New Edexcel Science GCSE, CB3 topic looking at Alleles. Lesson includes looking at chromosomes, genes, alleles, homozygous/heterozygous, phenotype/genotype and punnet squares. *All of CB3 can be found together here (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/edexcel-cb3-11291549)*

A collection of 3 lessons looking at the Science of Superheroes and students designing their own superhero. Used with year 7 students, but could be used for the rest of KS3 and higher up KS2. All worksheets are included within the PowerPoint (as hidden slides, that just need printing off). Lesson 1: Starter-listing superheroes and thinking how we can group/classify them. Activity- look at origins of powers, types of powers and features to think about in designing a costune. Introduce task of designing a superhero, start some rough planning work. Plenary- thinking how magnetic powers might be useful in day to day life. Lesson 2: Starter- true or false activity about real life 'superpowers'. Activity- designing superhero, thinking about powers and origin of powers. Plenary- what does groot need to grow/survive. Lesson 3: Starter- peer assess each other work around the classroom using post it notes, then making some improvements. Activity- A story/cartoon strip about an accident in the lab where their superhero is first on the scene. Plenary- answer the questions before magneto pulls the objects to him (questions could be changed to cover topics done recently).

The Edexcel CB4 'natural selection and genetic modification' topic summarised on a (double sided) page. Intended for use in helping students revise for the end of topic test. Includes: - CB4a Evidence for Human Evolution - CB4b Darwin's Theory - CB4c Classification - CB4d Breeds and Varieties - CB4e Genes In Agriculture and Medicine I've included the PDF version so that the formatting/layout is the same on any computer and the word version if you want to adapt it and change anything.

CC4a lesson from the new Edexcel Science GCSE looking at Elements and the Periodic Table. Including; how elements are sorted in the periodic table, what Mendeleev did and predicting properties of elements.

The lesson includes what non-communicable diseases are, types of non-communicable diseases, what malnutrition is, examples of deficiency diseases, the effects of alcohol on the body and looking at alcohol data and the effect on society.

Revision lesson for CP2 in the new Edexcel Science GCSE. The lesson uses Disney characters for the basis of 15 questions, intended to be printed and placed around the room to get them moving around as they revise through answering the questions. The topics covered are: CP2a Resultant Forces, CP2b Newton's First Law, CP2c Mass and Weight, CP2d Newton's Second law, CP2e Newton's Third Law, CP2g stopping Distances and CP2h Crash Hazards. *None of the question cover the higher tier content* Also included is a sheet to fill in with answers, a sheet with the answers filled in and all the learning outcomes for CP2 (to be used in the starter).

CP2f lesson for the new Edexcel science GCSE, looking at momentum. The lesson includes what momentum is, how to calculate momentum, momentum and acceleration and momentum and collisions.

CP9h lesson for the new Edexcel combined science GCSE (9-1) looking at transferring energy by electricity. The lesson includes an energy stores/transfers recap, direct current, alternating current, mains electricity and power ratings.

14.5 lesson from the OCR Biology A A Level all about coordinated responses. *The lesson was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. *
