This resource is a set of EAL worksheets for Biology for pupils aged 11-16. I have made these resources with a grammar focus, simplified language and emphasis of key words. The easiest sheets should allow pupils to match information about life processes only using underlined key words and pictures (very low English level). The activities are the following: - Cells cut and stick activity: Pupils have to match organelle name, function, what it is like, a diagram and photo. There are three different difficulty level. - Life processes glossary: There are 4 different difficulty levels for this glossary with words and definitions from the topic. Please note: image credit is given on the final page, make sure you don't print it!!
