This lesson is designed for the Activate KS3 Science Course, specifically Year 7 B1.1 Module on ‘Cells’

For more lessons designed for KS3 and KS4 please visit my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience.

This lesson begins with an introduction to two unicellular organisms - euglena and amoeba. Students can also watch a video to demontrate the motion of an amoeba cell.

The main task involves students completing a set of tasks using information sheets on amoeba and euglena cell structure, function and reproduction. Students should work their way through the tasks, once this is complete they can self-assess their work using the mark scheme provided.

Next, students should summarise what they have learned during the lesson by completing the fill-in-the-blank task, the answers to this task are included in the PowerPoint so students can self-assess their work once it is complete.

Lastly, students will need complete a ‘Key Word Bingo’ activity, they will need to choose 6 words from the list provided. The teacher then reads out a definition, if this definition matches one of the words written down then it can be crossed out. First student to cross all 6 words from their books/grids shouts bingo!

The plenary task is a 3-3-1 reduction - students will write down 3 facts, 3 key words and reduce this to 1 key word from the lesson today.

All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)
