You can use these images as cards to print off and then students arrange into different stages of classification. Start with the Kingdoms. Then select the Animals. Organise animals into vertebrates and invertebrates. Select vertebrates. Organise vertebrates to mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians. Select mammals. Ask them to organise cats and not cats. You can then talk about individual species.

This lesson has been designed as cover (especially for non specialist teaching), but can also be used for a normal lesson if needed. The lesson has a link to a video and a slide of information with a blockbuster style task for the class to use. No printing required, but you could print the information off. Answers included. There is a plenary activity for the end of the lesson.

Lesson and any additional resources provided for teaching specialised animal and plant cells to KS3. This is part of the first unit call cell biology based off the national curriculum. Lessons can be used as teacher led, but easy to adapt to be less so. The system we use in school is a coloured system based on the students end of year 11 target. 1 - Purple, 2 - Lilac, 3 - Dark Blue, 4 - Light Blue, 5 - Dark Green, 6 - Light Green, 7 - Yellow, 8 - Orange and 9 - Red. Lessons may include items that have now been adapted within the lesson.

Lesson one with a year 7 mixed ability group. Starter activity was looking at an image and asking what they could see, and then zooming in to see if they saw key parts of the picture. You can use the information on Word as a discovering the difference between the two microscopes (good for those following a spiral curriculum).
