Complete No-Prep lesson with exam style questions, tasks and answers on Stem Cells for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Biology. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Biology and Combined Science Biology 4.1.2.3.
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-style 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.
The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Biology but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.

This lesson is suitable for the AQA GCSE Biology and AQA Combined Science: Trilogy course looking at Stem cells in animals. This lesson looks at what they are, where they come from and evaluating their use in medicine.
When using this resource, I would suggest that:
Students answer the ‘Knowledge Checks’ questions on Mini White Boards and without their notes – this is to act as a retrieval practice task and assess whether students are ready to move onto and learn the content of the lesson.
*The questions will appear one-by-one when presenting to allow for use with MWBs. *
The re-teach slide is positioned within each lesson to allow the teacher to immediately re-address any misconceptions or re-teach any sections that students are not able to recall from the ‘Knowledge Check’ questions.
Students answer the ‘Check for Understanding’ questions on Mini White Boards and without any notes or their exercise books open.
*The questions will appear one-by-one when presenting to allow for use with MWBs. *
The ‘Independent Practice’ questions are completed in student exercise books - with the students working silently and independently.
Answers to practice questions are included within the presentation and are revealed one at a time to help students self/peer mark their answers.

Overview:
Looking for a hands-on, exciting group activity that builds teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills? The Toxic Waste Team Challenge is the perfect solution! This versatile resource can be used in PSHE, tutor time, STEM lessons, or as an icebreaker/team-building task across all age groups (Entry Level- Level 2).
In this challenge, students must work together to safely transport a “toxic waste” container (ping pong ball) using only a suspended “transporter” device made from string and small container. The task comes with strict rules that require careful planning, teamwork, and precision — ideal for developing soft skills and encouraging creative thinking.
What’s Included:
Student-friendly task brief (simplified and visual versions)
Reflection questions for debrief and skill-building
Learning Outcomes:
Teamwork: Every member must contribute equally by holding a piece of string connected to the transporter.
Communication: Success depends on clear and coordinated communication.
Problem Solving: Students must strategise how to move the “waste” without touching restricted areas or moving feet.
Critical Thinking: Encourages decision-making under pressure with physical and mental challenges.
The Challenge Rules (Simplified for Students):
Perfect For:
Only touch the ping pong ball to load it into the transporter.
Once loaded, no one can touch the ball or transporter again.
The transporter must not touch the floor at any time.
No one may step into the marked “danger zone”.
Every team member must hold a string connected to the transporter.
After loading, no one can move their feet.
Perfect For:
Tutor time team-building
STEM enrichment days
End-of-term activities
Leadership and communication workshops
Fun class challenges with educational value
Bonus Tip: Great for both indoor and outdoor use, this activity adapts well to limited resources. It sparks discussion, laughter, and memorable learning moments.
