The lesson requires microscopes and slides, it focuses on identify key organelles in prokaryote cells. There is a differentiated activity to help the students build ideas, this focuses on the dangers as well as key organelles in bacteria. This is followed by a new spec exam question. There is an exit ticket at the end.
This resource is the learning outcome sheet to CB4 - from the new Edexcel GCSE spec.
This is not a stand alone resource but an essential part if purchasing a series of lessons.
The lesson starts by matching the keywords to the images. The lesson then moves to review the examples of the evolution of giraffes linking each stage to the exam specification. The students then rate their confidence and move on to differentiated storyboard tasks looking at the evolution of the woolly mammoth. The lesson finishes with a 6 mark question with a mark scheme so the students can self-assess their answers.
The lesson starts by reviewing the WHO concerns on antibiotic resistance before looking at how it works. After students see this they prepare a storyboard on antibiotic resistance. Students then attempt an outcome differentiated worksheet before a 3 mark exam question and review of that to end the lesson.
The lesson is a well constructed and differentiated lesson intended for the new Edexcel 9-1 GCSE.
The lesson starts with a comparison between apes, humans and pre-humans before introducing the idea of fossilisation. There are then a couple of videos showing great apes acting in a human fashion. Students then complete a research task making a time line of human evolution. Learning is assessed before there are two differentiated worksheets to best cater for the level of need. The lesson concludes with a GCSE exam question.
The lesson starts by looking the selective breeding of the pug before a video clip looking at the selection and breeding of cows. Student then make comparisons between brassicas and the common ancestor. Student answer question based on the plant example and then show off their understanding via a worksheet with HOTS extension task. The lesson concludes with an exam question.

The lesson looks to compare western and third world diets. At the same time as learning some of the foods and problems of diet the students learn lab skills.
This is the entry test to CB4. The purpose of this is to assess baseline knowledge and then where students are weakest and have the least understanding the have a KS3 level introduction to the topic e.g. CB4b - Darwin's theory. The entry test bookmarks progress for the module.
The lesson starts by a summary activity of GMO before the student watch two clips of the pros and cons of GMO. The lesson evolves into a carousel style information gathering task which encourages independence and curiosity. The understanding is assessed via a hinge point question that directs the students to a differentiated worksheet. The lesson is concluded with an exam question.
This lesson looks a reviewing the understanding of the students, where understanding is weak the students are directed to a customised resource with some introduction and demonstrate activity. if students have a good understanding of all areas there is an extension task of exam questions.
Topic reviewed:
CB4a: human evolution
CB4b: Darwin's theory
CB4c: classification
CB4d: selective breeding
** This is not a stand alone resource but should be purchased with ScienceMastery's other CB4 resources.
The lesson starts be getting students to make associations between different organisms. There is then a teacher lead (all within the presentation) discussion about the use of 5 kingdoms and the move to the 3 domains. This is then assessed via a deep diagnostic hinge question that direct learning to the students weaker area. The lesson finished on an Edexcel specific exam question with the opportunity to review the answers, this is recorded in the exit ticket tracker.
These 12 lessons aim to engage and promote progress in year 9-10 students. From experience and due to the importance of this topic I have broken down some of the topics within the module if they are of high importance as this ensures that learning takes place. The lessons specialise in AFL which is built in at appropriate places.
This is a resource that looks at bacteria, plant and animal cells. It requires a textbook (preferably the combined science 9-1). This is a really simple lesson that looks at defining and comparing the different cells before completing a worksheet to summerising the learning. This is best purchases as part of my series of revision lessons.
This is a revision resource that covers CB1a microscopes. The resource looks at comparing electrons and light microscopes, magnification and image size. There are short quizzes that summerise the learning and a worksheet and exam question to review the topic.
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.
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.
Revision timetable and resource bank. To use: print and give to the students, put it up in the lab, send it home to parents or publish as an electric copy.
QR codes and hyperlinked topic titles take the students to a revision resource (mostly BBC Bitesize), on most days there is a key diagram and a selection of subtopics to revise.
This resource is designed to chunk the challenge of revision, giving students two months to revise every topic required for the mock exam that Edexcel are using to calibrate results. The calendar starts on the first of March and goes up until two days before the first exam.
Revising is a vital skill that many teachers neglect to teach their pupils. Most students struggle to plan their revision and rely on pre-exam cramming, as these students will not sit their final exam this year we need to ensure we help them retain the information. Spreading it out like this makes it an achievable challenge and will help them with long-term retention.
The lesson starts with a short recall quiz before introducing the idea of the heart via and independent research task. After this it is a good opportunity to do a dissection and get the students to annotate on the heart print out the key component of the heart. The lesson then moves to calculate stroke volume and do some graph interpretation of that.
