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.

Students are directed to take note of key sections using red font. Students then apply their knowledge to a card sort activity which can be glued to A3 paper to create a revision resource on meiosis. The lesson then progresses to cover ‘cross over’ and ‘independent assortment’ ahead of PP questions and a final reflective plenary. All answers are included into the slides for each activity allowing for self/peer correction. Timers are included to promote pace.

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.

A complete lesson for the topic of neurotransmission, covering sensory and motor neurones, synapse and the reflex arc. Lesson includes timers to promote pace, and powerpoint animations to facilitate Q/A during peer/self correction of answers. Content is based on Edexcell SOW but can be used for any.

A full lesson based on the OCR-A SOW. The lesson introduces the carbon cycle and students apply their learning to a past paper question. After this students are handed a table to fill in as you work through slides detailing the nitrogen cycle. This is then peer assessed prior to students attempting 2 more past paper questions based on the nitrogen cycle. All answers incorporated into the slides, timers used to promote pace.

A full lesson introducing the topic of ecosystems. The lesson is based on the OCR-A SOW but can be used for others. The lesson introduces key words relating to ecosystems through video, and has a simple match up activity to allow for AFL. Students then learn about biotic and abiotic factors making use of examples. They then participate in an activity where they must correctly categorise factors as biotic and abiotic from the board. A past exam question is included as a 'stretch question' to reinforce learning at this point. Students are then introduced to food chains, webs and trophic levels prior to a final 'question grid challenge' with differentiated questions based on the learning objective of the lesson. The plenary is based on reflective writing, where students gauge their progress towards the lessons learning objectives, and how they can improve.
