This lesson starts with a assessment before directing the students to different tasks depending on understanding. This is not a stand alone lessons and should be purchased with my other CB4 resources: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/cb4-learning-outcome-sheet-exit-ticket-tracker-and-5-lessons-11420893 The lesson does require the Edexcel text books

The lessons introduced the lock and key model before getting students to investigate a solutions in a problem based learning way. The students then have the opportunity to attempt a differentiated work sheet based on their confidence.

Here are the learning outcomes, I have broken them up into more manageable sections. There is also an entry test to assess baseline knowledge. This is not a resource to purchase alone but as a bundle.

The lesson looks at interdependence between organisms. This is done by looking at food chains, food webs and key language associated with this wordy topic. The lesson concludes with an exam question and model answer.

Very simple lesson with the aim of introducing the students to quadrat sampling and the calculation for working out population density.

The lesson starts by looking at predator prey relationships, this develops into some graph analysis. The next task looks at biotic factors ad how the change food webs. There is then a 10 mark quiz, an outcome differentiated worksheet and an exam Q to finish.

The lesson start by looking at non-indigenous species and how the influence a food web. The next task looks at fish farming (inline with exam spec) and the ecological problems associated with fish farming. The lesson concluded with an exam question.

Very big lesson (I ran it over two hour with year 10). The lesson start but looking at the definition of a parasite via a couple of videos. There is then a hinge point question that leads into a mini SOLO task. This is followed by an exam question and model answer to discus the marks and key points. The task then turns to mutualist looking at the species that are recommended on the exam spec. The lesson finishes with an exam q.

The tasks involves looking at a step by step to eutrophication. The main focus of the lesson is to get the students to answer and improve a 6 mark question.

The lesson looks at endangered species and moves to discuss deforestation. Students then have to design their own ecosystem before there understanding is demonstrated with work sheet. The lesson concludes with an exam question.

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.

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.

Core practical for Biology topic one

This is an ideal lesson to run after teaching the basics of animal and plant cells. The lesson is focused around a 6 mark GCSE-style exam questions. It is highly differentiated via Gold- Silver-Bronze tasks. It includes a hinge-point question to give the students the appropriate challenge or support in the build up task then an attempt at the answer before feedback based on model answer followed by a ‘green-pen’ opportunity to demonstrate improvements.

Percentile charts and cell differentiation - Cells and Control. The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic two of the new GCSE (to be sat in 2017). The lesson start by looking at why percentile charts are used, this is done by levelled examples followed by some teacher led questions. The lesson then moves on to cell differentiation that is formatively assessed with a hinge point question. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

The lesson starts with a 10 question recap quiz before looking at different ways to obtain drinking water. Students that have a look at the water cycle, led by the teacher, before students look at clouds in a practical way. Student then have a go at making water stills. The lesson returns to exam spec questions finishing with an exam question.

Lesson 5 look at the concept of relative motion, it is a lesson aimed for students who are looking to study GCSE Edexcel. The lesson starts with a review of previous learning via the RAGing of topics over the last 4 lessons. It then moves on to look at a train crash (not graphic or upsetting) an gets the students to think about what the implication of this are. The lesson swiftly moves to some animations of relative motion to encourage the students to gain an understanding via a think, pair, share activity. There is then a hinge question to direct learning and assess understanding this leads into a differentiated task either gold, silver or bronze, there is included a purple extension. Student have the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding with a differentiated challenge question the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

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.

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.
