Lesson for the New National Science Curriculum 2014. Includes an activity on Euglena. Place information sheets around the room and get students to label organelles and describe function of each organelle on their task sheet. Time them at each information sheet for 2 minutes and get them to move onto the next sheet around the room with the sound of a bell. Although there is a lot of information on each of the information sheets, students need to read all of it / sift through it and pick out the function/job/purpose of the organelle. This is a skill to be learnt in itself.
Make sure you play the Titanic soundtrack in the background of your lesson. 20 minutes in the music starts to get a little dramatic so forward it

Make sure you play this soundtrack as the students come in and as they are doing the starter. Tell them they have the length of the track to complete their starter.
