It touches on sexual and asexual reproduction through discussion on how different organisms reproduce. Good introduction to a topic. Please rate & comment.

Pupils are provided with examples of organisms and their environments. Pupils must then match up the correct organism with the corrext environment, by writing the organism's name in the table. Designed for an SEN year 9 class to use for revision, but could be adapted to be used for years 7 and 8, also.

AQA As Biology 2011. A set of lungs will have to be requested before the lesson if you wish to carry out the demo (although it is not necessary to the lesson). I also use a cauliflower and cut it up as a model for the alveoli. Students could also critique this model to develop their HSW skills. This lesson is designed as one half of a double lesson.

Orginally designed for a high ability year 8 group to cut and stick the organisms, drawing lines to show the feeding relationships. The blank card was left for the pupils to draw the sun, but this could be taken out/sun drawn on for the pupils depending on ability. This activity was also used with an SEN year 9 class for revision. The cards were laminated and cut out for them, as were the arrows. Pupils then sorted the cards into simple food chains and expanded as they wished - these were then noted down in their books.

Lesson plan and activities for year 7 on pregnanacy. Lesson covers stages of development in the foetus as well as new key words and diagrams. Includes an AfL plenary task.

AQA As Biology 2011. The starter is students looking at their agar plates from prev. lesson and answering the questions to elicit a response regarding optimum conditions for growth. Students apply this knowledge to work out sites of entry for pathogens. They post-its to label one another, then present their findings to the rest of the group. The 'some' outcome is discussed as a group, then students then write an answer. The final slide was printed and given to the students so that they could annotate it as it was discussed.
