The lesson is a well constructed and differentiated lesson intended for the new Edexcel 9-1 GCSE. The lesson starts with a comparison between apes, humans and pre-humans before introducing the idea of fossilisation. There are then a couple of videos showing great apes acting in a human fashion. Students then complete a research task making a time line of human evolution. Learning is assessed before there are two differentiated worksheets to best cater for the level of need. The lesson concludes with a GCSE exam question.

The lesson starts by looking the selective breeding of the pug before a video clip looking at the selection and breeding of cows. Student then make comparisons between brassicas and the common ancestor. Student answer question based on the plant example and then show off their understanding via a worksheet with HOTS extension task. The lesson concludes with an exam question.

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 looks to compare western and third world diets. At the same time as learning some of the foods and problems of diet the students learn lab skills.

This is the entry test to CB4. The purpose of this is to assess baseline knowledge and then where students are weakest and have the least understanding the have a KS3 level introduction to the topic e.g. CB4b - Darwin's theory. The entry test bookmarks progress for the module.

The lesson starts by a summary activity of GMO before the student watch two clips of the pros and cons of GMO. The lesson evolves into a carousel style information gathering task which encourages independence and curiosity. The understanding is assessed via a hinge point question that directs the students to a differentiated worksheet. The lesson is concluded with an exam question.

This lesson looks a reviewing the understanding of the students, where understanding is weak the students are directed to a customised resource with some introduction and demonstrate activity. if students have a good understanding of all areas there is an extension task of exam questions. Topic reviewed: CB4a: human evolution CB4b: Darwin's theory CB4c: classification CB4d: selective breeding ** This is not a stand alone resource but should be purchased with ScienceMastery's other CB4 resources.

The lesson starts be getting students to make associations between different organisms. There is then a teacher lead (all within the presentation) discussion about the use of 5 kingdoms and the move to the 3 domains. This is then assessed via a deep diagnostic hinge question that direct learning to the students weaker area. The lesson finished on an Edexcel specific exam question with the opportunity to review the answers, this is recorded in the exit ticket tracker.

This is a resource that looks at bacteria, plant and animal cells. It requires a textbook (preferably the combined science 9-1). This is a really simple lesson that looks at defining and comparing the different cells before completing a worksheet to summerising the learning. This is best purchases as part of my series of revision lessons.

This is a revision resource that covers CB1a microscopes. The resource looks at comparing electrons and light microscopes, magnification and image size. There are short quizzes that summerise the learning and a worksheet and exam question to review the topic.

Lesson includes basic resources to support the core practical plus a powerpoint lesson that helps break it down and differentiate it.

The lessons introduced the lock and key model before getting students to investigate a solutions in a problem based learning way. The students then have the opportunity to attempt a differentiated work sheet based on their confidence.

The lesson looks at interdependence between organisms. This is done by looking at food chains, food webs and key language associated with this wordy topic. The lesson concludes with an exam question and model answer.

This lesson starts with a assessment before directing the students to different tasks depending on understanding. This is not a stand alone lessons and should be purchased with my other CB4 resources: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/cb4-learning-outcome-sheet-exit-ticket-tracker-and-5-lessons-11420893 The lesson does require the Edexcel text books

The lesson starts by outlining what is needed and what an exam question looks like. It then moves to so questions and discussion based on the 3 cells that are required for the exam spec before getting the student to relate fertilization to all 3 specialist cells. The lesson finishes with a work sheet.

Very simple lesson with the aim of introducing the students to quadrat sampling and the calculation for working out population density.

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.

The lesson starts with a short recall quiz before introducing the idea of the heart via and independent research task. After this it is a good opportunity to do a dissection and get the students to annotate on the heart print out the key component of the heart. The lesson then moves to calculate stroke volume and do some graph interpretation of that.
