Protoctists Year 8 Lesson PowerPoint + Extensions (KS3 8Dd) Algae Unicellular Organisms topic

(1)
Full lesson PowerPoint sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about protoctists and their cellular features, with a focus on the importance of algae. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers. Also included is an ICT extension task summarising the impact that fungi, bacteria and protoctists can have on human health. I have used this previously for a full additional lesson of consolidation while delivering the unicellular organisms topic.

Microscopic Fungi (Yeast) Year 8 Lesson PowerPoint (KS3 8Db) Unicellular Organisms topic

(1)
Full lesson PowerPoint (with practical learning activities) sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about physiological processes in yeast and their uses. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers. Part of this lesson directs students to access the Year 8 Exploring Science textbook; however, it can be equally well performed using any resource that outlines how fermentation occurs in yeast. You will also need to download the free resources “8Db Microscopic Fungi”, “8Db Budding Yeast” and/or “8Db Yeast Populations” from my TES shop.
