This was a CPD session on the importance of modelling for the students. The presentation focuses on a case study that I ran over three lessons using model answers rather than personalised feedback. The CPD session also includes the evidence for it.

The resource is a spreadsheet containing topic CB1- CB9 quick quiz questions. There are 550 questions, use the drop down to select for topics. This is a resource to promote the recall of knowledge for the new tough linear exam. I use this when planning for starters and plenaries. If you think of any other innovative ways to use please let me know.

This is a revision resource that encourages independence and learning of key outcomes. This would take a couple of lessons to complete as there are multiple tasks to improve understanding.

The lesson looks at the development of the modern periodic table, this includes the story of Mendeleev. It helps if you have access to the edexcel textbooks as the copy of the page is not of good quality.

Electricity This mini scheme of work builds through the basics need for students preparing for GCSE science. It starts very basic with building series and parallel circuits and builds up to looking at currents and electron flow, topics necessary for the new 2017 GCSE. Lesson 1: Drawing and building simple circuits Lesson 2: Comparing series and parallel circuits Lesson 3: Comparing current and voltage Lesson 4: Experimenting to see how current flows Lesson 5: Conduction in different materials Lesson 6: Demonstrating learning with a team building challenge This resources has had over 12000 downloads on TES resources and rated 5*.

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 lesson pushes the basics of enzyme activity (denaturing, optimum pH, temperature, substrate concentration) It leads to a differentiated activity to help understanding for mid and high ability. The lesson concludes with an annotated exam question from the 2017 GCSE How Science Works questions. There is an exit tick plenary.

This a core concept for Edexcel 9-1 GCSE physics. This lesson is aimed at year 8-9 however could be made course specific. The lesson starts be acting on any feedback from the previous lesson before establishing the learning outcomes for the lesson. The teacher demonstrate the limit of proportionality with the spring and masses, there is space on the ppt for the results to be recorded and a graph drawn showing the elastic limit. students then rank their confidence before selecting a differentiated gold or silver task. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

The lesson start by engaging the students with a guess the LQ activity. The students then are guided through producing a mind-map of the spread and prevention of the exam spec diseases before they attempt a 6 mark question. As a class they review the mark scheme self assess their own work and redraft to perfect there answer.

The lesson is of vital importance to young adults as it make students aware of the risk of unprotected sex. The do it now activity is a image to inspire disgust and conversation around the topic. There is a short video clip and some active watch questions to inspire conversation. The lesson them moves to looking a facts of 7 STIs and ranking them in an arrowhead 7. There is a brief look on the prevention of the contraction of the disease and then students attempt a exam style HSW worksheet; there is an extension built into the worksheet.

The lesson is specific the new Edexcel 9-1 GCSE and part of topic 5. The lesson reviews a couple of extreme examples of obesity ad obesity surgery with differentiated questions to ensure the students stay focused. They then review BMI and the problems with it as a measure of obesity. There is a brief discussion of smoking before the student answer a Hinge point question to direct learning to different tasks on a worksheet. The lesson concludes with an exam question.

The lesson is specific the new Edexcel 9-1 GCSE and part of topic 5. The lesson starts with a review of the previous learning. Before a circus of information gathering, comprising of 4 tasks to help the students take ownership of their learning. The students the attempt a worksheet with an extension task built in to the lessons. The students finish the lesson with an exam question.

Revision timetable and resource bank. To use: print and give to the students, put it up in the lab, send it home to parents or publish as an electric copy. QR codes and hyperlinked topic titles take the students to a revision resource (mostly BBC Bitesize), on most days there is a key diagram and a selection of subtopics to revise. This resource is designed to chunk the challenge of revision, giving students two months to revise every topic required for the mock exam that Edexcel are using to calibrate results. The calendar starts on the first of March and goes up until two days before the first exam. Revising is a vital skill that many teachers neglect to teach their pupils. Most students struggle to plan their revision and rely on pre-exam cramming, as these students will not sit their final exam this year we need to ensure we help them retain the information. Spreading it out like this makes it an achievable challenge and will help them with long-term retention.

This is a revision resource that covers CB1a microscopes. The resource looks at comparing electrons and light microscopes, magnification and image size. There are short quizzes that summerise the learning and a worksheet and exam question to review the topic.

This is a resource that looks at bacteria, plant and animal cells. It requires a textbook (preferably the combined science 9-1). This is a really simple lesson that looks at defining and comparing the different cells before completing a worksheet to summerising the learning. This is best purchases as part of my series of revision lessons.

The lessons starts by a quick review of the factors that affect enzyme activity before a exam style questions on enzymes. This is not a stand alone resource and best used with the revision collection.

The lesson starts by looking at predator prey relationships, this develops into some graph analysis. The next task looks at biotic factors ad how the change food webs. There is then a 10 mark quiz, an outcome differentiated worksheet and an exam Q to finish.
