There are then the answers on the next slides for students to self or peer mark. This is to encourage memory retention over a series of lessons and has had a great impact in my classroom. Main Introduction to the keywords and then guided through some genetic crosses. Emphasis given to the correct working out that needs to be written down in order to gain ALL the marks. Students are then expected to complete any of the next tasks. If you have iPads in the classroom then I would print out the QR code scanner (See note at bottom) sheet and students can choose the PDFs to load (and save paper) and either complete on the iPads, or in their books. Answers are provided for all three activities. Activity 1 - Harry Potter genetics. Students use information from Harry Potter to get used to the punnet square approach to these tasks. Activity 2 - Moving on from Harry Potter, students have to do more work. There is a lot of repetition here so I would advise students to move on when happy. Answers are again provided. Activity 3 - Exam questions, a series of exam questions to challenge the students, with mark scheme. Plenary Students complete an EBI and WWW for the lesson Bonus The final slide contains an optional task that can be a cover lesson, or just a less teacher focused lesson. NOTE ABOUT QR CODE SHEET - The QR codes on there will NOT work, you will need to upload the PDFs to a location on your schools network and then use a QR code generator website to generate the QR codes.
