Lesson plan and activities covering useful microbes and conditions for microbial growth. Includes a simple practical activity around the rising of bread and the conditions needed for the growth of yeast cells.

Students start by matching famous parents with famous children (most do get correct answers!). Then a discussion on how they did this an dhow characteristics are inherited. It touches on sexual and asexual reproduction through discussion on how different organisms reproduce. Good introduction to a topic. Please rate & comment.

Lesson and activities for AQAs B1.1 Antibiotics. Designed for a SEN class with MLD.

Lesson plan and activities for AQAs B1.2 Carbon cycle. Any page references are for OUPs 'AQA GCSE Science&' book - ISBN 978-0-19-913583-7. With the animated ppt slides, I ask students to use mini-whiteboards to fill in names of carbon stores and processes as we go along.

NEW KS3 Smoking - Based on the Acitvate SoL - This lesson covers: - Smoking and its effects on the body This lesson contains: -Powerpoint file (whole lesson) - Card sort activity (adapted from another resource)

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.

AQA As Biology 2011. Instructions are provided in the notes section of the powerpoint slides. Designed as the second part of a 2-hour double lesson. All questions with reference to the student textbook is with regards to Nelson Thornes AQA As Biology. Please rate & comment as appropriate.

Revision lesson for year 8 students on microbes and disease. Includes a key word grid used for bingo, where the definition is given and students raise their hand to guess the word. Once the correct word is shared with the class, students tick them off. Key word grid could also be used with mini-whiteboards. Also contains a multiple choice quiz which could be done in teams or individually.

Year 7 revision lesson on the cells topic. Students play bingo by listening to the definitions of the key words. Students put up their hands to give their answer which is shared with the rest of the group then ticked off. The second half of the lesson is designed as a 'pub quiz' activity - students get into team of 5/6 and come up with a team name. Answers are peer-assessed. Prizes were given to the winners to keep up the competitive spirit. Please rate & comment as appropriate

Lesson plan and activities based around conditioned and innate behaviour. Includes true/false AfL plenary.

NEW GCSE Properties of enzymes (proteins, enzymes & catalysts) - Based on the AQA Specification - this lesson covers: - what proteins and therefore enzymes are made from. - what enzymes are. - relating how the shape of an enzymes enables that protein to enzymes out its function. This lesson includes: - Whole lesson (ppt file) - AfL activity All book pages refer to the OUP kerboodle textbook, but any biology textbook would be suitable to answer the questions in this lesson.

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.

Lesson plan and activities for AQAs B1.2 Indicating pollution. Any page references are for OUPs 'AQA GCSE Science&' book - ISBN 978-0-19-913583-7.

Students develop their HSW skills during the lesson by creating a dichotomous key. Students also recap prior knowledge of animal and plant cell structure and are introduced to a number of specialised cells. Students are encouraged to cut out and sort the cells as they draw their diagrams, as a visual and kinaesthetic activity. The plenary involves students identifying key features of a cell to try and determine its function. Please rate & comment as appropriate.
