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. Please rate & comment as appropriate.

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.

A year 7 introduction to reproduction. Students are asked to write any words they know associated with reproduction - this is a good point to discuss what is slang and which words will be acceptable to use in science. Students are then asked to come up with their own rules for how to behave in the lessons on reproduction. Students also came up with consequences for breaking these rules. Students then share any previous knowledge by completing the table. The lesson ends with an anonymous question-answering session. Please rate & comment as appropriate.

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. Please rate & comment as appropriate.
