A no-prep, 7-lesson science unit on **GCSE Biology (AQA 4.6): reproduction and meiosis; DNA, genes and the genome; (Triple) DNA structure and protein synthesis; genetic inheritance and inherited disorders; …plus every other element across the range — the complete coverage list is included inside the resource.

Big question: How are characteristics passed on, why does variation exist, and how do species change over time?

What’s included

• 7 × Teacher lesson plans (Word) on the 5E spine (Engage · Explore · Explain · Elaborate · Evaluate)
• 7 × Pupil worksheets in 3 differentiated tiers (Support / Core / Stretch — mapped to Foundation Higher)
• 7 × Projectable slide decks (PowerPoint, 16:9 widescreen)
• 1 × Full lab pack (Word) — investigation question, fair-test variables, household and lab equipment lists, a real risk assessment, a blank results table, and analysis + conclusion scaffolds
• 1 × Knowledge organiser (Word, A4 landscape)
• 1 × Baseline + end-of-unit assessment with a teacher answer key — plus 6 original exam-style questions with full mark schemes and command words (describe / explain / evaluate / calculate)
• Hand-coded diagrams with clear labels for the unit’s key ideas — never AI-generated
• Original illustrations for every phenomenon hook
