A full, differentiated lesson based on the new AQA (B4.2) SOW. This lesson starts off with a brief video to introduce the topic and then covers arteries, veins and capillaries in detail. Student understanding is checked via a differentiated question grid challenge. Students then attempt a past paper question (9 marks) and peer/self mark. The lesson then covers double circulation and its advantages. Another PP question is used for students to apply their learning. Peer/self marking facilitates AFL. A plenary question involves students comparing the efficiency of a fishes circulatory system to our own. Again this can be self/peer assessed. Students then finally reflect on their learning progress against the learning objectives. All answers are included within the slides, and timers are used to promote pace. LO are ranked based on the new 1-9 system.

A full differentiated lesson based on the new AQA (B6.1) SOW. The lesson uses video, animation and think pair and share activities to teach the concepts of vaccination and herd immunity. Student understanding is assessed/applied through the use of a differentiated question grid and past paper questions (answers included). The plenary is based on students reflecting upon their progress against the learning objectives.

This lesson is tailored to the new OCR-A SOW. Please note this is a follow on lesson to a free resource which can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gene-expression-lac-operon-complete-lesson-a2-11780445 This lesson expands on the above to cover introns, exons and mRNA editing, cAMP is post transnational regulation of gene expression, body plans (Hox genes), and apoptosis and mitosis in the regulation of body plans. All answers incorporated into the slides or attached in included mark scheme, animation is included to facilitate self correction/questioning and timers are included to promote pace.

A full lesson based on the OCR-A SOW but could be used for others. This lesson was delivered to an A2 class but the content is quite simple making it suitable for AS alike. This lesson covers genetic and environmental factors within inheritance, using chlorosis in plants and body mass in animals as examples for the latter. The role of sexual reproduction in genetic variation is then studied, alongside homozygous and heterozygous inheritance and continuous/discontinuous variation. A range of activities (including 2 past paper questions) are used to apply knowledge/check for understanding at certain stages within the lesson. Timers are included to promote pace and all answers are included via animation. Self/peer marking follows each activity.

Includes comprehensive slides with extension work, support sheet for less able, card sort activity, product critique activity and differentiated question grid. All incorporated into the slides, no additional material needed. Used for year 8 class based on Activate text book, could be used for year 9 or a more able year 7 class.

Complete lesson on inheritance tailored towards the activate scheme. This lesson was used for year 8 but could be used for high ability year 7. All resources included. Animations and timers facilitate green pen 'correction' and keep pace.

A full lesson with all the resources you need for translocation. Covers 'sources' and 'sinks', the mass flow hypothesis and active loading. Prepared for an AS class but includes all the content needed for A2, the lesson is tailored to OCR-A but can be used for others.

A full differentiated lesson based on the OCR-A SOW. This lesson was used by myself for an A2 class but the content is simple enough for AS. The lesson covers sigmoidal population growth curves, abiotic and biotic limiting factors, migration and density independent factors. Student understanding is then checked through the use of a differentiated question grid tailored to the lessons LO. Students are then introduced to intra and interspecific competition using examples. The red/grey squirrel example is discussed. Students then apply their learning to 2 exam style questions. The plenary is based upon the students reflecting upon their progress against the learning objectives. All answers are included within the slides facilitating self/peer marking, timers are included to promote pace.

A full lesson based on the new AQA (B10.3) SOW but can be used for others. The lesson recaps the types of neurones, covers synapse and then the reflex arc. A range of activities are included alongside a worksheet which consolidates learning across B10. All answers are included through animation to facilitate self/peer marking and timers are included to promote pace. The plenary is based on student reflection upon their progress against the learning objectives.

This is a full, differentiated lesson based on the new AQA (B4.3) SOW but could be used for others. The lesson includes heart structure, the atria, ventricles and associated arteries and veins. Student understanding is checked by a differentiated question grid challenge. Students then conduct the heart dissection practical, a demo is useful here but a video is included. The lesson then covers coronary heart disease and is followed by a past exam question for AFL. The plenary is based on students reflecting upon their progress against the learning objectives.

A full differentiated lesson on the topic of breathing. The lesson is based on the Activate 1 book (B2.3) but can be used for others. The lesson includes video, a demonstration using a bell jar and a simple practical exercise where students observe an increase in CO2 in expired breath using lime water (can be done as a demo). Homework is also included or can be deployed as a stretch activity. PowerPoint animation and timers are included to promote pace and self/peer mediated correction of answers.

A full differentiated lesson on the gas exchange system. The lesson is tailored to the Activate 1 textbook topic B2.2 but can be used for others. Includes an activity where students make use of straws, raisins and cocktail sticks to model the respiratory system. PowerPoint timers and animations are included to promote pace and self/peer mediated correction of answers.

Complete lesson based on the Activate 2 SOW - includes everything you need.

A complete lesson covering the topic of the cell cycle and mitosis. The lesson is tailored towards OCR-A and includes the content required for AS/A2. Past paper questions used at 2 separate learning checkpoints with the answers incorporated into the slides. PowerPoint animations are included to facilitate questioning during the review of answers and timers are included to promote pace.

Full differentiated lesson with everything you need for the new AQA (B9.3) SOW. Support sheets included for less able and stretch activities for more able. Main activity is a data analysis task with graph plotting. Timers are included to promote pace and answers are included va animation for Q/A/writing activities allowing for self or peer correction of answers.
