A lesson on bacterial resistance to antibiotics as evidence for evolution with a focus on literacy and extended answer questions. Lesson includes: - Objectives and keywords - Notes on bacterial selection and antibiotic resistance - Literacy activity reading a newspaper article about antibiotic resistance (October 2017) - Exemplar bad/good/fantastic answers to an extended answer question - Opportunity for pupils to write their own answer - Plenary around skills answering extended answer questions and knowledge gained in the lesson

A six mark question considering arguments for and against the use of GM crops in different senarios. Includes a WASOLL (What a shocking one looks like), WAGOLL (What a good one looks like) and a WAFOLL (What a fantastic one looks like). Pupils can annotate good/bad points and how to improve them and then use this to produce their own answer to the question.

A lesson focusing on calculations for kinetic energy and GPE used as a revision lesson. Lesson has outcomes, a starter quiz (can be adapted to match your own prior lesson if you wish), definitions for GPE and KE, opportunity to model calculations to pupils (focusing on working out velocity using the KE formula), questions for pupils to practice on and exam questions to practice in context. The lesson also give opportunity to practice using the KE and GPE formula and the idea of conservation of energy. There is an exam question on the ppt to model the method, and a harder exam question where pupils can apply this themselves.

A presentation on resultant forces and how to use a parallelogram of forces to calculate a resultant force. The presentation includes: Learning Outcomes Slides to deliver the principles of resultant forces A short exam question on resultant forces Instructions for pupils on how to construct a parallelogram of forces including: - Steps for success - Slides detailing how to carry this out - A worked example video demonstrating how to use a protractor correctly to measure the resultant force Practice questions for pupils to practice the use of the parallelogram of forces

A complete summary of the content for Edexcel B2 topics 1-3 including keywords for the 2017 exam series. Information is multicoded and sorted into columns to aid retention with a keyword summary at the end. Ideal to give to pupils to revise in the run up to their exams.

A thinking frame to help pupils structure longer answer questions (4, 5 and 6 mark questions). The activity guides pupils through three steps that can be applied to nearly every extended answer questions and is particularly relevant to the extended writing focus of the new GCSE specifications. I have found it very useful with lower ability and/or under confident pupils that struggle to get started on these longer answer style questions. This frame provides an accessible start for pupils and allows them to reach the higher marking bands.

A knowledge organiser for the homeostasis and response section of the AQA Combined Science Trilogy specification. All the key information organised to aid memory and recall. Useful for revision and for to support learning in lessons.

A knowledge organiser for AQA 9-1 GCSE Biology ecology unit aimed at pupils taking the trilogy specification. Useful for revision, to aid teaching and other revision activities such as making flash cards. See my other resources for a knowledge organiser for the triple specification.

A knowledge organiser for the Inheritance and Genetics section (4.6.1) of the GCSE 9-1 Biology (Trilogy) specification. Suitable as a lesson aid, for revision or to make flash cards from amongst many other uses! Contains all the key information for revision of this topic and worked example questions for some common types of exam question.

A revision lesson for a GCSE foundation tier/middle ablility pupils on electromagnets and solenoids focusing on the magnetic fields. This lesson could also be used to support a practical investigation on electromagnets with the content on the properties of electromagnets and solenoids but does not include any protocols for the investigation. The lesson includes 3 learning outcomes, keywords, notes on the properties of electromagnets and solenoid with quick review questions and a set of relevant exam questions with mark scheme. There is also an extension task on planning an investigation into the strength of electromagnets in the style of the new 6 mark questions.

A set of lecture notes to talk through the light dependant reaction of photosynthesis.

A complete lesson on respiration including practical investigations with questions, review questions to direct a differentiated exam question task. Challenge task available for pupils who complete these.

A complete lesson on power and energy aimed at a KS3 class but suitable for KS4 lower ability pupils. Presentation includes starter/settler, learning outcomes, notes on power, calculations for pupils to practice power calculations, notes on fuses, activity to link power calculations to choice of fuse and plenary questions.

A presentation to accompany a lesson on P.D. and current in the context of model circuits. Includes starter/settler, learning outcomes, notes on P.D. and current, an example model circuit to explain concepts to pupils, instructions for an investigation into PD and current in a circuit and plenary questions. Add in an activity with pupils modelling circuits and its pretty much a full lesson.
