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.

The lesson starts with a short recall quiz before introducing the idea of the heart via and independent research task. After this it is a good opportunity to do a dissection and get the students to annotate on the heart print out the key component of the heart. The lesson then moves to calculate stroke volume and do some graph interpretation of that.

This is just the Learning outcome sheet to the edexcel module CB8. The learning outcome sheet has space to RAG the learning outcomes, log the exit ticket score from the lessons and has a QR code to scan and complete further revision.

The lesson starts by matching the keywords to the images. The lesson then moves to review the examples of the evolution of giraffes linking each stage to the exam specification. The students then rate their confidence and move on to differentiated storyboard tasks looking at the evolution of the woolly mammoth. The lesson finishes with a 6 mark question with a mark scheme so the students can self-assess their answers.

The lesson is specific the new Edexcel 9-1 GCSE and part of topic 5. The lesson starts by discussing the process of pathogens entering the body and the response by the lymphocytes, this is does over 6 slides with fun animations and covers the required learning outcome. There is a brief discussion of vaccination before learning is assessed via a 'deep' hinge point question. There are two activities that, depending on students understanding can be done from this and an extension task. The lesson finishes with an exam question and reflection in the Learning Outcomes sheet.

The lesson starts by establishing a definition of GMO. It then moves on to reviewing a couple of videos with guided questions to promote thinking. The lesson looks to engage student in a paired research project in the exam board specific species before posing an exam question. This lesson is fine and will cover the learning outcomes however I do not believe it is worth buying, hence is listed for free.

Core practical for Biology topic one

The lesson is a well constructed and differentiated lesson intended for the new Edexcel 9-1 GCSE. The lesson starts with a comparison between apes, humans and pre-humans before introducing the idea of fossilisation. There are then a couple of videos showing great apes acting in a human fashion. Students then complete a research task making a time line of human evolution. Learning is assessed before there are two differentiated worksheets to best cater for the level of need. The lesson concludes with a GCSE exam question.

The lesson starts by looking the selective breeding of the pug before a video clip looking at the selection and breeding of cows. Student then make comparisons between brassicas and the common ancestor. Student answer question based on the plant example and then show off their understanding via a worksheet with HOTS extension task. The lesson concludes with an exam question.

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 lessons introduced the lock and key model before getting students to investigate a solutions in a problem based learning way. The students then have the opportunity to attempt a differentiated work sheet based on their confidence.

The lesson looks at interdependence between organisms. This is done by looking at food chains, food webs and key language associated with this wordy topic. The lesson concludes with an exam question and model answer.

This lesson starts with a assessment before directing the students to different tasks depending on understanding. This is not a stand alone lessons and should be purchased with my other CB4 resources: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/cb4-learning-outcome-sheet-exit-ticket-tracker-and-5-lessons-11420893 The lesson does require the Edexcel text books

Very simple lesson with the aim of introducing the students to quadrat sampling and the calculation for working out population density.

Here are the learning outcomes, I have broken them up into more manageable sections. There is also an entry test to assess baseline knowledge. This is not a resource to purchase alone but as a bundle.

The tasks involves looking at a step by step to eutrophication. The main focus of the lesson is to get the students to answer and improve a 6 mark question.

Very big lesson (I ran it over two hour with year 10). The lesson start but looking at the definition of a parasite via a couple of videos. There is then a hinge point question that leads into a mini SOLO task. This is followed by an exam question and model answer to discus the marks and key points. The task then turns to mutualist looking at the species that are recommended on the exam spec. The lesson finishes with an exam q.

The lesson start by looking at non-indigenous species and how the influence a food web. The next task looks at fish farming (inline with exam spec) and the ecological problems associated with fish farming. The lesson concluded with an exam question.

The lesson looks at endangered species and moves to discuss deforestation. Students then have to design their own ecosystem before there understanding is demonstrated with work sheet. The lesson concludes with an exam question.

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.
