Blood vessels - complete lesson (GCSE 1-9)

A full, differentiated lesson based on the new AQA (B4.2) SOW. This lesson starts off with a brief video to introduce the topic and then covers arteries, veins and capillaries in detail. Student understanding is checked via a differentiated question grid challenge. Students then attempt a past paper question (9 marks) and peer/self mark. The lesson then covers double circulation and its advantages. Another PP question is used for students to apply their learning. Peer/self marking facilitates AFL. A plenary question involves students comparing the efficiency of a fishes circulatory system to our own. Again this can be self/peer assessed. Students then finally reflect on their learning progress against the learning objectives. All answers are included within the slides, and timers are used to promote pace. LO are ranked based on the new 1-9 system.
