CB2 Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: lesson 1 -5 - Stem cells, neurons, reflex arc, cancer, percentile charts
Five lessons that focus on topic two of the new Edexcel Biology 9-1 GCSE spec.
Biology - Microscope technology (Light vs electron)
This is a whole lesson including tasks and presentation.
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).
There is a focus on a creature called Demodex, a parasite that lives in 17% of the populations skin pores. The lesson stresses the differences an advantages and disadvantages of light vs electron microscopes.
The lesson features a hinge question to determine students ability which leads into a Cloze activity for lower ability students or an open ended research task for the higher ability.
Variation - Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: Topic 3, lesson 7 Variation
The lesson provides a definition of continuous and discontinuous variation, the students then apply their gained knowledge to a variety of graphs to identify different variation. Inbuilt into the lesson is a hinge point question, this is a string AFL device that directs learning to a distinct differentiated task. The students get an explanation with various examples of environmental and inherited variation. They then get the opportunity to show off their knowledge with two outcome differentiated worksheets. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Genetic inheritence - Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: Topic 3, lesson 5 Genetic inheritence
Topic three lesson five focuses on inheritance. The lesson starts with a key word association. The lesson moves onto look at the most basic variation, male or female, and gives the students the opportunity to make their own observations of a punnet square. The learning journey then looks at cystic fibrosis as a case study to inheritance; both the symptoms and prognosis are discussed. Students then look at pedigree analysis and answer questions regarding it. The main demonstrate activity is differentiated and led by a hinge point question, the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Digestive enzymes- problem based learning
Enzymes higher level lesson based around nutrition (written by Nutrition major)
The lesson start with a key word match up to overcome difficulties in language. This is followed by a video with questions to provide an active watch for the students.
The lesson assesses learning via a hinge point question and the students move on to attempt a differentiated task. The task looks at various illnesses induced by enzyme deficiency, there are corresponding question to assess the understanding.
The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

CB5 - Health and Disease - Edexcel 2016 (assessment, tracking and lessons)
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.
Communicable diseases - independent activity and exam question
The lesson starts with a gcse biology question looking at the prevalence of TB and HIV.
The learning outcomes are then reviewed before the students attempt an independent research task looking at five communicable diseases and answering questions that lead to an understanding of the learning outcome.
Their understanding is assessed by matching question and answer card sort, included were in the download, there is a higher order question two push the top end of students. The lesson concludes with a 10 mark exam question which students record in an exit ticket tracker and rank their learning outcomes.
There is a model answer to the ten mark exam question included to ensure consistency for the students.
STI and prevention - Lesson to inspire and inform the most in need of education.
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.
CB5f - Chemical and Physical barriers - Edexcel 9-1 - Topic 5: Lesson 4b
Lesson 4b is the follow on for lesson 4. The lesson is written inline with the specification points for Topic 5 Edexcel 9-1 new GCSE.
The lesson starts with a differentiated started where the students work up a pyramid of tasks. The information is presented of the methods the body has to defend itself from pathogens before a hinge question assesses understanding of the topic an directs the students to an appropriate task. The lesson finishes with an exam question that can be recorded in the learning outcome tracker.
Free body diagrams - Lesson 10: Forces and Energy
The lesson starts by recapping what a force diagram is before looking at examples of force diagrams. There is the a active watch video with HOTS questions to answer. The understanding is assessed via a mini-whiteboard identification of forces. The lesson further assesses understanding with a hinge question an this leads a differentiated activity on force diagrams. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
The importance of Modelling for students.
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.
CC16-17 revision booklet
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.
CB5 Revision booklet
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.
CB7a - Hormones. Edexcel 9-1
The lesson starts with recall questions and then moves on to a thinking for learn activity. Students then watch a video and answer some questions based on the video before summerising their understanding. The students then do an exam style question before an exit ticket. I think the resource is good an will promote good learning however it is not as detailed as many of my other lessons so I have listed it for free..... enjoy.
