Complete KS3 Biology lesson 4 KEY STUDENT OUTCOMES: Recall what antibiotics are and what they do… Describe some methods for preventing the spread of bacterial infection… Explain what is meant by antibiotic resistance and superbugs… Challenge Mission: Demonstrate (using diagrams) how superbugs proliferate. STARTER Pupils start the lessons by working together to unscramble words that lead them to thinking about what the lesson is about. Next they think about the Los and self-assess against their current understanding of this topic and undertake a scientific literacy activity. MAIN and MAIN and MAIN… This lesson is ‘chunked’ into discrete sections to support learning and create positive behaviour by keeping students interested and focused. There is a very good variety of interesting student activities such as: up and about, gap fill, matching, literacy activities, quick quiz, recall, think/pair/share, questions with answers, self-assessment and peer assessment opportunities etc etc. PLENARY Learners self assess and reflect on their progress against the lesson outcomes.

High quality, complete and ready to use lesson. For use in KS3 and for lower and middle ability groups in KS4. ‘‘LENSES, FOCAL LENGTH AND TELESCOPES’’ - STUDENT OUTCOMES: By the end of the lesson students will be able to: * Identify convex and concave lenses. * Explain that lenses cause refraction and explain what it is. * Draw a ray diagram for convex and concave lenses. * Explain how to measure the focal length of a lens. * Explain how a telescope works. STARTER Pupils will start the lessons by thinking about the outcomes presented and then self- assessing their current understanding of what this lesson is going to cover. This engages the students as they are actively thinking, and this then facilitates self-assessment of their individual progress at the end of the lesson. MAIN and MAIN and MAIN.... This lesson is chunked into discrete sections to support learning and engender positive behaviour by keeping students interested and focused. There are various student activities such as: practical / experiment, differentiated worksheet for the practical, gap fill, paired work, literacy activities, numeracy (differentiation), focused questions with answers and differentiation, quiz, homework, self-assessment and peer assessment opportunities etc. This good variety of activities keeps pupils focused and happily learning. PLENARY: In the plenary activity pupils complete an activity then peer assess it to uncover how much they have learnt during the lesson. They then self-assess themselves against the lesson outcomes.
