Primary Key Stage 2 - Full biology lesson on Grouping Plants
…
Learning Objectives
Describe the difference between flowering and non-flowering plants
Explain the difference between coniferous and deciduous trees
Practice using keys to identify plants
…
Lesson Includes
Starter activity (retrieval practice/recall)
Warm-up activity
Introduction to the keywords
Group reading (literacy)
Teach/Check/Practice (I do/We do/You do) cycles with tasks that demonstrate that the learning objectives have been met in student books
Opportunities for assessment for learning and independent practice
Challenge extension work for higher ability students
Worksheet (optional)
Challenge worksheet (optional)
SEND adaptations: the lesson is chunked to avoid working memory overload, blue background for Irlens, word banks are provided, text is broken up for dyslexia and a consistent format is followed for ASD. Group reading is differentiated in difficulty and keywords from previous lessons are reinforced. Learning from previous lessons is interlinked to help students catch up after absence.

This lesson is suitable for supply teaching and home learning (remote, distance or online). It is fully self-explanatory and can be delivered without specialist knowledge. Printed sheets are optional extras; the core lesson can be delivered without any printing or additional preparation. This lesson assumes that students have already covered how to use keys and pollination, however, prompts and scaffolding are given to refresh memory and allow students who were absent to participate.

This lesson is suitable for supply teaching and home learning (remote, distance or online). It is fully self-explanatory and can be delivered without specialist knowledge. Printed sheets are optional extras; the core lesson can be delivered without any printing or additional preparation. This presentation is fully editable. This lesson assumes that parts of a flower, pollination and seed dispersal have already been covered. However there is lots of scaffolding for any students who were absent or have forgotten the details.
Primary Key Stage 2 - Revision Tools for Groups and Life Cycles. The content can be split over two lessons. For a single lesson we suggest selecting two or three teach-check-practice cycles to focus on.

Revision
Key Stage 4 ~ GCSE Biology~ short lesson on the Quadrats designed to be used with a practical session or as year 11 pre-exam revision of the required practical. It is also useful for students who cannot be taken out of the classroom to complete this work in the field. In this lesson pupils will work through using quadrats. Extension questions are included on the slides and there is a pick and mix of different tasks to select from for your students. Follows the GCSE Biology AQA course.
This lesson includes:
-Title slide with learning objectives
-A starter activity
-Group reading (literacy)
-Task boxes
-A scaffolded walk through the steps of using quadrats
-A second example to practice without the scaffold
-An explanation of transects and an exercise on calculating percentage cover
-Answer slides included for self-assessment
-Suitable for remote, online, distance learning
-Suitable for supply teaching and home learning. This is fully self-explanatory and can be delivered without specialist knowledge. Discussion/extension answers are in the ppt notes.
