Biology
Osmosis, diffusion and active transport
The lesson make much use of AFL and directs students to the most appropriate task.
The lessons starts by describing different situations that diffusion takes place in. The understanding is then assessed by a hinge question with differentiated task as the outcome for this. The lesson moves on to discuss osmosis before assessing understanding and directing students to the most appropriate task. Active transport is reviewed before learning is concluded with an exit ticket.
CB1h - revision - transporting substances
The lesson starts by establishing what exam success looks like before an independent learning opportunity in which student research questions based on the hand-out slides (in the ppt). The lesson finishes with an exam question and markscheme.
This lesson is aimed at promoting independence and assumes the students have already covered the content.

Lesson 1 - ecosytems
Lesson 2 - fieldwork
Lesson 3 - abiotic factor
Lesson 4 - biotic factors
Lesson 5 - core practical

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.
Stem cell - Edexcel 9-1 New Edexcel GCSE - Cells and Control: Lesson 5 - stem cell theory and ethics
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 the theory of stem cells. This is assessed by a hinge point question followed by an extended differentiated task. The second part of the lesson looks at the ethics and difficulties of stem cells. This is build around a silent debate. Both the first and second lesson conclude with an exit ticket.
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.
Bundle
CB8 Exchange and transport in animals Edexcel 9-1: SA:V, heart, lungs, diffusion and respiration
CB8 is a paper two topic and these lessons require some dissections.
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.
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.
Edexcel GCSE: Lesson 13- Calorimetry
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 is a practical lesson looking at how the energy in food can be measured. The lesson focuses on the different between the energy density in developed vs developing countries. The lesson concludes with a 6 mark GCSE question that can be teacher of peer assessed. There is an exit ticket on the end of the lesson.
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.
Communicable diseases - independent activity and exam question
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.
There is a model answer to the ten mark exam question included to ensure consistency for the students.
Bundle
CB5 - Health and Disease - Edexcel 2016 (assessment, tracking and lessons)
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 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.
The spread of disease - discussion and essay self-assessment.
The lesson start by engaging the students with a guess the LQ activity. The students then are guided through producing a mind-map of the spread and prevention of the exam spec diseases before they attempt a 6 mark question. As a class they review the mark scheme self assess their own work and redraft to perfect there answer.
STI and prevention - Lesson to inspire and inform the most in need of education.
The lesson is of vital importance to young adults as it make students aware of the risk of unprotected sex.
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.
CB4b Edexcel 9-1- Antibiotic Resistance - Lesson 2
The lesson starts by reviewing the WHO concerns on antibiotic resistance before looking at how it works. After students see this they prepare a storyboard on antibiotic resistance. Students then attempt an outcome differentiated worksheet before a 3 mark exam question and review of that to end the lesson.
