CB9 Edexcel: Lesson 5 - core practical belt transects
The lesson covers the core practical spec points for how to use a belt transect. This lesson is very simple and best purchased as a bundle.
Gene Mutation - Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: Topic 3, lesson 6 Gene mutation
Topic three lesson six focuses on mutations. The lesson starts by reviewing the previous learning on punnet squares. The lesson them looks at addition, substitution and deletion before some awe and wonder images of mutations in humans and animals. The students then have the human genome project briefly explained before a short practical activity and then a high level comprehension on albinism and eye colour. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
CB1h - revision - transporting substances
The lesson starts by establishing what exam success looks like before an independent learning opportunity in which student research questions based on the hand-out slides (in the ppt). The lesson finishes with an exam question and markscheme.
This lesson is aimed at promoting independence and assumes the students have already covered the content.

Stem cell - Edexcel 9-1 New Edexcel GCSE - Cells and Control: Lesson 5 - stem cell theory and ethics
Cells and Control.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic two of the new GCSE (to be sat in 2017).
The lesson start by looking the theory of stem cells. This is assessed by a hinge point question followed by an extended differentiated task. The second part of the lesson looks at the ethics and difficulties of stem cells. This is build around a silent debate. Both the first and second lesson conclude with an exit ticket.
CB4 Edexcel 9-1- Entry test and unit introduction - Lesson 0
This is the entry test to CB4. The purpose of this is to assess baseline knowledge and then where students are weakest and have the least understanding the have a KS3 level introduction to the topic e.g. CB4b - Darwin's theory. The entry test bookmarks progress for the module.
CB4a-d: feedback and revision.
This lesson looks a reviewing the understanding of the students, where understanding is weak the students are directed to a customised resource with some introduction and demonstrate activity. if students have a good understanding of all areas there is an extension task of exam questions.
Topic reviewed:
CB4a: human evolution
CB4b: Darwin's theory
CB4c: classification
CB4d: selective breeding
** This is not a stand alone resource but should be purchased with ScienceMastery's other CB4 resources.
CB4e 9-1 - The advantages and disadvantages of genetic modification
The lesson starts by a summary activity of GMO before the student watch two clips of the pros and cons of GMO. The lesson evolves into a carousel style information gathering task which encourages independence and curiosity. The understanding is assessed via a hinge point question that directs the students to a differentiated worksheet. The lesson is concluded with an exam question.
Bundle
CB8 Exchange and transport in animals Edexcel 9-1: SA:V, heart, lungs, diffusion and respiration
CB8 is a paper two topic and these lessons require some dissections.
Edexcel GCSE: Lesson 13- Calorimetry
Over arching concepts in biology.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic one of the new GCSE (to be sat in 2017).
This is a practical lesson looking at how the energy in food can be measured. The lesson focuses on the different between the energy density in developed vs developing countries. The lesson concludes with a 6 mark GCSE question that can be teacher of peer assessed. There is an exit ticket on the end of the lesson.
CB1c Edexcel 9-1: cell specialisation
Over arching concepts in biology.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic one of the new GCSE (to be sat in 2017).
The lesson starts with a presentation focus to ensure the students show pride in their work. It then moves in to introduce the main cells of the lesson: cilliated epithelial, sperm and egg. After a brief introduction to these there is a ten minute Kagan activity where students can gather information about the cell before sharing with their group. This rolls into a true or false hinge point question to direct learning via differentiated association squares. The learners solidify their understanding with a Cloze activity before finishing with an exit ticket
New Edexcel GCSE - Cells and Control: Lesson 22- neurones
Cells and Control.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic two of the new GCSE (to be sat in 2017).
The lesson focusses around a carousel based information gathering task, within the 4 stations there are levels of differentiation. The level of learning is assessed via a hinge question, this leads into an extension or consolidation activity. This activity is followed by a 6 mark GCSE question which is self assessed with a mark scheme. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Life Processes Lesson 9- Food webs
The lesson is based on Edexcel 2016 GCSE content and is vital that the younger year have an appreciation of GCSE requirements. This is a KS3 resource that can be adapted for GCSE.
The Do it now task assesses prior learning about food chains and energy transfer. The lesson then goes on to get the students to think, pair, share their ideas of how to make a food chain. There is a hinge point question to direct learning and then the students then attempt a food web with a series of animals. The student can then rate their confidence and choose either a gold or silver task with a food web differentiated question. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Life Processes Lesson 10- Pyramids of biomass
The lesson is based on the new 2016 Edexcel GCSE and has been made accessible for those in KS3.
The lesson starts by reviewing two clips of different predator- prey scenarios. There are different levels of questions for the students to attempt. The lesson evolves to describing what pyramids of biomass are before the students attempt some for themselves. The students then attempt a GCSE question and mark-scheme to help them if the get stuck. It concludes with an exit ticket.

CB1 - Edexcel Biology topic 1: outstanding series of lessons
Bundle consists of 15 lessons on topic one of the new GCSE.
Biology - Magnification and scale - Lesson 8
Whole lesson including presentation and tasks.
Over arching concepts in biology.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic one Biology.
The lesson is a maths for biology focused lesson which involved a series of calculations for magnification (3 levels of differentiation) followed by a hinge point question leading into a series of calculations on scale and perceived size. The demonstrate activity is a student choice of difficulty to solve a biological problem. The lesson concluded with an exit ticket.
Biology: Natural selection made fun and engaging.
This lesson is designed to bring the fun back into a potentially dry subject. The lesson uses worms (sweets) to demonstrate how harmful and beneficial mutations alter the chances of reproduction. The lesson includes several thinking for learning activities. The lesson starts with a key word match up and finishes with an exit ticket to conclude learning.
