This lesson is based around Pokemon. Using Pokemon such as Bulbsaur and Oddish as these would have both animal and plant cells. Pupils first are given a number of Pokemon and decide which doesn't belong. They then do a literal word search for the names of the organelles in cells. Back-to-back: pupils then play back-to-back. This involves one pupils facing the board, while the other faces the other way with a mini whiteboard. The pupil facing the board describes the image that they see and the one not facing the board draws it. Give a time limit for each. Pupils then do a simple table exercise based on what they've learned from drawing the cells. Pupils then read through a song, or sing it to the Pokemon theme tune, and do the instructions on the sheet. They also label images of cells. Pupils then read through statements to decide if Euglena is an animal or plant cell. Finally, pupils complete a poster task comparing both types of cells (this can be done as a homework)

This is a Pokemon themed lesson for a low ability class. Pupils start with refreshing the knowledge of plant and animal cells. This is followed by a video, which pupils then do a task on. Pupils then collect information about 4 different unicellular organisms, from posters and QR codes on PokemonGo backgrounds (links are included if your school doesn't allow portable devices), and create Pokemon cards for each one. The comprehension booklet can then be used as a plenary, exit ticket or homework.

This is designed for a KS3 class, with a zombie theme. Pupils begin with trying to solve an anagram. They can also see how many words they can make out of the letters used to spell 'Phagocytosis'. Pupils are then put into groups to research about one of the three lines of defence. A website with links is available in the notes section of the PowerPoint, this is to direct their research. Pupils then put their posters around the room. They do an activity called "Viewing Gallery". This is used to promote discussion and talking properly. Encourage pupils to be silly with it, they will put on posh accents and because they are pretending to be posh they will speak better. Finally get pupils to create a news bulletin to bring together all the information they have learned.

This is a KS3 lesson, with a Zombie theme. Pupils start by completing a basic comprehension task. There are two available for different abilities. Pupils then are given a scenario and are asked to "Think, Pair, Share". After the discussion, a video (link in the notes section of the slide) is shown and pupils can then build on their ideas from the initial discussion. Pupils then do a Silent Sort to find out how vaccines work. The instructions are on the PowerPoint slide. Using what they have just leaned pupils use the guidance given to write a letter. Finally pupils complete a comic stripe to show how vaccines work.

This writing frame is used to help pupils practice with their extended writing questions in Science. It uses smaller steps and leading questions for pupils to be able to answer the large question that they would see in the exam. The frame include keywords that the pupils should use in their answer, a success criteria (directly from the mark scheme) and a picture in the center, either from the question itself or as a visual prompt. This is really useful for all pupils and ticks that literacy box!
