Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Cell Specialisation and Differentiation for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Biology. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Biology / Combined Science 4.1.1.3 and 4.1.1.4
As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions.
My lessons are designed to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy.
What’s Included:
• Teaching notes
• Starter / Do Now Activity
• Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams.
• Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers.
• Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards.
• Answers for all questions
• All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons.
• Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing.
The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Biology but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.
