Biology
Biology - Microscope technology (Light vs electron)
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 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.
Biology - Three domains of life
This is a whole lesson with tasks and presentation.
The lesson looks at a difficult and new concept the three domains of life. This lesson utilises teacher led learning and video based learning to cover the preferences of the student. The learning is assessed with a hinge point question into a differentiated task. The lessons concludes with an exit ticket.
Biology - Osmosis, diffusion and active transport
This is a whole lesson that includes worksheets and a presentation.
Over arching concepts in biology.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic one of Biology.
This lessons focuses on osmosis and diffusion with the addition of active transport. There are multiple opportunities for differentiation already built in in a bronze, silver gold format. There are two hinge point questions that offer a really good AFL opportunity. The lesson requires potassium permanganate and a deodorant can.

DNA - Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: Topic 3, lesson 1 DNA
Topic three lesson one focuses on DNA. The lesson starts with an administrative starter ensuring that presentation is to Ofsted Standard. The lesson moves onto discuss DNA using images and key points that build on KS3. Understanding is assessed via a hinge point question and a silver or gold task is allocated to evidence differentiation and give the students the most appropriate task. The lesson gives the students the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge with and exam style question and markscheme before the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Meiosis - Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: Topic 3, lesson 3 Meiosis
Topic three lesson three focuses on Meiosis . The lesson starts with an key word to definition starter. The lesson moves onto a open discussion and a video. Understanding is assessed via a hinge point question and a bronze (cloze), silver (cloze) or gold task (structured open) is allocated to evidence differentiation and give the students the most appropriate task. The lesson gives the students the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge with a step by step labelled diagram before 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.
Genetic inheritence - Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: Topic 3, lesson 5 Genetic inheritence
Topic three lesson five focuses on inheritance. The lesson starts with a key word association. The lesson moves onto look at the most basic variation, male or female, and gives the students the opportunity to make their own observations of a punnet square. The learning journey then looks at cystic fibrosis as a case study to inheritance; both the symptoms and prognosis are discussed. Students then look at pedigree analysis and answer questions regarding it. The main demonstrate activity is differentiated and led by a hinge point question, the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

This is not a stand alone resource.
Prokaryotic organelles
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.
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
Overarching concepts in biology.
The lesson requires microscopes and slides, it focuses on identify the difference between prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. The AFL component is a 10 mark hinge question this lead to a differentiated outcome depending on the score. There is an exit ticket at the end.
Lesson allows student to be independent but at the same time provides structure and fits the students needs.
Cell specialism: sperm, egg and cilliated epithelial
The lesson starts with a presentation focus to ensure the students show pride in their work. It then moves in to introduce the main cells of the lesson: cilliated epithelial, sperm and egg. After a brief introduction to these there is a ten minute Kagan activity where students can gather information about the cell before sharing with their group. This rolls into a true or false hinge point question to direct learning via differentiated association squares. The learners solidify their understanding with a Cloze activity before finishing with an exit ticket.
Enzymes - amylase and experiment
The lesson starts by getting student to make the link between amylase and sugar. Three Key definitions are reviewed before a table and colour scale is given out. The students then experiment with amylase, the method made clear. They then demonstrate their understanding with a graph before reviewing learning with and exit ticket.
Plant structure and adaptations
The lesson start by looking at variety in plants, this case study in the venus fly trap.
There is then a hinge point question to decide the starting point for the SOLO taxonomy task; this starts with basic key word match up and finishes with adaptations of cacti and stomata. This includes both the ppt and the SOLO work sheet.

The lesson requires microscopes and slides, it focuses on making comparisons between plant and animal cells and assesses this in a 6 mark question, this is to be self-assessed with and mark scheme (foundation and higher lessons attached as a formative feedback activity. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
With in the download there is a information sheet on plant, animal and prokaryote cells and a differentiated exam question with the mark schemes on the back to encourage resilience for the students and modelling success.
CB5a - Health - Edexcel 2016 - Topic 5 lesson 1: Health
The lesson is specific the new Edexcel GCSE and part of topic 5.
The lesson starts by engaging the students in what it means to be healthy before to learning outcomes are discussed.

After this a graph is interpreted that helps establish the correlation between wealth and health, there are questions to guide thinking and HOTS questions to stretch able students.
Definitions of communicable and non-communicable disease are reviewed with students before a work sheet and a further HOTS questions stretch learning and demonstrate understanding the lesson concludes with an exam question and model answer.
