Topic three lesson four focuses on Alleles. The lesson starts with a review of previous learning. The lesson moves onto an independent research task to help embed meta-cognitive regulation, this is the discussed via teacher and slides to ensure pupils have understood. Understanding is assessed via a hinge point question and a bronze (mini lesson), silver (structured task) or gold task (structured open) is allocated to evidence differentiation and give the students the most appropriate task. students then get to see and exam question which is modelled on the board before the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

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.
