This is a fully-resourced lesson which uses exam-style questions, quiz competitions, quick tasks and discussion points to challenge students on their understanding of topics B1 - B5, that will assessed on PAPER 1. It has been specifically designed for students on the Pearson Edexcel GCSE Combined Science course who will be taking the FOUNDATION TIER examinations but is also suitable for students taking the higher tier who need to ensure that the fundamentals are known and understood.
The lesson has been written to take place at the local hospital where the students have to visit numerous wards and clinics and the on-site pharmacy so that the following sub-topics can be covered:
- Cancer as the result of uncontrolled cell division
- The production of gametes by meiosis
- Mitosis and the cell cycle
- Sex determination
- The difference between communicable and non-communicable diseases
- The pathogens that spread communicable diseases
- Identification of communicable diseases
- Treating bacterial infections with antibiotics
- Evolution of antibiotic resistance in bacteria
- Vaccinations
- Genetic terminology
- Genetic diagrams
- Structures involved in a nervous reaction
- A Reflex arc
- Risk factors
- Chemical and physical defences
- Osmosis and percentage gain and loss
- Fossils as evidence for human evolution
In order to maintain challenge whilst ensuring that all abilities can access the questions, the majority of the tasks have been differentiated and students can ask for assistance sheets when they are unable to begin a question. Step-by-step guides have also been written into the lesson to walk students through some of the more difficult concepts such as genetic diagrams and evolution by natural selection.
Due to the extensiveness of this revision lesson, it is estimated that it will take in excess of 3 teaching hours to complete the tasks and therefore this can be used at different points throughout the duration of the course as well as acting as a final revision before the PAPER 1 exam.
