Knowledge Organisers for Biology Life Processes
These Knowledge organisers provide the basic knowledge for the topic including diagrams and key words. On the reverse of this there are some basic question and some higher order question to stretch the students.

Life Processes Biology - 5 lessons + knowledge organiser
Here are a few highlights from the Life Processes module.
Included are: parasitism, pyramids of biomass, food webs, the lung and natural selection + a extremely high quality knowledge organiser with differentiation progress questions on the reverse.
Life Processes Lesson 9- Food webs
The lesson is based on Edexcel 2016 GCSE content and is vital that the younger year have an appreciation of GCSE requirements. This is a KS3 resource that can be adapted for GCSE.
The Do it now task assesses prior learning about food chains and energy transfer. The lesson then goes on to get the students to think, pair, share their ideas of how to make a food chain. There is a hinge point question to direct learning and then the students then attempt a food web with a series of animals. The student can then rate their confidence and choose either a gold or silver task with a food web differentiated question. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Biology: Natural selection made fun and engaging.
This lesson is designed to bring the fun back into a potentially dry subject. The lesson uses worms (sweets) to demonstrate how harmful and beneficial mutations alter the chances of reproduction. The lesson includes several thinking for learning activities. The lesson starts with a key word match up and finishes with an exit ticket to conclude learning.

Top 3 resources from razeitlin
Here are my 3 top selling resources in one discounted purchase.
1. Microscope technology is my best selling resource and focuses on the awe and wonder of microbiology by focusing on the species Demodex.
2. Magnification and scale is a highly differentiated lesson to compensate for students variation in mathematical ability, the lesson utilises hinge point questions to direct learning.
3. Osmosis and diffusion is a lesson that tackles difficult concepts in 3 chunks to make it achievable
Biology - Magnification and scale - Lesson 8
Whole lesson including presentation and tasks.
Over arching concepts in biology.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic one Biology.
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.

CB1 - Edexcel Biology topic 1: outstanding series of lessons
Bundle consists of 15 lessons on topic one of the new GCSE.
New Edexcel GCSE - Topic two - Cells and Control: Lesson 2 Cancer
This is a hard hitting lesson on cancer that is a core part of Edexcel GCSE 2016- Cells and control. The lesson start by getting the student to guess what is is about, it is a conversation led lesson that engages the students in a potentially emotional content. The lesson includes both the theory and some of the ethical considerations about smoking and advertising. The main task involves the students answering questions on the discussed topics before the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Biology - Three domains of life
This is a whole lesson with tasks and presentation.
The lesson looks at a difficult and new concept the three domains of life. This lesson utilises teacher led learning and video based learning to cover the preferences of the student. The learning is assessed with a hinge point question into a differentiated task. The lessons concludes with an exit ticket.
Biology - Osmosis, diffusion and active transport
This is a whole lesson that includes worksheets and a presentation.
Over arching concepts in biology.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic one of Biology.
This lessons focuses on osmosis and diffusion with the addition of active transport. There are multiple opportunities for differentiation already built in in a bronze, silver gold format. There are two hinge point questions that offer a really good AFL opportunity. The lesson requires potassium permanganate and a deodorant can.

Top 5 resources from razeitlin
Here are my 5 top selling resources in one discounted purchase.
1. Microscope technology is my best selling resource and focuses on the awe and wonder of microbiology by focusing on the species Demodex.
2. Magnification and scale is a highly differentiated lesson to compensate for students variation in mathematical ability, the lesson utilises hinge point questions to direct learning.
3. Osmosis and diffusion is a lesson that tackles difficult concepts in 3 chunks to make it achievable
4. Ofsted rated outstanding on plant and animal cells is a lesson that I was observed by a lead Ofsted inspector during a 'mocksted' . This was very well received and employs a unique remediation technique which encompasses a student led feedback.
5. Enzyme theory prior to core practical is a vital lesson in preparation for the students to sit one of their eight GCSE biology core practicals.
Biology - Microscope technology (Light vs electron microscopes)
This is a whole lesson including tasks and presentation.
Over arching concepts in biology.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic one of the module.
There is a focus on a creature called Demodex, a parasite that lives in 17% of the populations skin pores. The lesson stresses the differences an advantages and disadvantages of light vs electron microscopes.
The lesson features a hinge question to determine students ability which leads into a Cloze activity for lower ability students or an open ended research task for the higher ability.
Alleles - Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: Topic 3, lesson 4 Alleles
Topic three lesson four focuses on Alleles. The lesson starts with a review of previous learning. The lesson moves onto an independent research task to help embed meta-cognitive regulation, this is the discussed via teacher and slides to ensure pupils have understood. Understanding is assessed via a hinge point question and a bronze (mini lesson), silver (structured task) or gold task (structured open) is allocated to evidence differentiation and give the students the most appropriate task. students then get to see and exam question which is modelled on the board before the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Eukaryote organelles
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.
The lesson embeds high quality student led learning and matches the learners' needs via differentiated activities.
Prokaryote vs Eukaryotes
Overarching concepts in biology.
The lesson requires microscopes and slides, it focuses on identify the difference between prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. The AFL component is a 10 mark hinge question this lead to a differentiated outcome depending on the score. There is an exit ticket at the end.
Lesson allows student to be independent but at the same time provides structure and fits the students needs.
Plant and Animal cells
The lesson requires microscopes and slides, it focuses on making comparisons between plant and animal cells and assesses this in a 6 mark question, this is to be self-assessed with and mark scheme (foundation and higher lessons attached as a formative feedback activity. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
With in the download there is a information sheet on plant, animal and prokaryote cells and a differentiated exam question with the mark schemes on the back to encourage resilience for the students and modelling success.
Meiosis - Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: Topic 3, lesson 3 Meiosis
Topic three lesson three focuses on Meiosis . The lesson starts with an key word to definition starter. The lesson moves onto a open discussion and a video. Understanding is assessed via a hinge point question and a bronze (cloze), silver (cloze) or gold task (structured open) is allocated to evidence differentiation and give the students the most appropriate task. The lesson gives the students the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge with a step by step labelled diagram before the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
