nutrient exchange (B.3.2.11–12)

By simulating blockages in both plant and animal systems, students grasp how critical transport pathways are for survival—and how their disruption leads to disease and dysfunction.

🌱 Comparative Transport Systems: Animals vs. Plants

This creative poster project bridges the gap between animal and plant physiology. Students explore and illustrate:

• Capillary exchange vs. xylem water transport (B.3.2.1, B.3.2.7)

• Circulatory system vs. phloem translocation (B.3.2.14, B.3.2.18)

• Single vs. double circulation (B.3.2.14)

This activity strengthens cross-topic understanding and encourages collaboration, making it ideal for formative projects or internal assessment preparation.

📝 Section 3: Assess Understanding with IBDP-Style Practice

📄 B.3.2 Transport Multiple-Choice Quiz + Paper 1A Practice (with ANSWERS)

Evaluate students’ knowledge with expertly crafted assessments modeled after Paper 1. Topics include:

• Structure and adaptations of capillaries, arteries, and veins

• Mechanisms of transpiration and root pressure

• Role of companion cells and sieve tubes in phloem transport

• Cardiac cycle, heart anatomy, and coronary circulation

atures:

• Realistic IB-style multiple-choice questions

• Answer keys for instant feedback and revision

• Clear explanations for self-assessment or peer grading

These assessments help students build exam confidence while reinforcing core content.
