8Ba: Classification and Biodiversity
Lesson 1- Classification (5 kingdoms, classification and classification key, binomal names)
Lesson 2 - Biodiversity (Biodiversity why it is important and sampling)
8Bb Types of reproduction
Lesson 3 A AND
Lesson 3B- Types of reproduction (asexual and sexual reproduction, inherited variation, advantages and disadvantages)
8Bc Pollination
Lesson 4 - Pollination (Parts of a flower and uses, pollination, fertilisation and evaluate pollination types)

Do a demo of the microscope, show the pupils each part and what it does, show them how to set it up on the smallest magnification.
Ask them to set the microscope up and read what is written on the paper and write it in their books (they are learning targets for them to write down, there are 3)
Quick quiz on parts of microscope, pictures on slides 1-10 in books, multiple choice answers.
