Lesson and activities for AQAs AS Biology 4.4 Pulmonary Tuberculosis. All reference to questions and/or pages in the book are from Nelson Thorne's AQA AS Biology student book - ISBN 978-0748782758.
A table for year 7 pupils to fill out on the properties of solids, liquids and gases. Under the title of the state of matter, the box is there for pupils to draw a particle diagram of the solids, liquid or gas.
The worksheet is designed to be filled out and discussed as a whole class activity, and then pupils use this to classify substances which are typically difficult to classify. E.g custard, jelly, sand etc.
Lesson plan and activities based around natural defences and the usefulness of handwashing against microbes. Includes a practical activity with instructions.
Lesson and activities for AQAs 1.2 Data and disease. All reference to questions and/or pages in the book are from Nelson Thorne's AQA AS Biology student book - ISBN 978-0748782758.

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.
