KS3 Biology - Cells Topic

This bundle is a complete topic pack containing all powerpoints, student worksheets, risk assessments, stretch and challenge tasks, and answer sheets for the Biology topic “Cells”. It also contains many student-led activities on the powerpoints (particularly designed to make the learning of parts and functions of cells easier, more fun and student-led), plenary activities, and reading and literacy tasks (for specialised cells and unicellular organisms)

Bundle includes:

• Lesson 1: Observing cells with a microscope
• Lesson 2: Animal Cells
• Lesson 3: Plant Cells
• Lesson 4: Specialised Cells
• Lesson 5: Movement of Substances (diffusion) in and out of cells
• Lesson 6: Unicellular Organisms (focusing on euglena and amoeba)
