Hinge Point Questions (HPQ)

This CPD session is set to last about 20 mins. I used this technique extensively as a science teacher; both to assess misconception and to drive differentiation. The presentation includes examples from other subjects as well as the theory and justification to using them.

(1)
The lesson is specific the new Edexcel 9-1 GCSE and part of topic 5. The lesson reviews a couple of extreme examples of obesity ad obesity surgery with differentiated questions to ensure the students stay focused. They then review BMI and the problems with it as a measure of obesity. There is a brief discussion of smoking before the student answer a Hinge point question to direct learning to different tasks on a worksheet. The lesson concludes with an exam question.

Edexcel 9-1 New Edexcel GCSE - Cells and Control: Percentile charts and cell differentiation

(2)
Percentile charts and cell differentiation - Cells and Control. The lesson is part of a series of lessons that cover topic two of the new GCSE (to be sat in 2017). The lesson start by looking at why percentile charts are used, this is done by levelled examples followed by some teacher led questions. The lesson then moves on to cell differentiation that is formatively assessed with a hinge point question. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

Alleles - Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: Topic 3, lesson 4 Alleles

(0)
Topic three lesson four focuses on Alleles. The lesson starts with a review of previous learning. The lesson moves onto an independent research task to help embed meta-cognitive regulation, this is the discussed via teacher and slides to ensure pupils have understood. Understanding is assessed via a hinge point question and a bronze (mini lesson), silver (structured task) or gold task (structured open) is allocated to evidence differentiation and give the students the most appropriate task. students then get to see and exam question which is modelled on the board before the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

Topic three lesson one focuses on DNA. The lesson starts with an administrative starter ensuring that presentation is to Ofsted Standard. The lesson moves onto discuss DNA using images and key points that build on KS3. Understanding is assessed via a hinge point question and a silver or gold task is allocated to evidence differentiation and give the students the most appropriate task. The lesson gives the students the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge with and exam style question and markscheme before the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

Bundle includes Edexcel 9-1 - topic 5. This is a 10 lesson bundle of Edexcel 9-1 topic 5 Health and Disease lessons. Tracking, differentiation, assessment and AFL are build into the lessons. Lesson 0 - entry test Lesson 1 - health Lesson 2 - communicable disease Lesson 3 - spread and prevention of disease Lesson 4a - sexuallty transmitted disease Lesson 4b - chemical and physical barriers Lesson 5 - immune response Lesson 6 - antibiotics Lesson 7 - non-communicable disease Lesson 8 - obesity and BMI Lesson 9 - assessment and revision These are 'plug and play' lessons designed for ease of application and good to outstanding lessons. I am very pleased with this series of lessons as it has inspired a difficult year 10 cohort and increased motivation in science.

Variation - Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Biology: Topic 3, lesson 7 Variation

(1)
The lesson provides a definition of continuous and discontinuous variation, the students then apply their gained knowledge to a variety of graphs to identify different variation. Inbuilt into the lesson is a hinge point question, this is a string AFL device that directs learning to a distinct differentiated task. The students get an explanation with various examples of environmental and inherited variation. They then get the opportunity to show off their knowledge with two outcome differentiated worksheets. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

The lesson starts by matching the keywords to the images. The lesson then moves to review the examples of the evolution of giraffes linking each stage to the exam specification. The students then rate their confidence and move on to differentiated storyboard tasks looking at the evolution of the woolly mammoth. The lesson finishes with a 6 mark question with a mark scheme so the students can self-assess their answers.

Combined Science Edexcel 9-1: mock exam interactive revision schedule

Revision timetable and resource bank. To use: print and give to the students, put it up in the lab, send it home to parents or publish as an electric copy. QR codes and hyperlinked topic titles take the students to a revision resource (mostly BBC Bitesize), on most days there is a key diagram and a selection of subtopics to revise. This resource is designed to chunk the challenge of revision, giving students two months to revise every topic required for the mock exam that Edexcel are using to calibrate results. The calendar starts on the first of March and goes up until two days before the first exam. Revising is a vital skill that many teachers neglect to teach their pupils. Most students struggle to plan their revision and rely on pre-exam cramming, as these students will not sit their final exam this year we need to ensure we help them retain the information. Spreading it out like this makes it an achievable challenge and will help them with long-term retention.

The lesson starts by establishing a definition of GMO. It then moves on to reviewing a couple of videos with guided questions to promote thinking. The lesson looks to engage student in a paired research project in the exam board specific species before posing an exam question. This lesson is fine and will cover the learning outcomes however I do not believe it is worth buying, hence is listed for free.
