This lesson begins by students discussing what they think the waste products of the body are, they can write down their ideas into their books as a mind map. As an extension pupils can consider which processes within the body actually release these waste products.

The lesson then moves on to identify carbon dioxide and urea as the two major waste products of the body, pupils will then be given a levelled worksheet which they can complete by using information posters either placed around the room or placed on their desks. After pupils have completed this worksheet, they can self or peer assess their work using the mark scheme provided.

The next task is an exam-style question on the work the pupils have just completed, higher ability pupils can challenge themselves by completing these questions in the back of their books and not looking at their notes. Once finished pupils can mark their work using the mark scheme provided in the PowerPoint slide.

The plenary task is an anagram challenge, pupils will need to unscramble 6 words to reveal 6 key words used within the lesson.

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 :)
