Plant Anatomy Life Cycle Photosynthesis The Complete Module Plus Revision Lesson KS3

Plant anatomy, photosynthesis and life cycle from pollination through fertilisation and seed dispersal to germination are explained in these five engaging fully resourced lessons, each of which comes with an animated PowerPoint which makes teaching and learning very easy. This pack contains two virtual investigations. To consolidate learning there is also a quiz-based revision lesson which produces a personal revision sheet for each student.

What’s Included

Lessons

• Plant Parts
• Photosynthesis facts
• Virtual investigation 1 – does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis
• Virtual investigation 2 – testing a leaf for starch
• Life Cycle of the Flowering Plant – pollination, fertilization, dispersal, germination

Revision Lesson

• 54 PowerPoint quiz
• Answers PowerPoint
• Student answer sheet
• Fact Sheet

Each lesson comes complete with an animated PowerPoint, at least 10 printables, an answer/mark scheme PowerPoint and a suggested one-page flow-chart lesson plan which indicates where logical choices between printables enables the lesson to be totally tailored to suit the needs of your particular students. These lesson promote the development of literacy and oracy and the separate answer/mark scheme PowerPoints enable easy self and peer-assessment.

The virtual investigations take the student through prediction, planning drawing a graph and conclusion. They can be used as instructions for the student to follow to perform their own experiment or the scientifically accurate animations themselves can be used to obtain results.
