We have started using this technique in our science department to allow students to highlight areas where they make mistakes. This could be due to misreading questions; not understanding the material; not understanding the questions; calculation questions or not using correct terminology. Once our students were aware of where the mistakes were being made, we gave them focused targets and it has helped improve their performance.

2 complete lessons covering the events which lead to the formation of a blood clot and how atherosclerosis occurs. Edexcel IAL spec link - 1.10 and 1.11 There is an excel video included in the ppt. There are many opportunities for assessment in the power points and an exam question for each lesson.

This series of lessons covers: The basic principles of cellular respiration The importance of cellular respiration in the production of ATP The site of glycolysis, krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation The main stages of glycolysis, Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Anaerobic respiration Respiratory substrates and respiratory quotient. Each power point is a complete lesson which includes activities and exam style questions to check understanding.

A level biology lesson exploring how a changing climate can lead to the evolution of a species. Learning outcomes Understand how evolution can come about through gene mutations and natural selection Understand how isolation reduces gene flow between populations, leading to allopatric or sympatric speciation This is a complete lesson which includes individual and group tasks for students. There are also exam questions to check understanding.

5 complete lessons with a variety of tasks which explores the structure of cells. Lesson 1 - Observing cells explores different microscopes available to observe cells and discusses the terms resolution and magnification. It also focuses on staining of cells. Lesson 2 - Eukaryotic cells - discover the organelles inside eukaryotic cells and their function within the cell Lesson 3 - Protein transport and the role of RER and Golgi apparatus Lesson 4 - Prokaryotic cells and the organelles present. Gram staining is also looked at. Lesson 5 - organisation of cells, tissues and organs. Lesson 6 - Core Practical 5 Using a graticule The lessons have a range of activities including video resources. Would make a useful tool for home study.

2 complete lessons focusing on understanding the role meiosis plays in creating gametes. It focuses on independent assortment and crossing-over. Students have an opportunity to study each phase to compare meiosis to mitosis. The second lesson studies the adaptation of gametes in both plants and animals. This will lead onto sexual reproduction in subsequent lessons.

A classroom or home learning activity. Students can use digital devices/mobiles to find the answer to clues but to also learn the process of meiosis. There are tasks which can be completed in exercise books, building up a knowledge of the process and comparing it with mitosis. Activity takes approximately 45 minutes.

Section 2: Marine Ecosystems and Biodiversity Complete lessons covering the following points: The meaning of the terms: ecosystem, habitat, population, community, species, biodiversity and ecological niche Describing interrelationships within marine ecosystems to include mutualism and parasitism explain the meaning of the term: producer, comsumer, predator, prey and trophic level in context of food chains and food webs explain how populations of predator and prey may be interrelated Each powerpoint has talking points, small activities for students (individually or in pairs), video resources and exam questions. I have also used these for students studying at home.

A task which is suitable for students in class but also during home schooling. It covers GCSE/IGCSE Photosynthesis specification looking at: photosynthesis equation limiting factors structure of the leaf mineral ions photosynthesis practicals The task is set as a spy mission. Students are directed to different websites which included images, videos and information. Students collect the information and use to complete a mission grid which helps them crack the code. In total there are 15 clues, building up their knowledge of photosynthesis. The PPT includes an answer sheet (remove from powerpoint before sharing with students!) My students loved this activity and it gave them a good introduction to photosynthesis.

My students often are overwhelmed with the thought of preparing for their mock and IGCSE exams. I have reduced the specification to simple points to enable the students to produce notes on each section. To start with, they read through the statements and traffic-light colour code each section to determine areas they really need to focus on. I advise they work through each point, producing summarised notes to support their learning. I have included a QR code to scan which leads to a page describing each specification point. The majority are in note form but there a few videos for trickier topics. Students can successfully build up a series of revision notes and feel confident with their understanding of the course.

2 lessons focusing on: the effect of water temperature, water pressure (depth), atmospheric pressure and salinity on the solubility of gases in water the implications this has for marine organisms A range of resources including videos, research task, presentations and exam questions.

A series of three lessons which focuses on A level content from Edexcel Specification but can be applied to other specifications. Content includes Understanding what a chromatid is and how it forms The cell cycle and what occurs at each stage Control of the cell cycle The stages of mitosis Cytokinesis Cell division in both animal and plant cells Mitotic index

2 complete lessons introducing enthalpy changes. By the end of the lesson students should: Know that enthalpy is the heat change measured at a constant pressure and state the standard conditions Be able to define what we mean by standard enthalpy of a reaction Be able to construct and interpret enthalpy level diagrams showing an energy change Lesson includes discussion points and questions to check understanding.

A level Formative Assessment Tasks The assessment tasks have been created to support the Edexcel A level and International A level courses but can be adapted to support other examination boards. Each assessment starts with a brief introduction to engage the student. Students use their knowledge of the topic to complete the task. The task includes a guidance of what should be included and an indication to the grade associated with the knowledge, based on level of complexity. The resources are great to summarise a topic and can be completed in class or as a homework. Students can use their notes and books for support but the tasks should be answered in their own words to show understanding. I have found that these tasks: • Engage students and promote active learning. • They help students develop their course notes and prepare their revision. • Enables students of all abilities to progress and gives the teacher a way to access knowledge and understanding. • Enables misconceptions to be addressed. • Promotes the use of key scientific vocabulary to support answering examination questions. How to assess the task: Teacher assessed If the teacher is grading, I suggest taking a general approach. If students have attempted each section and the science is correct, I award the higher mark from the section. If not all the information is present or if not all of it is correct, award the lower grade from the section. Student assessed Students gain a lot from marking their own assessment or their peer´s. They should be able to justify the grade awarded. This can help develop appropriate feedback.
