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.

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 begins with some recall question on the previous lesson. The topic is introduced before the students attempt an independent task based on 5 stations where they engage in a Solo taxonomy style task. The lesson concludes with exam questions and mark scheme.

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.

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.

The lesson is of vital importance to young adults as it make students aware of the risk of unprotected sex. The do it now activity is a image to inspire disgust and conversation around the topic. There is a short video clip and some active watch questions to inspire conversation. The lesson them moves to looking a facts of 7 STIs and ranking them in an arrowhead 7. There is a brief look on the prevention of the contraction of the disease and then students attempt a exam style HSW worksheet; there is an extension built into the worksheet.

The lesson consists of a presentation and a practical help sheet looking at pH and enzyme activity.

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.

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.

The lesson start by engaging the students with a guess the LQ activity. The students then are guided through producing a mind-map of the spread and prevention of the exam spec diseases before they attempt a 6 mark question. As a class they review the mark scheme self assess their own work and redraft to perfect there answer.

The lesson is based on the new 2016 Edexcel GCSE and has been made accessible for those in KS3. The lesson starts by reviewing two clips of different predator- prey scenarios. There are different levels of questions for the students to attempt. The lesson evolves to describing what pyramids of biomass are before the students attempt some for themselves. The students then attempt a GCSE question and mark-scheme to help them if the get stuck. It concludes with an exit ticket.

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.

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). 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.

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). The lesson is a maths for biology focused lesson which involved a series of calculations for magnification (3 levels of differentiation) followed by a hinge point question leading into a series of calculations on scale and perceived size. The demonstrate activity is a student choice of difficulty to solve a biological problem. The lesson concluded with an exit ticket.

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.

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 start by engaging the students with a guess the LQ activity. The students then are guided through producing a mind-map of the spread and prevention of the exam spec diseases before they attempt a 6 mark question. As a class they review the mark scheme self assess their own work and redraft to perfect there answer.

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.

The lesson is specific the new Edexcel 9-1 GCSE and part of topic 5. The lesson starts by gettign the students to decde the difference between communicable and non-communicable disease. The lesson moves to review the 4 exam spec nutrition related diseases. Students then examine a graph as a key part of the how science works component of the new exam, there are differentiated question built into this. The students conclude the lesson with examining a different graph and answering a 6 mark question about it, there are 3 levels of difficulty to evidence differentiated. This answer can then be marked by the teacher.

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. The lesson moves to look at the WHO definition of help with memory trigger pictures to help students make associations. 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.
