This is a revision resource that covers CB1a microscopes. The resource looks at comparing electrons and light microscopes, magnification and image size. There are short quizzes that summerise the learning and a worksheet and exam question to review the topic.
Revision timetable and resource bank. To use: print and give to the students, put it up in the lab, send it home to parents or publish as an electric copy.
QR codes and hyperlinked topic titles take the students to a revision resource (mostly BBC Bitesize), on most days there is a key diagram and a selection of subtopics to revise.
This resource is designed to chunk the challenge of revision, giving students two months to revise every topic required for the mock exam that Edexcel are using to calibrate results. The calendar starts on the first of March and goes up until two days before the first exam.
Revising is a vital skill that many teachers neglect to teach their pupils. Most students struggle to plan their revision and rely on pre-exam cramming, as these students will not sit their final exam this year we need to ensure we help them retain the information. Spreading it out like this makes it an achievable challenge and will help them with long-term retention.
This lesson starts with a assessment before directing the students to different tasks depending on understanding.
This is not a stand alone lessons and should be purchased with my other CB4 resources: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/cb4-learning-outcome-sheet-exit-ticket-tracker-and-5-lessons-11420893
The lesson does require the Edexcel text books
These 12 lessons aim to engage and promote progress in year 9-10 students. From experience and due to the importance of this topic I have broken down some of the topics within the module if they are of high importance as this ensures that learning takes place. The lessons specialise in AFL which is built in at appropriate places.
The lesson starts by a summary activity of GMO before the student watch two clips of the pros and cons of GMO. The lesson evolves into a carousel style information gathering task which encourages independence and curiosity. The understanding is assessed via a hinge point question that directs the students to a differentiated worksheet. The lesson is concluded with an exam question.
The lesson starts by establishing a definition of GMO. It then moves on to reviewing a couple of videos with guided questions to promote thinking. The lesson looks to engage student in a paired research project in the exam board specific species before posing an exam question. This lesson is fine and will cover the learning outcomes however I do not believe it is worth buying, hence is listed for free. For better lessons on the same module please copy the link see below:

This lesson looks a reviewing the understanding of the students, where understanding is weak the students are directed to a customised resource with some introduction and demonstrate activity. if students have a good understanding of all areas there is an extension task of exam questions.
Topic reviewed:
CB4a: human evolution
CB4b: Darwin's theory
CB4c: classification
CB4d: selective breeding
** This is not a stand alone resource but should be purchased with ScienceMastery's other CB4 resources.
This is the entry test to CB4. The purpose of this is to assess baseline knowledge and then where students are weakest and have the least understanding the have a KS3 level introduction to the topic e.g. CB4b - Darwin's theory. The entry test bookmarks progress for the module.
This bundle contains 4 lessons and the SOW map for the topic.
This is aimed at year 6 pupils and is based on the interim assessment framework 2016.
Lesson 1: states of matter
Lesson 2: cooling curves
Lesson 3: dissolving
Lesson 4: filtering
On the Wasted Years report recommendations this is the forth lesson in a scheme of work that looks at preparing Year 6 students for secondary science. It is written by a secondary science teacher for the cross phase development program being run 2016-17. The spec is based on the interim assessment framework (IAF).
The lesson is a skills focused one with the intention of the students devising a method to filter water.
The lesson starts by identifying the key word ... cavity. The students then get to investigate how best to keep a coffee warm, this is then summarised by a worksheet. The Lesson concluded with an exam question specific to Edexcel 9-1.
This lesson has been designed to start getting motivation back into a difficult year 10 class. It is one that I did not think was good enough to list on TES premium however it is not a bad lesson.
For lessons with high quality AFL and differentiation inbuilt please view my TES shop:

The lesson starts by looking the selective breeding of the pug before a video clip looking at the selection and breeding of cows. Student then make comparisons between brassicas and the common ancestor. Student answer question based on the plant example and then show off their understanding via a worksheet with HOTS extension task. The lesson concludes with an exam question.
On the Wasted Years report recommendations this is the third lesson in a scheme of work that looks at preparing Year 6 students for secondary science. It is written by a secondary science teacher for the cross phase development program being run 2016-17. The spec is based on the interim assessment framework (IAF).
The lesson focuses on an experiment to test the solubility of sugar and salt vs the amount of stirs it takes to dissolve. There intended outcomes of this lesson are for students to be able to use lab balances, record data and have some understanding that a substance may dissolve.
The lesson starts be getting students to make associations between different organisms. There is then a teacher lead (all within the presentation) discussion about the use of 5 kingdoms and the move to the 3 domains. This is then assessed via a deep diagnostic hinge question that direct learning to the students weaker area. The lesson finished on an Edexcel specific exam question with the opportunity to review the answers, this is recorded in the exit ticket tracker.
This bundle is made up of good to outstanding lessons with in-built AFL and differentiation. CB4 is an Edexcel topic focusing on evolution and genetic modification.

The lesson is a well constructed and differentiated lesson intended for the new Edexcel 9-1 GCSE.
The lesson starts with a comparison between apes, humans and pre-humans before introducing the idea of fossilisation. There are then a couple of videos showing great apes acting in a human fashion. Students then complete a research task making a time line of human evolution. Learning is assessed before there are two differentiated worksheets to best cater for the level of need. The lesson concludes with a GCSE exam question.
The lesson starts by reviewing the WHO concerns on antibiotic resistance before looking at how it works. After students see this they prepare a storyboard on antibiotic resistance. Students then attempt an outcome differentiated worksheet before a 3 mark exam question and review of that to end the lesson.
This knowledge organiser makes and ideal in lesson help sheet or a homework revision activity. On the reverse are standard and higher progress question to ensure the learning outcomes have been achieved.
