This fun and informative complete lesson covers all content from AQA specification content on ‘metabolism’. Using a detailed and engaging PowerPoint the students work their way through the content with a range of whole class quizzes, paired and individual activities. The range of challenges encourage students to learn new key words. The lesson structure challenges students to apply their new knowledge to exam style questions whilst also giving them expert exam tips. There are also some notes to support the teaching of this topic. Included in the PowerPoint & worksheet are the following activities: Begins with a warm up task - recalling biological molecules from unit 2 organisation. Thought provoking questions drawing on students prior knowledge. Differentiated tasks all in one - there are slides with clues on that will appeal to both higher level students (e.g. chemical structure of glucose) and foundation (linking biological molecules to food tests from unit 2 organisation). Differentiated ‘fill the gap’ activity, I create give me a clue sheets which contain more information (less gaps to fill) to support less able students or those with SEN. Fun guess the word before it appears and ‘say what you see’ activities. Final activity further application of lesson & linking to prior units in exam style question. The lesson should take about 1 hour but can be adapted to different timings. You should find the lesson is totally self-explanatory in that you can simply click through, and it flows through the content. My students have really enjoyed all the lessons in this unit so far, so I hope yours do too!
