OCR Gateway Biology A – B5.2.3: The Theory of Evolution – Complete Lesson Resource Engage your students with this fully resourced lesson on The Theory of Evolution, designed specifically for the OCR Gateway GCSE Biology A specification (Topic B5: Genes, inheritance and selection, Subtopic B5.2.3). This digital resource includes everything you need to teach the key ideas behind evolution by natural selection, as outlined by Charles Darwin and supported by modern evidence. Perfect for both foundation and higher-tier students. What’s included: A comprehensive PowerPoint presentation aligned with OCR learning outcomes Student worksheets and extension tasks to reinforce key concepts Exam-style questions with mark schemes for targeted assessment practice Engaging discussion prompts and retrieval activities Visual aids and keyword glossaries to support understanding and literacy Key learning outcomes: Describe how natural selection leads to evolution Explain the role of mutations and variation in evolution Understand the development and impact of Darwin’s theory Evaluate evidence supporting the theory of evolution, including fossils and DNA analysis This resource is ideal for lesson delivery, revision, or flipped learning and is fully editable to suit the needs of your students.

I noticed there were very limited resources targeted towards lower-level Science GCSE and wanted to make resources that were engaging and fun. Complex information has been broken down while using questioning to stretch many of the students at a variety of levels. My PowerPoint slides include: visually appealing graphics that encourage engagement throughout a lesson ‘Do now’ activities with music to encourage fast and easy settling as the pupils arrive to lesson. Progress steps: By having the student’s track their own progress, it creates ownership of goal achievement. The graphic representation of the students’ progress can be highly motivating. If improvements are not achieved, students can reflect on what changes need to be made to the intervention plan. On screen timers that aid SEND students Peer and self-assessments (AfL) Formative assessments (exam-style questioning, linking questions) Plenary activities.

Curated for GCSE students who want to revise/learn topic CB9 Ecosystems and Material cycles. Edexcel Biology Combined Biology content – Following the Edexcel curriculum. Neatly organised and can be used in conjunction of teaching and learning in school. For me as a teacher I find these most helpful to students when I print these booklets and hand them out to my students before the start of a new unit/topic. This booklet includes the following (please read before purchasing to find out if this will be useful for you and your students!) *For each chapter, theory to be learned. Every style of past paper exam question for each chapter in the topic (found on exam wizard). Mark schemes for the teacher

Enjoy my free resource! Please rate it as it helps my shop out a lot :) I print out a few copies and cut them out ready to use for any lesson. Clear evidence of AfL if your books were ever viewed by Ofsted or SLT. Why you should download this resource: Peer and self assessment allows learners to assess both each other and their own progress. Both methods encourage learners to monitor progress, take responsibility for their own work and to help others. When used correctly it can correct mistakes and help learners develop in their chosen subject area. Peer- and self-assessment gives students the opportunity to take an active role in the ongoing and final performance of their peers and themselves in group activities. Peer- and self-assessment further encourages students to be cooperative, responsible, and productive members of a group.
