This scheme of work is suitable to all abilities and is the complete chemistry CC1-CC2. This includes all practicals and worksheets to deliver the series.
This bundle contains 4 lessons and the SOW map for the topic.
This is aimed at year 6 pupils and is based on the interim assessment framework 2016.
Lesson 1: states of matter
Lesson 2: cooling curves
Lesson 3: dissolving
Lesson 4: filtering
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

Bundle includes Edexcel 9-1 - topic 5.
This is a 10 lesson bundle of Edexcel 9-1 topic 5 Health and Disease lessons. Tracking, differentiation, assessment and AFL are build into the lessons.
Lesson 0 - entry test
Lesson 1 - health
Lesson 2 - communicable disease
Lesson 3 - spread and prevention of disease
Lesson 4a - sexuallty transmitted disease
Lesson 4b - chemical and physical barriers
Lesson 5 - immune response
Lesson 6 - antibiotics
Lesson 7 - non-communicable disease
Lesson 8 - obesity and BMI
Lesson 9 - assessment and revision
These are 'plug and play' lessons designed for ease of application and good to outstanding lessons. I am very pleased with this series of lessons as it has inspired a difficult year 10 cohort and increased motivation in science.
These 12 lessons aim to engage and promote progress in year 9-10 students. From experience and due to the importance of this topic I have broken down some of the topics within the module if they are of high importance as this ensures that learning takes place. The lessons specialise in AFL which is built in at appropriate places.
Here are a few highlights from the Life Processes module.
Included are: parasitism, pyramids of biomass, food webs, the lung and natural selection + a extremely high quality knowledge organiser with differentiation progress questions on the reverse.
This is an outstanding series of lessons aimed at providing the foundation to GCSE 9-1 success. This Mastery style curriculum scaffold learning and includes constant recapping and revising to ensure content and skills are not lost. The scheme includes two short answer assessments with remediation of knowledge, a 'redraft for success' 6 mark question, exit ticket revision.
Admin: Learning Outcomes, Knowledge Organiser part 1 and part 2.
Lesson 1: forces intro,
Lesson 2: contact and non-contact,
lesson 3: 6 mark question feedback,
Lesson 4: testing friction,
Lesson 5: DIRT on friction,
Lesson 6: short answer assessment a revision, Lesson 7: weight and mass
Lesson 8: Magnets.
Lesson 9: Magnetic Fields
Lesson 10: Free body diagrams
Lesson 11: Resultant force
Lesson 12: short answer assessment and revision.
Lesson 13: energy
Lesson 14: chemical energy
Lesson 15: stored energy
Lesson 16: energy transfer
Lesson 17: 6 mark question
Lesson 18 : short answer test and revision
End of unit test
These are not stand alone lesson however a powerful way to secure knowledge for students who are participating in a mastery scheme of work.
Utilising short answer testing is a good way to ensure that the key knowledge is learned if interested pleases read Roediger 2011, it is a really insightful study to the benefits of testing; I now included a short answer assessment of this format approximately every 6 lessons and have been observed teaching this format by an Ofsted inspector who rated the lesson outstanding (not that we do that anymore).
Lesson 5 consists of the dedicated improvement and reflection time (DIRT) from the previous lesson, this is followed by a review of the RAGed learning outcomes using the knowledge organiser to guide their revision. The lesson concludes by the student attempting a 15 mark short answer assessment with a structured self assessed feedback template.
Lesson 6 starts by looking at ways to revise and allows the teacher to model how to revise. The lesson then moves on the students trying to revise themselves before resitting a very similar test to demonstrate to the pupils that they can make progress by revising. The lesson concludes with a self assessment.
This bundle is made up of good to outstanding lessons with in-built AFL and differentiation. CB4 is an Edexcel topic focusing on evolution and genetic modification.

Here are my 5 top selling resources in one discounted purchase.
1. Microscope technology is my best selling resource and focuses on the awe and wonder of microbiology by focusing on the species Demodex.
2. Magnification and scale is a highly differentiated lesson to compensate for students variation in mathematical ability, the lesson utilises hinge point questions to direct learning.
3. Osmosis and diffusion is a lesson that tackles difficult concepts in 3 chunks to make it achievable
4. Ofsted rated outstanding on plant and animal cells is a lesson that I was observed by a lead Ofsted inspector during a 'mocksted' . This was very well received and employs a unique remediation technique which encompasses a student led feedback.
5. Enzyme theory prior to core practical is a vital lesson in preparation for the students to sit one of their eight GCSE biology core practicals.
Lesson 1: Health and disease - defines WHO definition of health.
Lesson 2: Communicable disease- what spreading disease is.
Lesson 3: Spread of disease - reviews the four ways most diseases are spread.
Lesson 4: STI - what STIs are and how they are prevented.
Waves and Electricity is a scheme of work for year 8-9, it is engineered from the Edexcel 2016 GCSE therefore the spec points a prerequisites for start the GCSE. Lessons are highly differentiated and aimed for high ability to low ability. Much AFL is embedded with in the scheme, this includes hinge questions, short answer assessment an redraft for success.
There is a sample of the work on the free downloads. type ' lesson 8 frequency calculations'
Admin: this includes an exit ticket tracker, learning outcomes, and knowledge organiser.
Lesson 0 - is an entry test to establish what is already understood by the students.
Edexcel Biology GCSE 2016: This is the whole of topic one 'overarching concepts in biology' this is a module that features in both paper one and paper two.
Save yourself 25-30 hours of work! Teaching, Testing, Tracking all in this one purchase.
**lesson 11 is available on my free resources
The new Edexcel GCSE Biology paper comprises of two assessment papers, paper 1 and 2. Topic one 'Over arching concept in biology' is included as a prerequisite in both papers 1 and 2. This is ideal for year 9 and 10 to lay the foundation of biological knowledge.
The 15 lessons included in the purchase are highly differentiated to cover all but the lowest SEN sets as well as pushing the higher attaining students via the purple high level questions. The Scheme of Work is build around hinge point question which lead to different activities so each student will receive a bespoke learning experience over the course of Topic One. Included in to support the 15 lessons is a assessment pack, this includes higher and foundation end of topic 60 mark exams, exit ticket tracker, tracking sheets, short answer test and key knowledge organisers. Whether purchasing to reduce your workload and improve the standard of lesson or looking at investing in an affordable high quality scheme for your department this set of lessons is a must have for any aspiring or currently outstanding teachers.
