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 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.

The lesson is a practical focused revision lesson that looks at proving the function of enzymes. The lesson includes a slide of the substrates different digestive enzymes breakdown and a summery worksheet.

The lessons starts by a quick review of the factors that affect enzyme activity before a exam style questions on enzymes. This is not a stand alone resource and best used with the revision collection.

The lessons starts by reviewing previous learning before looking at aerobic and anaerobic respiration via demonstrations and questions. The lesson then get students to focus on a comparison of aerobic and anaerobic respiration in the style of a GSCE 6 mark question. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket

The lesson starts with 8 recall questions before discussing the components of blood. The information is summerised in a carousel style task looking at the function and adaption of each component of blood. The lesson then moves to looking at the different blood vessels and a adaptions of each. This is a lesson very much focused on memory and short activities.

The resource is a spreadsheet containing topic CB1- CB9 quick quiz questions. There are 550 questions, use the drop down to select for topics. This is a resource to promote the recall of knowledge for the new tough linear exam. I use this when planning for starters and plenaries. If you think of any other innovative ways to use please let me know.

We all know that a big problem for low confidence lower ability students are their levels of literacy. This is my attempt to close the gap on the literacy deficit of some of our student. This activity comprise of 3 different task based around the key language of CB6. The first activity is dual coding where students draw images of the key words. The next is a match up activity and the final is an MCQ task. Really interested to hear your thoughts.

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 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.

This is a 2 in 1 lesson (due to exam time constraints. The lesson starts by addressing photosynthesis, breaking down the equation. It move on to a hinge point question and then either a lower ability WS or a short grades task. There lesson finishes with a how science works graph exercise 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). 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.

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 lesson pushes the basics of enzyme activity (denaturing, optimum pH, temperature, substrate concentration) It leads to a differentiated activity to help understanding for mid and high ability. The lesson concludes with an annotated exam question from the 2017 GCSE How Science Works questions. There is an exit tick plenary.

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 is a practical lesson looking at how time affects enzyme activity. The lesson get the students to demonstrate their knowledge by presenting the results on a graph using the colour scales and estimated enzyme activity levels. 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). 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.

Over arching concepts in biology. This lesson is an into to topic 6 (CB6a). The lesson features a hinge question to determine students ability which leads into a SOLO taxonomy activity. One of the stations in a 6 mark GCSE question that can be peer or teacher assessed. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
