GCSE Sci/Bio: Key Concepts Tutoring Plan

7 (+1) 1 hour lesson plans designed for tutors and home-schoolers under the Edexcel GCSE Combined Science and Edexcel GCSE Biology Specifications. Filled with engaging activities, extension activities, homework ideas, clear bullet points of what needs to be taught, concise language and an easy-to-follow structure with timings, this is the ideal time-saving and therefore money-saving resource for tutors. The lessons included are:

1. Cells
2. Microscopes
3. Enzyme Activity
4. Enzyme Required Practical and Exam Questions
5. Cell Membrane
6. Osmosis Practical
7. (GCSE Biology Only) Food Tests

It is also suggested to have an 8th lesson where students come to you with particular questions they have, or work they’ve found difficult through the evaluations and homework throughout.

The resource contains a clear layout of plans for teachers to follow, including timings as well as all the activities needed for the lesson. It does not require access to a whiteboard or PowerPoint, and can be used virtually or in person. Each lesson finishes with an evaluation to help students measure their progress against clear Learning Objectives, Success Criteria and Misconceptions along with extension opportunities to encourage scientific curiosity. Activities included range from fun starters such as crosswords and quizzes to application, practical and exam questions to stretch students.

The pricing of this resource comes to about £3.50 per lesson, which is not only a very cheap price for the extensiveness of resources provided, but also will help tutors make more money by allowing them to take on more pupils without having to worry about lesson planning, and by improving the quality of the tutoring.
