Section 2. Cells. 3.4 Eukaryotic cells Year 12 Biology

Lesson plan and activities to achieve the following learning objectives:

1) Describe the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells - starter: guess the organelle from a series of images that make up each syllable

2) Explain the structure and function of all the different organelles that form the eukaryotic cell ultrastructure - label ultracellular structures of an animal; table of structures and functions with core and extension questions where pupils read about one organelle then teach each other; making cells using plasticine; group essay/challenge with 10-mark QWC exam question - mark scheme included

3) Summarise the differences in ultrastructure between plant, animal, fungi and algae cells - homework task to create a table to compare the similarities and differences in the organelles and structures found in plant, animal, algae and fungi

Finishes with a pupil self evaluation task where they reflect on their learning objectives and identify their corresponding grade.
