Lesson on puberty and adolescence. Students start by identifying changes that have occurred in a celebrity as they have grown into an adult. Students then watch a youtube video on puberty and investigate the changes on the BBC website. Students then arrange the changes that happen to males and females in a venn diagram. Students are given an opportunity to develop their literacy skills by writing an agony aunt reply. The lesson ends with a mini-whiteboard activity.

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.

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.

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.
