Lesson 7 - CB4d continuation - GMO
Lesson 8 - Advantages and disadvantages of GMO
Lesson 9 - Exit test and revision
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.

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.
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.

The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
The lesson starts with a gcse biology question looking at the prevalence of TB and HIV.
The learning outcomes are then reviewed before the students attempt an independent research task looking at five communicable diseases and answering questions that lead to an understanding of the learning outcome.
Their understanding is assessed by matching question and answer card sort, included were in the download, there is a higher order question two push the top end of students. The lesson concludes with a 10 mark exam question which students record in an exit ticket tracker and rank their learning outcomes.
