CB5 Revision booklet
This is a revision resource that encourages independence and learning of key outcomes. This would take a couple of lessons to complete as there are multiple tasks to improve understanding.
CB1g Edexcel 9-1- Enzyme theory prior to core practical - lesson 14
Over arching concepts in biology.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic one of the new GCSE (to be sat in 2017).
This lesson pushes the basics of enzyme activity (denaturing, optimum pH, temperature, substrate concentration) It leads to a differentiated activity to help understanding for mid and high ability. The lesson concludes with an annotated exam question from the 2017 GCSE How Science Works questions. There is an exit tick plenary.
Natural Selection made fun
This lesson is designed to bring the fun back into a potentially dry subject. The lesson uses worms (sweets) to demonstrate how harmful and beneficial mutations alter the chances of reproduction. The lesson includes several thinking for learning activities. The lesson starts with a key word match up and finishes with an exit ticket to conclude learning.

CB2 Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: lesson 1 -5 - Stem cells, neurons, reflex arc, cancer, percentile charts
Five lessons that focus on topic two of the new Edexcel Biology 9-1 GCSE spec.
Biology - Microscope technology (Light vs electron)
This is a whole lesson including tasks and presentation.
Over arching concepts in biology.
The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic one of the new GCSE (to be sat in 2017).
There is a focus on a creature called Demodex, a parasite that lives in 17% of the populations skin pores. The lesson stresses the differences an advantages and disadvantages of light vs electron microscopes.
The lesson features a hinge question to determine students ability which leads into a Cloze activity for lower ability students or an open ended research task for the higher ability.

Edexcel Biology GCSE 2016: This is the whole of topic one 'overarching concepts in biology' this is a module that features in both paper one and paper two.
Save yourself 25-30 hours of work! Teaching, Testing, Tracking all in this one purchase.
**lesson 11 is available on my free resources
The new Edexcel GCSE Biology paper comprises of two assessment papers, paper 1 and 2. Topic one 'Over arching concept in biology' is included as a prerequisite in both papers 1 and 2. This is ideal for year 9 and 10 to lay the foundation of biological knowledge.
The 15 lessons included in the purchase are highly differentiated to cover all but the lowest SEN sets as well as pushing the higher attaining students via the purple high level questions. The Scheme of Work is build around hinge point question which lead to different activities so each student will receive a bespoke learning experience over the course of Topic One. Included in to support the 15 lessons is a assessment pack, this includes higher and foundation end of topic 60 mark exams, exit ticket tracker, tracking sheets, short answer test and key knowledge organisers. Whether purchasing to reduce your workload and improve the standard of lesson or looking at investing in an affordable high quality scheme for your department this set of lessons is a must have for any aspiring or currently outstanding teachers.

CB4 - learning outcome sheet, exit ticket tracker, assessment and 10 lessons
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.
Admin - learning outcome sheet
Lesson 0 - entry test
Lesson 1 - natural selection
Lesson 2 - bacterial antibiotic resistance
Lesson 3 - human evolution
Lesson 4 - classification
Lesson 5 - selective breeding
Lesson 6 - revision of topics covered in the SOW
Lesson 7 - CB4d continuation - GMO
Lesson 8 - Advantages and disadvantages of GMO
Lesson 9 - Exit test and revision
CB4 Edexcel 9-1- Entry test and unit introduction - Lesson 0
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.
CB4e 9-1 - The advantages and disadvantages of genetic modification
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.
CB4a-d: feedback and revision.
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.

CB9 Edexcel - Lesson 3: abiotic factors
The lesson starts with looking at oxygen and goldfish, the lesson moves to establish different abiotic factors before getting students to review there own. There are differentiated work sheets for an extended activity, the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
CB9 Edexcel - lesson 2: fieldwork
Very simple lesson with the aim of introducing the students to quadrat sampling and the calculation for working out population density.
CB6c-d - transpiration, osmosis and translocation
The lesson begins with some recall question on the previous lesson. The topic is introduced before the students attempt an independent task based on 5 stations where they engage in a Solo taxonomy style task. The lesson concludes with exam questions and mark scheme.
Forces and Energy lesson 9 - magnetic fields
The lessons starts by reviewing previous learning in the topic. It then moves on to a SOLO taxonomy task (not labelled as solo) with 5 separate tasks of increasing difficulty. Two tasks within are practical. The lesson concludes with an exit tick and a review of LO.
Genetic inheritence - Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: Topic 3, lesson 5 Genetic inheritence
Topic three lesson five focuses on inheritance. The lesson starts with a key word association. The lesson moves onto look at the most basic variation, male or female, and gives the students the opportunity to make their own observations of a punnet square.
