SB3f lesson from the new Edexcel Biology GCSE looking at the work of Gregor Mendel including what he did, the conclusions he drew and the response at the time. One of the tasks (about 10 minutes of the lesson) involves the use of the Pearson ActiveTeach worksheets, but could easily be replaced by other worksheets/tasks

End of Year quiz for use within Science lessons towards the end of term. There are 8 Quiz rounds to choose from (I usually have the folder open on the board and let one team at a time choose which round we do). *There are several science based rounds, more loosely based science rounds as well as some generic rounds. *

SB5f lesson from the new Edexcel biology GCSE (9-1) all about virus life cycles. The lesson includes structure of viruses, virus life cycles, using bacterial lawn plates to study viruses and calculating the area of a circle. One of the tasks requires the use of a worksheet from the ActiveTeach but could be substituted with other worksheets and there is a link to an animation on the ActiveTeach

SB6f lesson from the new Edexcel Biology GCSE (9-1) all about plant hormones. The lesson includes tropisms, phototropism, gravitropism, the role of auxin and gibberellins / ethene.

SB1f lesson from the new Edexcel Biology GCSE (9-1) all about testing foods. The lesson includes an enzymes recap, the iodine test, the Benedict’s test, the ethanol test, the biuret test and how calorimeter’s work. Also included is a structure strip to help students stucture the write up to the SB1f core practical in their books (the idea is that they stick it down the left side of their page and write the correct information in each section)

CB8d lesson from the new Edexcel combined science GCSE (9-1) all about cellular respiration. The lesson includes aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration and how to measure rates of respiration using a respirometer.

Revision worksheet for the new Exploring Science 8D unit all about Unicellular organisms. Intended to be printed as an A3 double sided worksheet - has learning outcomes on reverse side to check learning against

SB6e lesson from the new Edexcel biology GCSE (9-1) all about plant adaptations. The lesson includes an investigation into leaf surface area, adaptations for increasing carbon dioxide uptake, leaf adaptations to maximise photosynthesis, adaptations for extreme environments and reducing water loss.

SB4i lesson from the new Edexcel Biology GCSE (9-1) about fertilisers and biological control. The lesson includes what biological control is, advantages and disadvantages of biological control, what fertilisers are used for and the problems of using too much fertiliser.

The Edexcel CB2 'cells and control' topic summarised on a (double sided) page. Intended for use in helping students revise for the end of topic test. Includes: - CB2a Mitosis - CB2b Growth in Animals - CB2c Growth in Plants - CB2d Stem Cells - CB2e The Nervous System - CB2f Neurotransmission Speeds I've included the PDF version so that the formatting/layout is the same on any computer and the word version if you want to adapt it and change anything.

New Edexcel Science GCSE, CB2 topic looking at Mitosis. Lesson includes looking at what mitsosis is, the stages of mitosis and looking at slides using a microscope. *All of CB2 can be found together here (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/edexcel-cb2-11282994)*

SB2e lesson from the new Edexcel Biology GCSE (9-1) all about the brain. The lesson includes a stem cells recap, development of the brain, structure of the brain, cerebral cortex, cerebellum, medulla oblongata and the spinal cord.

12.4 lesson from the OCR Biology A A Level all about plant defences against pathogens. *The lesson was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. *

SB7h lesson from the new Edexcel Biology GCSE (9-1) all about osmoregulation. The lesson includes what osmoregulation is, why water is needed, the urinary system, kidney failure and dialysis. One task towards the end of the lesson requires the use of a worksheet from the ActiveLearn but could easily be replaced by other available worksheets

CB1h lesson from the new Edexcel Science GCSE (9-1) looking at transporting substances. The lesson includes what diffusion is, what osmosis is, how water concentration is affected, the effect of osmosis on tissue mass, the potato osmosis practical, what active transport is and comparing all three methods of transporting substances.
