Biology
CB1di - Prokaryote organelles
Over arching concepts in biology.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic one of the new GCSE (to be sat in 2017).
The lesson requires microscopes and slides, it focuses on identify key organelles in prokaryote cells. There is a differentiated activity to help the students build ideas followed by a new spec exam question. There is an exit ticket at the end.
CB1bii: plant and animal cells
Over arching concepts in biology.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic one of the new GCSE (to be sat in 2017).
The lesson requires microscopes and slides, it focuses on making comparisons between plant and animal cells and assesses this in a 6 mark question, this is to be self-assessed with and mark scheme (foundation and higher lessons attached as a formative feedback activity. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
New Edexcel GCSE - Cells and Control: Lesson 23- Reflex arc
Cells and Control.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic two of the new GCSE (to be sat in 2017).
The lesson start by looking at the results of the exit tickets including a remedial feedback session. The lessons introduces the idea of reflex arcs with an animation and diagram before a hinge point question to assess understanding, this is followed by a differentiated task based on the answer to the HPQ. The lesson then moves to a practical class experiment with a discussed conclusion. This is followed by a modelled exam question and answer and summery worksheet and concludes with an exit ticket.
New Edexcel GCSE - Cells and Control: Lesson 22- neurones
Cells and Control.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic two of the new GCSE (to be sat in 2017).
The lesson focusses around a carousel based information gathering task, within the 4 stations there are levels of differentiation. The level of learning is assessed via a hinge question, this leads into an extension or consolidation activity. This activity is followed by a 6 mark GCSE question which is self assessed with a mark scheme. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

10. knowledge organizer for topic one
New Edexcel GCSE: Lesson 12- Food tests (higher only)
Over arching concepts in biology.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic one of the new GCSE (to be sat in 2017).
This is a practical lesson looking at different food test, this is largely problem led. The lesson is built around the idea of obesity in the west and the causes for that. This is a higher tier only lesson. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
The three Domains of Life - Edexcel new GCSE 2016
The lesson looks at a difficult and new concept of the Edexcel (1-9) GCSE 2016, the three domains of life. This lesson utilises teacher led learning and video based learning to cover the preferences of the student. The learning is assessed with a hinge point question into a differentiated task. The lessons concludes with an exit ticket.
Natural Selection made fun
This lesson is designed to bring the fun back into a potentially dry subject. The lesson uses worms (sweets) to demonstrate how harmful and beneficial mutations alter the chances of reproduction. The lesson includes several thinking for learning activities. The lesson starts with a key word match up and finishes with an exit ticket to conclude learning.
Life Processes Lesson 16- the Lung
This lesson is intended for KS3 and focuses on the structure not the function of the lung. The lesson start by discussing some of the key terms for the lung before a safety and risk focused demo dissection. There is then an AFL opportunity via a deep hinge point question; there are 3 differentiated activities that come of this depending on the students understanding. The lesson concludes with a image based exit ticket.
Life Processes Lesson 10- Pyramids of biomass
The lesson is based on the new 2016 Edexcel GCSE and has been made accessible for those in KS3.
The lesson starts by reviewing two clips of different predator- prey scenarios. There are different levels of questions for the students to attempt. The lesson evolves to describing what pyramids of biomass are before the students attempt some for themselves. The students then attempt a GCSE question and mark-scheme to help them if the get stuck. It concludes with an exit ticket.
Life Processes Lesson 11- Parasitism
Parasitism in a key concept in the GCSE 2016 and there for it is important to cover it early, this is a KS3 lesson with GCSE content, it could be easily adapted.
The lesson start with a highly engaging awe and wonder starter, this includes questions to maintain focus. The lesson then moves into an independent learning opportunity led by a hinge point question to decide the starting point for this independent task. The lesson then provides the opportunity for the pupils to demonstrate the learning via modelling a 6 mark question. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Knowledge Organisers for Biology Life Processes
These Knowledge organisers provide the basic knowledge for the topic including diagrams and key words. On the reverse of this there are some basic question and some higher order question to stretch the students.

Top 3 resources from razeitlin
Here are my 3 top selling resources in one discounted purchase.
1. Microscope technology is my best selling resource and focuses on the awe and wonder of microbiology by focusing on the species Demodex.
2. Magnification and scale is a highly differentiated lesson to compensate for students variation in mathematical ability, the lesson utilises hinge point questions to direct learning.
3. Osmosis and diffusion is a lesson that tackles difficult concepts in 3 chunks to make it achievable

4. Ofsted rated outstanding on plant and animal cells is a lesson that I was observed by a lead Ofsted inspector during a 'mocksted' . This was very well received and employs a unique remediation technique which encompasses a student led feedback.
5. Enzyme theory prior to core practical is a vital lesson in preparation for the students to sit one of their eight GCSE biology core practicals.

CB1 - Edexcel Biology topic 1: outstanding series of lessons
Bundle consists of 15 lessons on topic one of the new GCSE.
Biology - Microscope technology (Light vs electron)
This is a whole lesson including tasks and presentation.
Over arching concepts in biology.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic one of the new GCSE (to be sat in 2017).
There is a focus on a creature called Demodex, a parasite that lives in 17% of the populations skin pores. The lesson stresses the differences an advantages and disadvantages of light vs electron microscopes.
The lesson features a hinge question to determine students ability which leads into a Cloze activity for lower ability students or an open ended research task for the higher ability.

The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic one of Biology.
This lessons focuses on osmosis and diffusion with the addition of active transport. There are multiple opportunities for differentiation already built in in a bronze, silver gold format. There are two hinge point questions that offer a really good AFL opportunity. The lesson requires potassium permanganate and a deodorant can.
Biology - Magnification and scale - Lesson 8
Whole lesson including presentation and tasks.
Over arching concepts in biology.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic one Biology.
The lesson is a maths for biology focused lesson which involved a series of calculations for magnification (3 levels of differentiation) followed by a hinge point question leading into a series of calculations on scale and perceived size. The demonstrate activity is a student choice of difficulty to solve a biological problem. The lesson concluded with an exit ticket.
