Please note that you require the free tarsia software to open these documents, they will not open in other programmes. If you require help please email me. New AQA GCSE Biology 9-1 specification. Four tarsia activity puzzle documents included - I have produced two versions of each (both included in the zip file - total 8 documents). One version is ideal for trilogy, and another (named triple) ideal for biology as a single science. Both are aimed at higher tier candidates, you can adapted to suit foundation tier students if required. Covers the topics; cells, organisation, infection, bioenergetics. Each tarsia produces a different shape, there is one domino, one triangle, a rhombus and a standard parallelogram. The triple version includes the part of the topic for biology only and is slightly more difficult as there are questions around the edges/ or bigger version of the puzzle. My students have loved these activities, they are fun to work on in pairs, they guide the students to revise the particular key words etc that I know they will need to recall, and used together with my support mats (a large print out of my active revision card activities), the students can look up anything they are unsure of (they can quickly go over the content again). OR a useful marking free homework - at a glance check the student have correct shape, can be peer marked by posting up the solution on the board. You will require the free tarsia software downloaded to your computer, simply google it and install, if you would like on your school computer your computer technicians should be happy to help.

Outstanding Lesson Plan template and more… A collection of my own useful templates for teachers, to assist teachers in taking teaching to Outstanding. I put together my own quick lesson plan to help myself write outstanding lessons every time according to latest requirements (2018), it can be used as it is and written out for a lesson, in conjunction with some of my own shared ideas. I have decided to share this and other templates I have been working on to save time and help teachers reach outstanding every time. Includes: A ready to use lesson plan template containing all the elements you need to consider for an outstanding lesson, with activity suggestions. A very simple progress tool suggestion, ready to cut and stick or students to copy, just add it to your slide. Simply including a progress tracker will take your lesson to outstanding. A customisable seating plan that is easy to adjust to your own classroom and students, including ideas for what you need to consider to take your lesson to outstanding. Medical slips, to quickly send students to medical with the necessary information and authorisation. Exit ticket to show that teaching is adjusted to the needs of the students and plan the next lesson according to requirement. Behaviour tickets, asking for parent signature, useful for record keeping. Behaviour reports for tricky behaviour classes, useful for keeping track of who is breaking the same rule every lesson. Activity grid suggestion - my outstanding lessons include filling one of these out so that students have a choice of what activity to complete, suggestions included of how to differentiate.

This lesson is a topic 1 lesson of the new AQA Biology and Trilogy 9-1 specification (topic 1). It covers cell differentiation and specialisation Each lesson provides take away learning card(s) so the students can keep a record of the content for that lesson, this lesson provides activities to meet the following outcomes. Explain the importance of cell differentiation. These lessons have a basic presentation, which can be made to look more engaging with free pictures from the internet which I cannot sell due to copyright, however the teaching from the lessons can be outstanding when customised to your own school/classes requirements and used together with my other suggested documents (also attached). My lessons contain all of the elements to make an outstanding lesson. I include with this lesson a free copy of my templates and student/teacher agreement, which I use to allow teaching to be outstanding on every level, including many of my own ideas not sold in any other toolkits or publications. I have taken feedback on my outstanding lessons to incorporporate the outstanding features into every lesson, that actually extend beyond the classroom. Any questions or queries please contact me via email.

The starter for the lesson would be to complete the work mat from memory, then switch to another colour to complete using the Information Mat (review). The rest of the lesson I ask a high ability set to apply the knowledge. Low Ability Lower sets are able to independently complete the work using the Information mat (review) and work mat together, they can read and simply find the answers.
