These lesssons are designed for a mid-ability year 10 class studying the AQA GCSE Combined Science curriculum. There are five, full 1-hour lessons from the digestion and enzymes topic which focus on: Labelling the digestive system and describing the function of each digestive organ Method of enzyme action, lock and key theory The effect of temperature and pH on enzymes Food tests (guided practical) The function of bile (neutralising stomach acid, emulsifying lipids) Also included is a knowledge organiser which contains the key information from this topic. This can be used as a visual to support SEND students throughout the topic, or as a revision resource for an end of unit assessment. All of the lesson resources in this bundle contain: A 5-in-5 retrieval-style starter An interesting lesson hook, careers link, or retrieval practice to start the lesson Teacher input slides with dual coding and reduced cognitive load Teacher models Regular ‘check for understanding’ slides, such as hand signals quizzes Regular student independent practice slides, with optional scaffolds, challenges and answer slides A plenary task

A bundle of lessons on the ‘classification and evolution’ topic, from the AQA GCSE Combined Science specification. These lessons were specifically designed for a lower ability year 10 class, but would be suitable for any KS4 group with some minor tweaking. All lessons include: A 5-in-5 retrieval starter A lesson hook and/or additional retrieval practice Very clear direct instruction slides (low cognitive load, dual coding) Checks for understanding (quizzes, hand signals, cold call questions) Teacher modeling Guided discussions Independent tasks with modeled answers Exam questions with mark schemes and/or modeled answers A written plenary

A complete topic, containing six full 1-hour lessons based on the OCR A Biology specification. These lessons cover the unit 2.1.4 Enzymes (not the PAGs, only theory lessons). The lessons should be delivered in this order: Role of enzymes Mechanism of enzyme action Effect of temperature / pH on enzyme activity Effect of substrate concentration on enzyme activity Coenzymes, cofactors and inhibitors End-product-inhibition All of the lesson resources in this bundle contain: A 5-in-5 retrieval-style starter An interesting lesson hook, careers link, or retrieval practice to start the lesson Teacher input slides with dual coding and reduced cognitive load Teacher models Regular ‘check for understanding’ slides, such as hand signals quizzes Regular student independent practice slides, with optional scaffolds, challenges and answer slides A plenary task

A full unit of work from the KS3 Activate ‘reproduction’ topic (from Activate 1), designed for a mixed ability year 7 class. This unit of work contains 10 full hour lessons. These lessons are designed to be engaging and interactive, with frequent use of AFL as well as longer independent tasks. These should be suitable to be delivered by a teacher of any specialism. All answers and given on the slides to independent tasks. The lessons should be delivered in this sequence: Puberty and adolescence Male reproductive system Female reproductive system Fertilisation and implantation Development of a foetus Menstrual cycle Contraception Flowers and pollination Fertilisation and germination (in plants) Seed dispersal Each of my lesson resources contains: A 5-in-5 retrieval-style starter An interesting lesson hook, careers link, or retrieval practice to start the lesson Teacher input slides with dual coding and reduced cognitive load Teacher models Regular ‘check for understanding’ slides, such as hand signals quizzes Regular student independent practice slides, with optional scaffolds, challenges and answer slides A plenary task
