A Level Biology - Protein Structure - Learning Leaders Activity

The resource consists of a set of 4 source sheets (one for each level of protein structure) and a summary sheet for students to complete collaboratively.

Suggested Lesson Plan: Sort class into 4 groups and give each group access to a few copies of one of the source sheets (potentially on different colours of card with numbers on the back as pictured). Give them a post-it note and allow 6 minutes (adjust as necessary based on your own judgement) to summarise the information on their respective source sheet. Do note the primary and quarternary source sheets are conceptually easier so could be used for differentiation.

Then take in the source sheets and ask students to self sort into groups of four consisting of a person from each of the four original groups and help each other complete the note sheet. You can use time intervals to keep this moving on apace.

Combined with past paper questions to aid afl this was part of an outstanding lesson when observed.
