SB3f lesson from the new Edexcel Biology GCSE looking at the work of Gregor Mendel including what he did, the conclusions he drew and the response at the time. One of the tasks (about 10 minutes of the lesson) involves the use of the Pearson ActiveTeach worksheets, but could easily be replaced by other worksheets/tasks

Chapter 2 unit from the OCR Biology A A-Level all about basic components of living systems. The unit 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. Including: 2.1 Microscopy (split into two lesson due to half of lesson one being used to introduce the course to new year 12 students. Could easily be grouped together as one though). 2.2 Magnification and Calibration (tasks involve the use of a maths skills in biology text book but could be swapped out for other textbooks/worksheets you have available). 2.3 More Microscopy 2.4 Eukaryotic Cell Structure 2.5 The Ultrastructure of Plant Cells 2.6 Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

A collection of 3 lessons looking at the Science of Superheroes and students designing their own superhero. Used with year 7 students, but could be used for the rest of KS3 and higher up KS2. All worksheets are included within the PowerPoint (as hidden slides, that just need printing off). Lesson 1: Starter-listing superheroes and thinking how we can group/classify them. Activity- look at origins of powers, types of powers and features to think about in designing a costune. Introduce task of designing a superhero, start some rough planning work. Plenary- thinking how magnetic powers might be useful in day to day life. Lesson 2: Starter- true or false activity about real life 'superpowers'. Activity- designing superhero, thinking about powers and origin of powers. Plenary- what does groot need to grow/survive. Lesson 3: Starter- peer assess each other work around the classroom using post it notes, then making some improvements. Activity- A story/cartoon strip about an accident in the lab where their superhero is first on the scene. Plenary- answer the questions before magneto pulls the objects to him (questions could be changed to cover topics done recently).
