Written for AQA Trilogy GCSE. Focuses on Measles, HIV and Tobacco Mosaic Virus. Slide 2 is a learning framework for the lesson. Slide 3 focuses on how viruses enter cells in order to replicate. Slides 4 & 5 provide visual aid whilst you explain about the variety of viral structures. You then need an up to date text book which will provide the information needed to answer questions on slide 6. Answer all questions for each disease. (Red questions aimed at LAPS, green questions aimed at MAPS and purple at HAPS.) Work sheet 2xA5 on one A4 sheet. Use three colours of highlighter pen, one for each virus. Use as a plenary or as a starter for the next lesson to assess understanding.

Numeracy lesson to support the maths needed for science, particularly cell biology. A5 ws are the same as slide 10 in the presentation. Answer sheet also supplied. I have done a slide on ‘Orders of Magnitude’ separately so that it can easily be slipped in as an extra linked activity or it could be done as a starter for another lesson. Do with AQA Trilogy in mind.
