Lesson 1: Microscopes Lesson 2: Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes Lesson 3: Organelles in eukaryotes Lesson 4: Organelles in prokaryotes Lesson 5: Plants and animal cells Lesson 6: Cell specialism Lesson 7: Plant adaptations Lesson 8: Magnification and Scale Lesson 9: Enzymes experiment Lesson 10: Enzymes problem based learning

The lessons below are rated outstanding by the school. The lessons are highly differentiated and learning is directed via AFL. Lesson 0 - entry test and Admin for module Lesson 1 - forces basics Lesson 2 - contact and not contact forces Lesson 3 - redraft for success AFL lesson Lesson 4 - testing friction Lesson 5 - DIRT on friction and previous learning Lesson 6 - Short answer AFL test Lesson 7 - Mass and weight Lesson 8 - magnetism Lesson 9 - magnetic fields

The lesson is highly differentiated and focuses on allowing the student a degree of choice as to which tasks to complete. The lessons starts with a DO it Now activity which has two options for the students to choose, an easy and a harder, this demonstrates stretch and challenge. The central activity to the lesson get the students up and reviewing different forces and coming up with examples. Knowledge is shown via a Blooms pyramid activity. The lesson finishes in an exit ticket.

The lesson requires microscopes and slides, it focuses on making comparisons between plant and animal cells and assesses this in a 6 mark question, this is to be self-assessed with and mark scheme (foundation and higher lessons attached as a formative feedback activity. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket. With in the download there is a information sheet on plant, animal and prokaryote cells and a differentiated exam question with the mark schemes on the back to encourage resilience for t

The lesson is a maths for biology focused lesson which involved a series of calculations for magnification (3 levels of differentiation) followed by a hinge point question leading into a series of calculations on scale and perceived size. The demonstrate activity is a student choice of difficulty to solve a biological problem. The lesson concluded with an exit ticket.

Enzymes higher level lesson based around nutrition (written by Nutrition major) The lesson start with a key word match up to overcome difficulties in language. This is followed by a video with questions to provide an active watch for the students. The lesson assesses learning via a hinge point question and the students move on to attempt a differentiated task. The task looks at various illnesses induced by enzyme deficiency, there are corresponding question to assess the understanding. The

The lesson starts with a presentation focus to ensure the students show pride in their work. It then moves in to introduce the main cells of the lesson: cilliated epithelial, sperm and egg. After a brief introduction to these there is a ten minute Kagan activity where students can gather information about the cell before sharing with their group. This rolls into a true or false hinge point question to direct learning via differentiated association squares. The learners solidify their understandi

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.

The lesson start by looking at variety in plants, this case study in the venus fly trap. There is then a hinge point question to decide the starting point for the SOLO taxonomy task; this starts with basic key word match up and finishes with adaptations of cacti and stomata. This includes both the ppt and the SOLO work sheet.

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.

The lesson requires microscopes and slides, it focuses on identify key organelles in prokaryote cells. There is a differentiated activity to help the students build ideas, this focuses on the dangers as well as key organelles in bacteria. This is followed by a new spec exam question. There is an exit ticket at the end.

This Outstanding format is a great way to engage student is self assessment rather than the meaningless and superficial marking that arbitrarily occurs 3-4 times per semester. Make formative assessment count! The lesson start by a think - pair - share activity to engage student in what it mean to be successful. The lesson then explains what a 6 mark question is in the new Exam. There is then a hinge question which assesses prior understanding and differentiated the question for the next task.

The lesson requires a print out of some of the slides to enable the students to gain the information in a engaging and discovery led way. The students develop their ideas with a differentiated activity before attempting the same exam question to demonstrate their knowledge. There is an exit ticket at the end. The lesson embeds high quality student led learning and matches the learners' needs via differentiated activities.

The lesson start by establishing what the student know already about distance time graph. The lesson then moves onto modelling how to calculate speed from several examples on the graph. As an AFL opportunity there is an inbuilt hinge point question, diagnostic of understanding. The outcome of the HPQ directs student to a gold, silver or bronze task all based on the same graph. The students demonstrate their knowledge by drawing their own graph with an extension task if needed. The lesson conclud

This is a constructive observation/ practical lesson that offers the student the choice of task as to gain a better response and effort from the child. The lesson starts with a review of how homework help exam performance, it then moves on to the students identifying for themselves what 3 things a force can do to a lump of Plasticine. The lesson swiftly moves to another independent identification of 8 key forces via a differentiated worksheet. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

The lesson starts by getting student to make the link between amylase and sugar. Three Key definitions are reviewed before a table and colour scale is given out. The students then experiment with amylase, the method made clear. They then demonstrate their understanding with a graph before reviewing learning with and exit ticket.

The lesson is aimed at early Grade 5,6,7 as a foundation to later progress. The Do it Now task is a review and identification of forces that should have been learned in previous lessons. The experiment is then demonstrated for the students before the students get the chance to perform and record their own results in a differentiated results table (one just has to have numbers recorded the other as place to work out averages for more mathematically able students. The students are then required t

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 module. 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 s
