Lesson 1 of Lovestruck project on The Microscope

These resources support the first context poster of the Lovestruck Project, which is part of the JACOSA scheme.
This is a Key Stage 3 resource and covers learning on the microscope. The first part of this project is covering work in the National Curriculum on cells.
This story based learning project provides students with a compelling learning experience that is designed to put learning into context.
The posters are often used at the beginning of lessons to excite learning. Teachers can plan lessons around the story.
In this lesson, Grant attends Charles Brook High School for the first time and meets a girl called Michelle who he really likes in a science lesson taught by Mr. Goddard. The class just happens to be learning about the compound microscope.
The finding out task is a reciprocal teaching activity and the application task, often used as a homework, is an entry from Robert Hooke’s personal diary back in 1672.
I have attached a stretch activity to this bundle that can be used to help pupils achieve the mastery objective.
