Lesson on Maths skills needed for the new Combined Science GCSE (9-1) with a focus on Biology content, although many of the skills are needed across all three Sciences. The lesson is intended to be a circus activity with all of the topics around the room (information sheet and exam question sheet for each that I printed back to back) for students to move around between and then mark at the end of the lesson. It could easily be done as a teacher lead lesson as well though and even slotted into other lessons as needed. The maths skills included are: Comparing Data Analysing Graphs Drawing Tables Calculating the Mean Mode & Median Calculating Percentages Calculating Percentage Changes Percentile Charts Converting Units Standard Form Ratios & Fractions Variation Magnification Equation Cardiac Output Equation BMI Equation Estimating Population Size Equation There is an information sheet and exam question sheet for each, as well as answers to all the questions.

Practical skills lesson (variables, drawing tables, graphs, etc) based around measuring transpiration using a potometer. Was planned to go alongside OCR Biology A- 9.3 transpiration.

12.1 lesson from the OCR Biology A A Level all about animal and plant pathogens. *The lesson was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. *

Worksheet for use when revising Edexcel CB6 topic all about plants. Students answer the questions either using their own knowledge, a partner or the text book and then indicate on the sheet which they used. Answers are included on the second page.

Revision activity for the Edexcel combined science GCSE CB8 topic and biology GCSE SB8 topic. The idea is that in pairs/groups, students roll two dice to determine which questions to answer and fill them in on the sheet.

40 past paper six mark questions from the edexcel Biology GCSE (9-1). Includes mark schemes for each question and a slide of which topics are covered in which question for students to choose which ones to answer. Some of the questions are triple only topics, but some questions could also be used with combined groups.
