Gene Mutation - Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: Topic 3, lesson 6 Gene mutation
Topic three lesson six focuses on mutations. The lesson starts by reviewing the previous learning on punnet squares. The lesson them looks at addition, substitution and deletion before some awe and wonder images of mutations in humans and animals. The students then have the human genome project briefly explained before a short practical activity and then a high level comprehension on albinism and eye colour. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
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.

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.
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.
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.
Free body diagrams - Lesson 10: Forces and Energy
The lesson starts by recapping what a force diagram is before looking at examples of force diagrams. There is the a active watch video with HOTS questions to answer. The understanding is assessed via a mini-whiteboard identification of forces. The lesson further assesses understanding with a hinge question an this leads a differentiated activity on force diagrams. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Limit of proportionality (Hooke's Law) - Lesson 9 Forces and Energy
This a core concept for Edexcel 9-1 GCSE physics. This lesson is aimed at year 8-9 however could be made course specific.
The lesson starts be acting on any feedback from the previous lesson before establishing the learning outcomes for the lesson. The teacher demonstrate the limit of proportionality with the spring and masses, there is space on the ppt for the results to be recorded and a graph drawn showing the elastic limit. students then rank their confidence before selecting a differentiated gold or silver task. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

CB5f - STI and prevention - Edexcel 2016 - Topic 5: Lesson 4 sexually transmitted disease
The lesson is of vital importance to young adults as it make students aware of the risk of unprotected sex, the lesson in also LO 5.8 on the new Edexcel 9-1 GCSE scheme.
The do it now activity is a image to inspire disgust and conversation around the topic. There is a short video clip and some active watch questions to inspire conversation. The lesson them moves to looking a facts of 7 STIs and ranking them in an arrowhead 7. There is a brief look on the prevention of the contraction of the disease and then students attempt a exam style HSW worksheet; there is an extension built into the worksheet.
Prokaryote vs Eukaryotes
Overarching concepts in biology.
The lesson requires microscopes and slides, it focuses on identify the difference between prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. The AFL component is a 10 mark hinge question this lead to a differentiated outcome depending on the score. There is an exit ticket at the end.
Lesson allows student to be independent but at the same time provides structure and fits the students needs.
CB5a - Health - Edexcel 2016 - Topic 5 lesson 1: Health
The lesson is specific the new Edexcel GCSE and part of topic 5.
The lesson starts by engaging the students in what it means to be healthy before to learning outcomes are discussed. The lesson moves to look at the WHO definition of help with memory trigger pictures to help students make associations. After this a graph is interpreted that helps establish the correlation between wealth and health, there are questions to guide thinking and HOTS questions to stretch able students.
Definitions of communicable and non-communicable disease are reviewed with students before a work sheet and a further HOTS questions stretch learning and demonstrate understanding the lesson concludes with an exam question and model answer.
Edexcel 9-1 science: Topic 5 Health and disease learning outcomes
This is the Learning Outcome sheet for GCSE Biology, Edexcel Topic 5 - Health and disease. This includes of the combined science biology spec points for topic 5, exit ticket tracker, RAG by learning outcome and entry and exit test tracker.
**This resource is not a stand alone resources, to be bought with my other Topic 5 resources.
Free body diagrams - Lesson 10: Forces and Energy
The lesson starts by recapping what a force diagram is before looking at examples of force diagrams. There is the a active watch video with HOTS questions to answer. The understanding is assessed via a mini-whiteboard identification of forces. The lesson further assesses understanding with a hinge question an this leads a differentiated activity on force diagrams. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Relative motion - Lesson 6 forces and Energy
Lesson 5 look at the concept of relative motion, it is a lesson aimed for students who are looking to study GCSE Edexcel.
The lesson starts with a review of previous learning via the RAGing of topics over the last 4 lessons. It then moves on to look at a train crash (not graphic or upsetting) an gets the students to think about what the implication of this are. The lesson swiftly moves to some animations of relative motion to encourage the students to gain an understanding via a think, pair, share activity. There is then a hinge question to direct learning and assess understanding this leads into a differentiated task either gold, silver or bronze, there is included a purple extension.
Student have the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding with a differentiated challenge question the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Resultant force - Lesson 11: Forces and Energy
The lesson start by looking at the Apollo 8 rocket taking off and introduces the huge unbalanced forces at play. The teacher then lead with a series of images of scuba divers an gives an opportunity to question the class. The lesson builds to start including numbers so the student can calculate the resultant force before the students construct meaning using a simple worksheet on force diagrams. The lesson concludes with a detailed exit ticket.
Mass, Weight and Gravity: GCSE Edexcel 9-1 foundation
More lessons in the series are available on my premium resources - ScienceMastery
The lesson starts with a series of questions to illicit prior understanding of the students. There is then an explanation of gravity and the calculations extensively modelled. After that the students get an opportunity to select from a series of tasks and opt to work, this is outcome differentiated via gold, silver, bronze tasks. The students then complete a hinge point question (AFL) that directs them to 1 of 3 differentiated tasks, there is a purple (high order thinking) task available for the students to move onto once their tasks are completed. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket and a rag of LO.
CP3c - Insulation experiment and worksheet
The lesson starts by identifying the key word ... cavity. The students then get to investigate how best to keep a coffee warm, this is then summarised by a worksheet. The Lesson concluded with an exam question specific to Edexcel 9-1.
This lesson has been designed to start getting motivation back into a difficult year 10 class. It is one that I did not think was good enough to list on TES premium however it is not a bad lesson.
