DNA - Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: Topic 3, lesson 1 DNA
Topic three lesson one focuses on DNA. The lesson starts with an administrative starter ensuring that presentation is to Ofsted Standard. The lesson moves onto discuss DNA using images and key points that build on KS3. Understanding is assessed via a hinge point question and a silver or gold task is allocated to evidence differentiation and give the students the most appropriate task. The lesson gives the students the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge with and exam style question and markscheme before the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

Whether purchasing to reduce your workload and improve the standard of lesson or looking at investing in an affordable high quality scheme for your department this set of lessons is a must have for any aspiring or currently outstanding teachers.
Biology - Microscope technology (Light vs electron microscopes)
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 module.
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.
Biology - Three domains of life
This is a whole lesson with tasks and presentation.
The lesson looks at a difficult and new concept 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.
Biology - Osmosis, diffusion and active transport
This is a whole lesson that includes worksheets and a presentation.
Over arching concepts in biology.
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.
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.
Biology: Natural selection made fun and engaging.
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.

CB2 Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: lesson 1 -5 - Stem cells, neurons, reflex arc, cancer, percentile charts
Five lessons that focus on topic two of the new Edexcel Biology 9-1 GCSE spec.
New Edexcel GCSE - Topic two - Cells and Control: Lesson 2 Cancer
This is a hard hitting lesson on cancer that is a core part of Edexcel GCSE 2016- Cells and control. The lesson start by getting the student to guess what is is about, it is a conversation led lesson that engages the students in a potentially emotional content. The lesson includes both the theory and some of the ethical considerations about smoking and advertising. The main task involves the students answering questions on the discussed topics before the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

Top 5 resources from razeitlin
Here are my 5 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.

Life Processes Biology - 5 lessons + knowledge organiser
Here are a few highlights from the Life Processes module.
Included are: parasitism, pyramids of biomass, food webs, the lung and natural selection + a extremely high quality knowledge organiser with differentiation progress questions on the reverse.
Life Processes Lesson 9- Food webs
The lesson is based on Edexcel 2016 GCSE content and is vital that the younger year have an appreciation of GCSE requirements. This is a KS3 resource that can be adapted for GCSE.
The Do it now task assesses prior learning about food chains and energy transfer. The lesson then goes on to get the students to think, pair, share their ideas of how to make a food chain. There is a hinge point question to direct learning and then the students then attempt a food web with a series of animals. The student can then rate their confidence and choose either a gold or silver task with a food web differentiated question. The lesson concludes with an 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 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 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.
