The exam questions do not fit the learning objectives of the lessons and do not reflect the lesson content. There are no learning objectives on the power points and the worksheets are badly formatted. A lot of the lessons are combined ( 2 lessons from the textbook on one power point). The power point reflect more the old specification ( where the Carbon cycle and the Water cycle were in one lesson. The Water cycle should be in the same lesson with the Nitrogen cycle. The information on the power points is limited and the materials are not sufficient to fill in an hour worth of lesson time The exam questions fit only low ability, Foundation students.

Dear Mercurins,
I'm sorry you don't feel this unit represents good value. I'm sure the TES community would greatly appreciate any resources you have created and I encourage you to share them. We are all trying to achieve the same goal, namely to improve educational outcomes for our students.
This unit has been created with inexperienced teachers in mind. All the spec points are covered in a concisely designed unit.
I do not feel prescriptive LOs are helpful. I'm not clear how the exam questions don't fit these, when none are provided. Students need to understand the material covered in the exam specification. This unit delivers the necessary content.
I'm not sure which textbook you are referencing, these lessons are based on the exam specification, not a textbook.
I would say if your lessons are an hour long, you could probably double up, but it's not for me to design your Scheme of Learning.
These lessons are purposely concise so that the required material is covered in as short a time as possible, especially given this is the final module.
On the basis this unit covers all the spec points, includes handouts and exam questions, I don't feel that your review score is fair or reasonable especially at this price point.

This has saved me a fortune in lesson planning. It covers all of the exam specification points and the on-topic exam question is a great plenary task, especially for my higher sets.
