Explain how the lion is adapted and how these adaptations are beneficial.
Complete exam questions. Extension question available on powerpoint.
Plenary
Mark exam question
Target for the year
target sticker for books
B13.1 variation and evolution
Aimed at a low ability class.
Starter Activity
Stick in objective sheets for this topic. Starter question what makes each person different. Extension task: why do we look different
Main –
Literacy task, focus on the key word variation: write a definition, then write their own sentence using it, then draw a picture to show the key word also
Draw a venn diagram and decide if the variation is genetic, environmental or both. Highlight what genetic means
Go through answers and discuss why students have put it there
Think, pair, share, what similarities and differences would twins have if they were separated at birth
Answer questions about twins using data provided
Plenary
Recap tick grid, which features are due to the environment, genes or both
B2.3 stem cells
aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class - worksheet from tes
Starter
What is a stem cell. Turn the picture into words – looking for key words, undifferentiated, differentiated
Main –
Watch a video, explaining what stem cells are and what they can be used for
Research task, differentiated criteria to find out about stem cells use p.30-31 in kerboodle text books, ipads
extension: worksheet with questions
Plenary
Peer assess each others work, which level do they think their partner has achieved, using the success criteria
B2.2 Growth and division
Aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class
Could do the practical - but where it falls with teaching my class this im unable to, task to use the method instead
Starter: Students discuss how cells change through the life time of a human
Go through what happens at each stage in life, students then write their own description in their books of what happens at each stage
Stretch: if cells are repaired and replaced and there are stem cells how are people paralysed
Main –
Discuss how plants grow – key words on the board, from discussion get students to write their own definitons for these words, green pen their answers
Turn method for how to clone cauliflower into a storyboard – alternatively you can carry out the practical.
Extension questions if students finish task
Plenary
Explain why a starfish is more like a plant than an animal in terms of its ability to regrow limbs
