KS3 Biology - Cells Topic

6 Resources
This bundle is a complete topic pack containing all powerpoints, student worksheets, risk assessments, stretch and challenge tasks, and answer sheets for the Biology topic “Cells”. It also contains many student-led activities on the powerpoints (particularly designed to make the learning of parts and functions of cells easier, more fun and student-led), plenary activities, and reading and literacy tasks (for specialised cells and unicellular organisms) Bundle includes: Lesson 1: Observing cells with a microscope Lesson 2: Animal Cells Lesson 3: Plant Cells Lesson 4: Specialised Cells Lesson 5: Movement of Substances (diffusion) in and out of cells Lesson 6: Unicellular Organisms (focusing on euglena and amoeba) Lesson Objectives: Lesson 1: Observing Cells Name the parts of a microscope Describe how to use a microscope to observe very small objects Calculate the total magnification used to observe an object View and focus objects under a microscope Lesson 2: Animal Cells State what a cell is Name the different parts of an animal cell Describe the function of each part of an animal cell Use a Microscope to view animal cells (cheek cells) Lesson 3: Plant Cells Identify parts of a plant cell from a diagram Describe the function of each part of a plant cell Compare the similarities and difference between an animal and plant cell Use a microscope to view plant cells (pond weed) Lesson 4: Specialised Cells Know what a specialised cell and an adaptation is Give some examples of specialised cells Identify and describe the adaptations of some specialised cells Explain how an adaptation makes a specialised cell good at its function Lesson 5: Movement of Substances in and out of cells Name some substances that move into and out of cells Describe the process of diffusion Describe examples of diffusion in cells **Lesson 6: Unicellular Organisms ** Know what a unicellular organism is Name 2 examples of unicellular organisms Describe the features of an amoeba Describe the features of an euglena

KS3 - Forces Bundle

6 Resources
This bundle is a complete topic pack containing all powerpoints, student worksheets, challenge tasks, plenary activities, and answer sheets for the KS3 Physics topic “Forces”. It also contains many specially selected student-led activities on the powerpoints (particularly designed to make teaching the concepts of forces, fields, resultant forces, and weight, easier, more fun and student-led). There are also self-completing slides where answers can be clicked and move into the correct place (great for distance learning students and cover lessons). This bundle contains the following lessons: Forces Drawing Force Diagrams Hooke’s Law Drag and Friction Fields Calculating Weight Balanced and Unbalanced Forces Lesson objectives/outcomes: Lesson 1 – Forces Students should be able to: • Explain what forces are • Compare different types of forces • Describe how to measure forces and give the unit of force Lesson 2 – Drawing Force Diagrams Students should be able to: • Describe how forces are represented • Identify the direction a force acts on an object • Draw and/or label force arrows on diagrams for simple example Lesson 3 – Hooke’s Law Students should be able to: • Describe how forces deform objects • Describe how solid surfaces provide a support force • Investigate and use Hooke’s Law • Take accurate measurements • Plot a graph • Draw a line of best fit on a graph Lesson 4 – Drag and Friction Students should be able to: • Describe the effect of drag forces and friction • Explain how drag forces and friction arise • Describe how drag forces and friction can be reduced • Measure force using a newton meter • Record data in an appropriate table • use my observations to make a conclusion Lesson 5 – Fields Students should be able to: • Describe what a “field” is • Describe the effects of fields Lesson 6 – Calculating Weight Students should be able to: • Describe the difference between weight and mass • Calculate the weight of an object • Explain why weight is different on different planets • Convert units • Calculate values using a calculator Lesson 7 – Balanced and Unbalanced Forces Students should be able to: • Describe the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces • Explain why objects are in equilibrium • Explain the changing motion of objects • Calculate resultant forces in one dimension

KS3 - Levels of Organisation

7 Resources
This bundle is a complete topic pack containing all powerpoints, student worksheets, risk assessments, stretch and challenge tasks, and answer sheets for the Biology topic “Levels of Organisation”. It also contains many student-led activities on the powerpoints (particularly designed to make the learning of parts and functions of organs/joints etc… easier, more fun and student-led), plenary activities. There are also interactive slides to demonstrate concepts (e.g. gas exchange) as well as self-completing slides where answers can be clicked and move into the correct place (great for distance learning students and cover lessons). Bundle includes: Lesson 1: Tissues and Organs Lesson 2: Organ Systems Lesson 3: Gas Exchange Lesson 4: Breathing Lesson 5: The Skeleton Lesson 6: Joints Lesson 7: Muscles Lesson Objectives: Lesson 1: Tissues and Organs Define the terms “tissue” and “organ” Identify some of the key organs in the human body Identify some of the key organs in plants Describe what some key organs do Lesson 2: Organ Systems Define the term “organ system” Identify some of the key organ systems in the human body and what they do Describe the hierarchy of organisation in a multicellular organism Lesson 3: Gas Exchange Name the key parts of the lungs Define the process of gas exchange Describe how parts of the gas exchange system are adapted to their function Compare inhaled and exhaled air WS: Read data from pie charts and draw conclusions Lesson 4: Breathing Describe the physical changes that occur when a person inhales and exhales Describe a method used to estimate lung volume WS: Measure lung volume WS: Correlate and analyse data from a practical experiment to draw conclusions Lesson 5: The Skeleton Label some of the main bones in the skeleton Describe the structure of a bone Describe the functions of the skeletal system Lesson 6: Joints Name and give examples of the types of joint found in the human body Describe the role of joints in movement Label the structure of a joint Carry out the dissection of a joint Lesson 7: Muscles Describe what a muscle is and give some examples Describe how muscles cause movement in the body Describe how antagonistic muscles control movement at a joint WS: Investigate the strength of muscles
