A really engaging and detailed lesson presentation (44 slides) and associated differentiated worksheets that looks at communicable diseases in plants and challenges students to diagnose these diseases in plants. During the lesson the students will take on the role of the “Treeage” (triage) nurse and have to direct each plant to the correct ward in the “CASUALTREE” according to the pathogen which has infected them. They will also have to explain how the symptoms which they have identified were caused and explain the future for this plant, during their time as the “Tree surgeon”. The three diseases included in the lesson are tobacco mosaic virus, crown gall disease and powdery mildew disease. There are regular progress checks throughout the lesson so that students can assess their understanding and there is a set homework included as part of the lesson.
This lesson has been designed for GCSE students but is also suitable for A-level students looking at the communicable diseases topic
