Lesson Description In this curriculum linked Biology lesson, covering infection, response and vaccinations, using the context of professional sports, we look at how and why vaccines work. Learning Objectives Describe what a vaccine is. Explain how a vaccine works. Explain how immunity through vaccination can lead to a return to sport for all. (Exploring the concept of ‘Herd Immunity’)

Lesson Summary: This lesson covers renewable energy resources, using the exciting context of the America’s Cup boat, and the changes that have occurred over the years using historic information from the Lloyd’s Register Foundation. Students are encouraged to think about the various types of energy resources, how they are generated, used and the impact they have on the environment. This resource can be shared to Google classroom via our website and is ideal for blended learning. Lesson Objectives: Identify renewable energy sources Describe the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy sources Evaluate different renewable energy resource Be aware of the arguments for and against the selection of fossil fuels, renewable energy and nuclear power Access further lessons and more FREE resources at STEM Crew National Curriculum learning: Key Stage 3 and 4 –National Curriculum teaches pupils about topics such as climate change, use of natural resources and the impact of human actions on the environment in the science programmes of study. This includes study of renewable and non-renewable energy sources in Key Stage 4 physics and the efficacy of recycling in Key Stage 3 chemistry. This enables students to study topics that will support their understanding of energy resources, including the impact of technology on developing sustainable sources of energy.

A tutor group style lesson resource designed to help students understand, normalise, and take ownership of the new control measures required on their return to school because of COVID-19. The aim is to help remove the anxiety that is likely to be felt by many students in coming back to school in a COVID world. Taking inspiration from the INEOS Sports teams and their proven team approach to delivering ZERO days lost to illness, the lesson takes students through risk assessing their own activities in relation to COVID-19 and reflecting on the need not just to protect themselves but each other within and outside the school. Learning Objectives Identify how we currently successfully manage hazards and risk in our everyday lives Know what COVID-19 is, how it is spread and how it makes us ill. Describe how we can protect ourselves and others from COVID-19. Know who we are protecting and why it is important we all adopt a team approach.

This forms part of a comprehensive package of resources to support the behavioural change required in schools as we manage the impact of COIVD-19. Intended to ease the anxiety that might be felt by some students through providing knowledge, clear practical steps and the support of key sports stars from across INEOS Sports teams. They have been using a ‘ZERO Days’ approach for years to minimise illness where it has become part of their normal everyday approach. This resource can be shared to Google classroom via our website and is ideal for blended learning. Learning Objectives: Describe how the body protects itself from disease Describe the body’s first line defences. Lesson Description In this, the third of three curriculum linked Biology lessons covering infection and response, using the context of professional sports, we look at how the body protects itself from pathogens covering the immune system and the first line of defence.

Intended to ease the anxiety that might be felt by some students through providing knowledge, clear practical steps and the support of key sports stars from across INEOS Sports teams. They have been using a ‘ZERO Days’ approach for years to minimise illness where it has become part of their normal everyday approach. Learning Objectives Explain how bacteria, fungi and protists cause illness Describe how bacteria, fungi and protists live and reproduce Compare how viruses and bacteria reproduce and make us unwell Explain how the spread of pathogen can be reduced or prevented. Lesson Description In this, the second of three curriculum linked Biology lessons covering infection and response, we cover bacteria, fungi, and protists. Students research the life cycle and how each causes illness before going on to make recommendations to the sports teams about how the risk of infection can be reduced. This knowledge is then applied to COVID-19 reduction strategies in school. The intention being to make the strong contextual link between curriculum learning and everyday life, ensuring scientific knowledge informs daily practice and behavioural change, just as it does for INEOS Sports teams.

They have been using a ‘ZERO Days’ approach for years to minimise illness where it has become part of their normal everyday approach. Learning Objectives Describe what is meant by a pathogen Describe different ways pathogens can be spread Describe how viruses cause illness Explain how the spread of pathogens can be reduced or prevented Describe how viruses live and reproduce inside cells, causing cell damage. Lesson Description In this, the first of three curriculum linked Biology lessons covering infection and response topic, we investigate what pathogens are and how they spread. Focusing on communicable disease and viruses exemplified through Coronaviruses and COVID-19. Using the professional sporting context of the INEOS Grenadiers to see how they reduced the threat of lost training and competition days due to illness through infection control and the ZERO Days program. Students carry out a hands-on practical activity to support thinking and learning around how communicable diseases are spread and the need to identify the source of an infection.

Biology: Nutrition Learning Objectives: Food stores energy which when eaten is transferred to the consumer. Each individual requires a specific amount of food depending on their energy requirement. Different food groups store different amounts of energy. Working scientifically Ask questions and develop a line of enquiry based on observations of the real world, alongside prior knowledge and experience. Make predictions using scientific knowledge and understanding. Use appropriate techniques, apparatus, and materials during fieldwork and laboratory work, paying attention to health and safety. Present observations and data using appropriate methods, including tables and graphs. Context On 12th October 2019 Eliud Kipchoge, with support from the INEOS 1:59 Performance team, broke the last great barrier in modern athletics, the two-hour marathon. In doing so he inspired others to believe that they can overcome their own personal barriers. He believes that #NoHumanIsLimited.
