The lesson starts with an introduction to the main functions of the female and male reproductive systems. This then leads into a task whereby students will firstly watch a video on the structure of the female reproductive system, during which they will need to label a diagram. After this, students will watch a video on the structure of the male reproductive system, again students will need to label a diagram whilst watching this video. Students can then mark their work using the mark scheme provided.
Next, students will each be given a card of information which describes the function of one part of either the male/female reproductive system. Students will need to walk around the room and share information with each other to complete their own table to summarise each of these functions. The mark scheme for this task is also included so students can either self assess or peer assess their work.
The next activity is a progress check task, students will answer a set of levelled questions based upon what they have learned so far this topic. Once this task has been completed, students can mark and correct their own work.
Lastly, students will complete an activity whereby they will be required to match the correct reproductive structure with it’s function, students can self-assess their work once complete, using the answers provided.
The plenary task is an anagram challenge - students should try to unscramble the words to reveal 6 key words learned over the last two lessons on adolescence and reproductive systems.

This lesson begins with a recap on the stages involved in fertilisation, students will be asked to rearrange a set of sentences into the correct order to correctly describe the process of fertilisation.
Seed dispersal is now introduced, firstly students are asked to consider two questions - why the parent plant wants to disperse seeds away from itself and what are the main methods of seed dispersal that we already know of. Students can discuss the answers to these questions in pairs before feeding back into a class discussion, the answers to these questions can then be revealed.
Next, students will be given a worksheet of questions and will then watch a video on various methods of seed dispersal. Students will need to answer the questions whilst watching the video, the mark scheme for this task is included in the PowerPoint for students to self-assess their work once it is complete.
The last task is a progress check, whereby students will need to copy and complete a paragraph which describes the importance of seed dispersal. Students can either peer-assess or self-assess their work using the answers provided once this is complete.
The plenary requires students to create three quiz questions to test their peers knowledge of what they have learned so far this lesson.

Students will need to ‘Think > Pair > Share’ their ideas about how plants receive their minerals. After a short class discussion, students will be shown a diagram which demonstrates how mineral ions are taken up by the plant.
Students will now watch a video, this video will go through some of the symptoms of different mineral deficiencies. Whilst watching the video, students will need to note down these symptoms. This task can be marked and corrected against the mark scheme provided once complete.
The next part of the lesson will focus on farming methods, students will each be given a different bit of information on a method employed by farmers to increase crop yield.

Once students have had chance to discuss and arrange their foods on the food pyramid, the answers can be revealed so students can check their work.
Next, students are introduced to the idea of different food/drink groups: carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins, minerals, water and fibre. Students will each be given a card of information about one of these groups, they will need to walk around the room to share information with their peers in order to complete the summary table in their books. This task can be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided once it is complete.
Next, students will consider how much energy different people require.

In groups, students will be given cards of information on different organisms and the reasons why they are being pushed to extinction. Using this information students will need to complete a table of information to include 5 different organisms which are now extinct.
Lastly, students will consider ways in which scientists are trying to prevent extinction. Each student will be given some information about the role of a gene bank, examples include: pollen banks, seed banks, cryobank & a tissue bank. They will then need to move around the classroom, sharing information with each to complete a summary table. This task can the be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided in the PowerPoint.
