SB9e lesson from the new Edexcel Biology GCSE (9-1) all about assessing pollution. The lesson includes what indicator species are, indicator species for air pollution and indicator species for water pollution.

SB2e lesson from the new Edexcel Biology GCSE (9-1) all about the brain. The lesson includes a stem cells recap, development of the brain, structure of the brain, cerebral cortex, cerebellum, medulla oblongata and the spinal cord.

SB5l lesson from the new Edexcel Biology GCSE (9-1) all about monoclonal antibodies. The lesson includes a recap on antibodies, how pregnancy tests work, what monoclonal antibodies are, how they are made and their uses.

SB4f lesson from the new Edexcel Biology GCSE (9-1) all about tissue culture. The lesson includes a selective breeding recap, what tissue culture is, uses of tissue culture in plant breeding, the stages involved in tissue culture and the uses of tissue culture in medicine. Also included is a structure strip to help students stucture the write up to the cauliflower tissue culture practical in their books (the idea is that they stick it down the left side of their page and write the correct information in each section).

A series of lessons looking at climate change and global warming. Lesson 1: Causes- what global warming is, what greenhouse gases are, are humans the cause, deforestation and fossil fuels. Lesson 2: Effects- data about climate change, sea level rise, ocean acidification, warming oceans, shrinking ice sheets, extreme weather events, effects on health and a graph drawing exercise. Lesson 3: Solutions- what can governments do, the Paris agreement, what businesses can do and renewable energy. Lesson 4: Solutions- what individuals can do to combat climate change. There are lots of exercises and information included in each lesson and it could easily be condensed down into fewer lessons by excluding some tasks. Likewise some of the tasks could be stretched out across several lesson depending upon the time you have. All worksheets/resources needed are within the PowerPoint as hidden slides.

CB9a lesson from the new Edexcel combined Science GCSE (9-1) all about ecosystems. The lesson includes resources organisms need to live, ecosystems, populations, communities, habitats, interdependent relationships, food webs, sampling and abundance.

Series of lessons looking at ‘The Plastic Problem’. Lesson 1- looking at what plastic is, the different types of plastic and how to identify plastic objects. Lesson 2- looking at what the issues with using plastics are, plastic in the ocean and how long items take to decompose. Lesson 3- graph drawing lesson with different sets of data (differentiated by level). Lesson 4- science in the news lesson looking at different articles to do with the plastic project and analysing/summarising them. Lesson 5- looking at the solutions for the plastic problem (the four R’s).
