CB2 Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: lesson 1 -5 - Stem cells, neurons, reflex arc, cancer, percentile charts
Five lessons that focus on topic two of the new Edexcel Biology 9-1 GCSE spec.
Biology - Microscope technology (Light vs electron)
This is a whole lesson including tasks and presentation.
Over arching concepts in biology.

CB9 Edexcel - Lesson 3: abiotic factors
The lesson starts with looking at oxygen and goldfish, the lesson moves to establish different abiotic factors before getting students to review there own. There are differentiated work sheets for an extended activity, the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
CB6c-d - transpiration, osmosis and translocation
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.
Forces and Energy lesson 9 - magnetic fields
The lessons starts by reviewing previous learning in the topic. It then moves on to a SOLO taxonomy task (not labelled as solo) with 5 separate tasks of increasing difficulty. Two tasks within are practical. The lesson concludes with an exit tick and a review of LO.
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.
Microscopes - magnification and scale
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.
Digestive enzymes- problem based learning
Enzymes higher level lesson based around nutrition (written by Nutrition major)
The lesson start with a key word match up to overcome difficulties in language. This is followed by a video with questions to provide an active watch for the students.

The learning outcomes are then reviewed before the students attempt an independent research task looking at five communicable diseases and answering questions that lead to an understanding of the learning outcome.
Their understanding is assessed by matching question and answer card sort, included were in the download, there is a higher order question two push the top end of students. The lesson concludes with a 10 mark exam question which students record in an exit ticket tracker and rank their learning outcomes.

Combined Science Edexcel 9-1: mock exam interactive revision schedule
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.
CB6 Revision booklet
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.
CB2 revision booklet

CB7a - Hormones. Edexcel 9-1
The lesson starts with recall questions and then moves on to a thinking for learn activity. Students then watch a video and answer some questions based on the video before summerising their understanding. The students then do an exam style question before an exit ticket. I think the resource is good an will promote good learning however it is not as detailed as many of my other lessons so I have listed it for free..... enjoy.
