I taught this during an observation and was given an outstanding grade. This an adapted SOLO taxonomy lesson, it runs completely independently and pupils work out everything for themselves. The first task is a jigsaw-like puzzle with enzyme and substrate fitting together, pupils used this to then answer the first task of which enzymes fit which substrates, from this they are able to describe the active site. Task two pupils identify which molecules make up proteins, carbs and lipids and answer why starchy bread becomes sweet. Task three pupils read through a short passage and interpret a graph to understand what is meant by the term optimum temperature. Finally the genius task relates enzyme function to body temperature. Everything needed for this lesson is included.

The lesson focuses on red-light shift as evidence for the Big Bang. It recaps on waves and the Doppler effect but is also suitable for the first time teaching the Doppler effect. The idea of red-shift is taught in an engaging way, peoples have to look at galaxies and are given their distances from earth and their spectral pattern and work out for themselves what the data is showing, theory then follows. Includes work booklet for students, powerpoint and a help sheet for those who are struggling.

Everything needed to teach a lesson on bacteria and yeast, includes practical activity of making a bacteria colony and engaging listen and draw activity, worksheet included. Aimed at GCSE and taught to a middle ability set, includes extension/higher activities.

Everything you need to teach microscope calculations, this is also a useful practice for mathematical conversion of units. Originally created for Edexcel GCSE new curriculum (2017). Includes a starter activity which recaps knowledge of cells, also includes an engaging bingo activity for students and a TABOO plenary of the keywords.

Lesson on plant and animal growth. Everything you need to teach this lesson, includes a literacy based activity which pupils find engaging, TABOO plenary included.

Full ecosystems SOW, lessons and worksheets. Very engaging, full of literacy, maths, stretch and challenge and differentiation activities. Lessons included are: variation, numerical data variation, adaptations, how do organisms affect their environments, food chains and pyramids of biomass. It is used for our KS3, however I have also used these lessons for GCSE science too. My adaptations lesson was rated outstanding and is available to buy separately.

I taught this lesson for my interview and was told it was outstanding. It’s a year 7/8 lesson but may be adapted for lower year 9/10 sets. The lesson is an adapted SOLO taxonomy lesson, instead of the SOLO symbols and terms I used numbers 1, 2 and 3 and got pupils to stick a post-it note with their name on it on each number and collect the task under it. When they have completed the task, pupils are free to move onto the next task independently, when every post-it note leaves each number I stop the class and we self-assess together. Completely differentiated throughout, constant progress checks and totally independent. Worksheets included.

This is everything needed to teach the process of transpiration and the function of xylem. The lesson begins with an engaging activity in which students work in groups to try to create a giant drinking straw to mimic a giant redwood, from there they learn about xylem and transpiration and the lesson ends with a literacy based activity. Worksheet and plan included.

I taught this as an adapted SOLO taxonomy lesson, I have numbers 1, 2, 3 and the word genius on A3 sheets around the room. Pupils put their name on a post-it notes and stick it to the task that they are currently completing, lift the worksheet and when completed move on to the next task independently. This is suitable for A-level biology as an introduction to or recap to protein structure, it is also suitable for BTEC Applied Science the biochemistry module.

GCSE biology, the lesson includes 3 differentiated worksheets on interpreting growth data. Lesson also compares growth in animals and plants. Self-assessment throughout.

Everything required to teach animal, plant and bacteria cells for the first time or for a recap. The bundle includes two powerpoint lessons and 7 worksheets. This was created for the new 2016 curriculum for Edexcel, but being such a fundamental concept it can taught for any exam board. Engaging activities and Taboo key word plenaries.
