GCSE OCR Gateway Science Specification (Grade 9 - 1) Complete lesson (Starter, main (2 tasks) plenary) with differentiated worksheets a homework task group work a mark schemes for all tasks included Students will learn the difference between abiotic and biotic factors be able to give examples of these factors within communities and discuss the affects be able to identify examples within ecosystems

GCSE OCR Gateway Science *Specification link *(Grade 9 -1) B4 Competition and interdependence There is a lot of biological concepts to cover in this lesson (my advice would be to do Task 3 (research task) in a separate lesson and finish that lesson with some past exam questions. The biggest mistake teachers make here is they fly through this section and students mis the understanding of key terms like bioaccumulation and the examboard loves to test students scientific knowledge on the concepts covered in this lesson This lesson covers the term competition - students can watch a short clip on intrasepecfic competition terms - predation, mutualistic and parasitism relationships explained and questions to consolidate students learning term bioaccumulation explained independent research task

OCR Gateway Science (Grade 9-1) Specification Suitable for Year groups 9 - 11 This is a homework booklet I put together for the 5 lessons for combined students and 7 lessons for triple/separate biology students; mark schemes included. I photocopied it as a booklet, it was handy for picking up and marking myself rather than taking up 20-30 exercise books. My students hole punched theirs and treasury tagged it in their exercise books (also hole punched). I did not mark all sections, we peer assessed some of it in lessons using green pen.

OCR Gateway Science (Grade 9-1) Specification Suitable for **Year **groups 9 - 11 It summaries the key concepts on B4 to include Ecology, biotic and abiotic factors, interdependance, food chains, carbon, nitrogen and water cycle Triple/separate content not included. I usually get my students **to add on **this criteria Practical detail also** not included**: see my GCSE practical summaries. This revision resource: Assess students understanding on keywords in B4 and concepts Forms the backbone of their revision Student have always found these posters helpful and use them regularly when answering exam questions stuents found the layouts of the cycles very helpful; to help them memorise the cycles students would work in pair or groups of four to draw the cycles on the desks with washable marker pens. I was also able to move between group and orally check their understanding. This is excellent for a student lead activity and teacher facilitating - great as a learning walk activity

OCR Gateway Science (Grade 9-1) Specification Suitable for Year groups 9 - 11 Students will learn the difference between a natural and artificial ecosystem key terminology design their own ecosystem storyboard - my example if from ‘Finding nemo’ understand the difference between food chains and food webs Homeworks tasks also included - see my B4 Ecosystems homework FREE booklet that covers consolidation for all lesson in this B4.1 scheme of work (5 lessons for higher; 7 lessons for triple/separate Biology). The answers are also included
