Designed to be a first lesson with a year 7 class. I ran through all expectations and the 'five Bs'. I printed out a small copy (4 per a4 page) of the five Bs for them to glue on the inside cover of their books. I demonstrated hydrogen balloons to get them engaged and interested then asked them to answer safety questions. I then introduced the science safety passport. Students worked through the points in the passport, ticking them off (as a circus of activities). Please rate & comment as appropriate.

Year 7 lesson and activities on The Microscope. Students label the microscope and practice carrying the microscope. Students learn how to focus the microscope by looking at prepared slides of onion cells.

A year 7 lesson with a focus on animal cells and also animal & plant cell structure. Students prepare slides with their own cheek cells, then examine them under the microscope. They then compare these with the onion cells they examined in the previous lesson. Students are given the black and white version of the animal and plant cells - they draw lines to match up the correct parts of the cell. The plenary can be done as a drag and drop or as a drawing the line. Students can vote on whether they agree/disagree with the answer given. Please rate é comment as appropriate.
