New AQA GCSE Biology scheme (2016). A lesson on the natural origin of drugs, along with the stages of modern drug testing. There is also a practical activity on testing for the effects of caffeine on reaction times to get pupils taking about how to conduct an investigation that will give them valid and reliable results. Includes a teacher powerpoint and differentiated pupil activities.

New AQA GCSE Biology scheme (2016). A lesson on how vaccines work along with how vaccines affect the health of a population. Includes a teacher powerpoint and differentiated pupil activities.

A set of revision resources for 4.2 - organisation unit (new AQA GCSE scheme of work). The download includes a checklist to enable pupils to carry out independent revision prior to the revision lesson. During the lesson, pupils are given a set of questions as a starter to assess their understanding of the topic. Their answers to these will generate a revision pathway of different activities for them to complete within the lesson. Answers are also provided so that pupils may assess their own progress throughout. The concept of the revision lesson is easily adaptable to a range of topics and subjects (some of the Biology ones can be found in my TES store). I have been observed with this lesson by Ofsted and was judged 'outstanding' (when judgements were still given) due to the high level of personalisation it offers to each pupil.

New AQA GCSE Biology scheme (2016). This lesson explains the 3 main ways in which fossils are formed. The lesson then goes on to look at the fossil record and what scientists can tell from this. Pupils also learn about the 5 causes of extinction by looking at real life examples. This lesson is accompanied by exam practice. Includes a teacher powerpoint and differentiated pupil activities.

New AQA GCSE Biology scheme (2016). This lesson covers the process of speciation and how relationships between species can be shown on evolutionary tree diagrams. The lesson is accompanied by 3 exam questions (low to high demand). Includes a teacher powerpoint and differentiated pupil activities.

New AQA GCSE Biology scheme (2016). This lesson outlines 2 main theories of evolution put forward by Lamarck and Darwin. The lesson also includes a practical activity to reinforce the idea of natural selection of peppered moths. The lesson is accompanied by 3 exam questions (low to high demand). Includes a teacher powerpoint and differentiated pupil activities.

New AQA GCSE Biology scheme (2016). This lesson covers the process of selective breeding and the potential uses and ethics of this Science. The lesson also includes a differentiated practical activity, in which, pupils must apply their knowledge of genetics and causes of variation to justify their pairings in selective breeding pairs. Includes a teacher powerpoint and differentiated pupil activities.

New AQA GCSE Biology scheme (2016). This lesson looks at the development of antibiotic resistance and how it gives evidence for natural selection. The lesson serves as a good recap on antibiotic resistance (from the 2nd unit) and builds upon this by looking at ways to reduce the spread of resistant bacteria. Includes a teacher powerpoint and differentiated pupil activities.

New AQA GCSE Biology scheme (2016). This lesson covers the stages and function of meiosis. There is also a recap on mitosis (covered in the very first unit). The lesson is accompanied by 3 exam questions (low to high demand). Includes a teacher powerpoint and differentiated pupil activities.

New AQA GCSE Biology scheme (2016). This lesson explains the key aspects of the Linnaean classification system, including the order of the groups and definitions of key terms. The lesson also explains the importance of the binomial naming system and why there are now 3 further domains in the classification groups. The lesson is accompanied by a practical, in which, pupils must create their own classification system for a new set of organisms. Includes a teacher powerpoint and differentiated pupil activities.

New AQA GCSE Biology scheme (2016). This lesson details how to draw punnet square diagrams to determine the gender of offspring. It serves as a good foundation for future lessons on drawing genetic crosses. The lesson is accompanied by 3 exam questions (low to high demand) and a set of key word match up cards (to help pupils to learn the key terms in genetics). Includes a teacher powerpoint and differentiated pupil activities.

New AQA GCSE Biology scheme (2016). This lesson details how to draw genetic cross diagrams in the context of genetic disorders. The specific disorders looked at are cystic fibrosis and polydactyl, including the genetic cause and the effects of the disorders as well as the ethics of embryonic screening. The lesson is accompanied by a Red Amber Green differentiated exam question. Includes a teacher powerpoint and differentiated pupil activities.

New AQA GCSE Biology scheme (2016). This lesson covers the process of genetic engineering in detail, which is accompanies by a cut and stick activity for pupils (this is available for free but has been included for ease).
