Life Processes Lesson 16- the Lung
This lesson is intended for KS3 and focuses on the structure not the function of the lung. The lesson start by discussing some of the key terms for the lung before a safety and risk focused demo dissection. There is then an AFL opportunity via a deep hinge point question; there are 3 differentiated activities that come of this depending on the students understanding. The lesson concludes with a image based exit ticket.
Life Processes Lesson 11- Parasitism
Parasitism in a key concept in the GCSE 2016 and there for it is important to cover it early, this is a KS3 lesson with GCSE content, it could be easily adapted.
The lesson start with a highly engaging awe and wonder starter, this includes questions to maintain focus. The lesson then moves into an independent learning opportunity led by a hinge point question to decide the starting point for this independent task. The lesson then provides the opportunity for the pupils to demonstrate the learning via modelling a 6 mark question. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Knowledge Organisers for Biology Life Processes
These Knowledge organisers provide the basic knowledge for the topic including diagrams and key words. On the reverse of this there are some basic question and some higher order question to stretch the students.

Life Processes Biology - 5 lessons + knowledge organiser
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.
Life Processes Lesson 9- Food webs
The lesson is based on Edexcel 2016 GCSE content and is vital that the younger year have an appreciation of GCSE requirements. This is a KS3 resource that can be adapted for GCSE.
The Do it now task assesses prior learning about food chains and energy transfer. The lesson then goes on to get the students to think, pair, share their ideas of how to make a food chain. There is a hinge point question to direct learning and then the students then attempt a food web with a series of animals. The student can then rate their confidence and choose either a gold or silver task with a food web differentiated question. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Biology: Natural selection made fun and engaging.
This lesson is designed to bring the fun back into a potentially dry subject. The lesson uses worms (sweets) to demonstrate how harmful and beneficial mutations alter the chances of reproduction. The lesson includes several thinking for learning activities. The lesson starts with a key word match up and finishes with an exit ticket to conclude learning.

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.
Biology - Microscope technology (Light vs electron microscopes)
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 module.
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.
Alleles - Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: Topic 3, lesson 4 Alleles
Topic three lesson four focuses on Alleles. The lesson starts with a review of previous learning. The lesson moves onto an independent research task to help embed meta-cognitive regulation, this is the discussed via teacher and slides to ensure pupils have understood. Understanding is assessed via a hinge point question and a bronze (mini lesson), silver (structured task) or gold task (structured open) is allocated to evidence differentiation and give the students the most appropriate task. students then get to see and exam question which is modelled on the board before the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Eukaryote organelles
The lesson requires a print out of some of the slides to enable the students to gain the information in a engaging and discovery led way. The students develop their ideas with a differentiated activity before attempting the same exam question to demonstrate their knowledge. There is an exit ticket at the end.
The lesson embeds high quality student led learning and matches the learners' needs via differentiated activities.
Prokaryote vs Eukaryotes
