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.

AQA As Biology 2011. The dissection is intended to take the whole of a 1-hour lesson. Students can make notes if appropriate as they progress through the lesson. The lesson is designed as a recap and extension on knowledge of the heart structure. The homework is for questions from the student textbook (Nelson Thornes AQA Biology). Please rate & comment as appropriate.

AQA As Biology 2011. Introduction lesson to pathogens as a cause of disease. Students recap micro-organisms & pathogens from GCSE. Students then swab areas of the lab to determine optimum conditions for microbial growth in a later lesson. The idea of infection Vs disease is addressed. There are a few summary questions at the end to consolidate knowledge. Please rate é comment as appropriate.

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.
