For more lessons designed for KS3 and KS4 please visit my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience. The lesson begins with two images, both of ecosystems, students are then asked to discuss their ideas of what the definition of an ecosystem could be. The answer is then revealed so students can check their answers and correct if necessary. Students are now given a list of key words, whilst watching a video on ecology students should try to write a definition for each of these key words. This task can be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided once complete. Next, students are shown images of three different species of woodpecker - Green Woodpecker, Greater Spotted Woodpecker and the Lesser Spotted Woodpecker. Students can each be given a woodpecker name, they then need to come up with a survival strategy - how will they survive in the same habitat as each other? The ideas from the classroom can be noted down on the board for everyone to see. The PowerPoint can then reveal that each of the woodpeckers feeds in a different part of the woodland ecosystem. This leads into the definition of an ecological niche - as a particular place or role that an organism has within the ecosystem. The next activity requires students to watch a video on ecological niches of organisms living in a watering hole ecosystem, students will need to note down the niches they observe whilst watching the video. This task can then be marked and corrected using the answers provided on the PowerPoint once it is complete. The final activity requires students to complete a paragraph by filling in the blanks, in order to summarise what was learned this lesson.

They are also asked to think of ways in which animals and plants depend on each other within an ecosystem, students can brain storm their ideas in their books. The answers will then be revealed using the PowerPoint presentation, students should check and correct their work. The next part of the lesson focuses on how changes in an ecosystem can affect animal populations, students will be asked four questions which they should discuss with their partner before writing their ideas down on a piece of A3 paper. The answers to these questions will then be revealed using the PowerPoint, so students can self-assess their work. Next, students will be shown a food web from a marine ecosystem and students will need to answer a set of questions using this food web. The questions focus on what will happen to certain animal populations if others increase/decrease/are wiped out. Students can answer these questions in their books, they can then self-assess their work using the answers provided. Students will now be given a set of information on stable communities. Students should read the piece of information and using this will need to answer a set of questions. The answers can be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided in the PowerPoint.

Once students have had chance to discuss and arrange their foods on the food pyramid, the answers can be revealed so students can check their work. Next, students are introduced to the idea of different food/drink groups: carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins, minerals, water and fibre. Students will each be given a card of information about one of these groups, they will need to walk around the room to share information with their peers in order to complete the summary table in their books. This task can be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided once it is complete. Next, students will consider how much energy different people require. Firstly, some examples will be talked through as a class - e.g. males generally need more energy than women, older people need less energy than younger people etc. Students will then complete a task to assess their knowledge on this topic, which can be marked and corrected using the answers provided once complete. Lastly, students will be introduced to the idea of a food test, they will be asked to consider which types of nutrients are present in a set of food which include: lemonade, crisps, margarine, bread & meat.

Students are asked to ‘Think > Pair > Share’ their ideas about whether these people are malnourished or not? Students should have a few minutes to discuss their ideas, before sharing the class. The PowerPoint then moves on to identify that each of the individuals are malnourished, as they are either taking on too much/too little nutrients. Students are now asked to consider how people might lose weight, students can create a mind map in their books. Once students have had a chance to discuss their ideas with the class, some ideas can be revealed so students can mark and correct their own work. This then follows into a ‘copy and complete’ task, where students should complete a set of sentences to summarise what they learned so far this lesson. This work can also be self-assessed using the mark scheme available. Students should now complete the mid-lesson progress check, which is a ‘true or false’ activity. Students are given a set of statements, they should indicate using mini whiteboards/write down their answers in their books, the answers can then be revealed for students to check their answers. Next, students are given a task which allows them to work out how much fat they are eating each week. Students can consider a list of statements, identify how many apply to them and add them up to give a rating out of 5, the higher the rating the more unhealthy their diet is. Lastly, students are asked to write a letter to a person who is overweight/obese to give them some information about the health problems which are associated with being overweight and explain some methods which they could employ to help them to lose weight.

This follows into the definition and role of the human digestive system, students now need to discuss their ideas of the names of organs present in the digestive system. After a short class discussion, students will now complete a ‘Memory Test’ task. Students will need be shown a diagram of the human digestive system with organs labelled. They will have a few minutes to memorise the names of the organs of the digestive system, the labels will be taken away and then students need to try to remember as many of them as possible, by labelling their own digestive system worksheet. This task can be self-assessed once it is competed. Next, students will be given an information sheet in pairs. Students will need to read the information sheet and using this write a description of the roles of a set of organs present in the digestive system. Once complete, students can mark and correct their work using the answers provided in the PowerPoint. Lastly, students are shown a diagram of the villi which are present in the small intestine.
