This resource contains the entire scheme of work for AQA 9-1 Inheritance, Variation & Evolution. Each lesson is complete, with powerpoints, extensions and separate past paper questions. There is a large variety of AFL tasks/ differentiation and activity styles included, as well as suggested homeworks. This is one of the most comprehensive resource bundles of it’s kind available, and is easily adapted to fit your own timelines, or to fit other exam boards. Lessons are titled as follows. How are plants & animals adapted to reproduce? How do cells in the body replicate? How do sex cells replicate, and lead to variation? What is the human genome? How is the structure of DNA linked to protein synthesis (Bio only) Why do offpring share characteristics with their parents? What are mutations (Bio) & inherited disorders? How is sex determined, and how can we represent this? (mendel- Bio only) What is, and what causes variation? What is evolution & what evidence do we have for this? What is the theory of evolution & speciation ( bio only) How do fossils help us learn about evolution & extinction? How do we classify similar organisms? What is selective breeding? What is genetic engineering? How does cloning take place? (Bio only) What is the impact of antibiotic resistance?

An entire lesson for Antibiotic resistance for 9-1 GCSE. Includes extended writing tasks (literacy), fully differentiated and leveled, as well as extension & plenary past papers and summary tasks.

A complete lesson on cloning, for 9-1 AQA GCSE cloning. Follows on from Genetic engineering. Lesson is fully differentiated and contains RAG assessed PPQs, leveled challenge and peer feedback etc. Also present is homework.

A full lesson on genetic engineering for AQA 9-1 Biology GCSE. Covers all aspects of the process, including pros/cons etc. Links well with the previous lesson on selective breeding, and includes many tasks & differentiated objectives. Past paper Qs also included, and leveled R/A/G

A full lesson on selective breeding, with differentiation and plenty of challenge tasks. Work is levelled & includes a PPQ as well as a lot of application of acquired knowledge.

A full lesson for 9-1 AQA Classification. Can be modified, but required Ipads/IT resources unless you print out your own fact sheets. Includes ppt, with homework, differentiation & challenge tasks. PPQs to link back to prior topics also included.

A lesson to cover the new Biology (trilogy) GCSE Spec. Contains a variety of learning tasks, differentiated and complete with extension tasks and self/peer assessment. Incorporates tasks from prior lessons, incl the PPQ, to reinforce learning.

A resource for the Biology 9-1 AQA GCSE, a lesson for Biology only, which follows on from the lesson on natural selection & evolution. Differentiated with extensions & help sheets. Includes RAG Past paper Qs.

A resource for the 9-1 AQA GCSE. The covers the process of evolution, natural selection & survival of the fittest. It includes an application homework task, and differentiated tasks throughout, as well as Past paper Qs. The next lesson after this will be ‘theories of evolution’, which is required for Separate sciences (biology only) and will include comparisson of the two main theories at the time of Darwin.

This is an entire lesson for variation, to suit the new AQA 9-1 spec. It covers prior learning inc meiosis & reproduction and is fully differentiated with extension tasks throughout. Also attached are PPQs RAG levelled plus extension.

Lesson 1 of the 9-1 AQA GCSE spec for inheritance. Covers reproductive organs, fertilization and sexual vs asexual reproduction. Includes PPQs and differentiated tasks throughout.

A revision resource for AQA 9-1 GCSE Biology. Suited to 9s and 10s coming up to P1 PPEs. Content covers, key terms Spread of disease barrier prevention vaccination herd immunity (extension) White blood cell responses (ext) Fully differentiated and outcome based. PPQs from exampro included and differentiated, linked to the outcomes.

A practical revision lesson for the new AQA 9-1 Biology. This covers key enzyme concepts and the full RP5, effect of amylase on digestion of starch . Fully differentiated, with past paper Qs, RAG and scaffolding, and method sheets with extension tasks.

A full lesson for 9-1 GCSE AQA Biology, reaction times. This is part of unit 5, homeostasis. Lesson includes differentiated ppt with RAG and challenge tasks, plenty of AFL etc. Also included method and conversion table from AQA. Differentiated PPQs and a key practical terms hwk/extra task.

A resource inc ppt & past paper Qs to revise photosynthesis & leaf structure, nice straightforward lesson, with AO1/2/3 exam questions to be used throughout, and differentiated RAG tasks during the lesson.

A resource to overview respiration & Circulation in the new AQA GCSE, 9-1 Spec. Past papers includeded, and are differentiated, with Q1 being AO1, Q2 being AO2 and Q3 being AO3. The tasks throughout the ppt also build in RAG differentiation and challenge tasks, as well as modeling of good practice and graphical/data analysis.

A lesson presentation to cover new GCSE AQA spec 9-1. Lesson includes PPQs and is differentiated with challenge tasks.

A resource outlining all 10 required practicals, with links to suitable videos to remove the need to re-do all practicals (impossible in one or two lessons). Each slide is simply laid out to prompt students with ‘possible questions’ and an overview from a video, of the practical. The resource is divided into Paper 1 & paper 2, so you could deliver it over 2 lessons. I have also included the new AQA key command words, many of which are relevant to practicals, for students to do as a long starter type task, identifying what would be expected if they saw each word in a Q. the resource also clearly identifies which resources are not required for trilogy (also synergy).

A KS3 resource, in this instance was delivered to a mixed ability year 8 group. The lesson covers DNA in a good amount of detail, without going into the unneeded complexities of base pairing, the technical naming of structures etc. May be a good resource to revise DNA with low ability KS4 exam groups also. Students will explore the work of Watson & Crick, before considering the use of DNA and prior learning covered on cells which don’t fit the pattern in terms of DNA or chromosomes. Students will visit the idea of mutations, and consider what they are, using a simple letter replacement game (they can design their own after seeing the example (challenge). Finally followed by some past question practice (GCSE AO1)> `This lesson is fully differentiated, with extension and challenge throughout’

A KS3 resource (or KS4 recap lesson) on how reproduction leads to evolution. The lesson considers evolution, natural selection (Darwin’s finches) and extinction. The lesson has been planned for year 8 but will perfectly suit 7-9 depending on your schools schemes. Lesson contains a variety of engaging and differentiated tasks, including a mini practical, which can easily be substituted for ipad research or demo. PPQs are also included .
