Relevant for all new 2016 GCSE specification in cell biology Teach pupils the function of nucleus, ribosomes, mitochondria, membrane, cell wall, chloroplasts, vacuole in eukaryotes and plasmids in prokaryotes. Print the laminate sheet double sided and laminate for students to use as reference. Print the foldable double sided and fold into three. Cut along the dotted lines to provide flaps for animal, plant and bacterial cells and also flaps for the organelles. Pupils then use these to test each other and learn the parts of the cell. PowerPoint then goes through each structure. Crossword and word search for organelles - both with 3 versions differentiated can be used as plenary and there is tick list to check understanding.

Two worksheets - cut out the labels on the first and stick onto the second to help revise what each part of the plant cell does. Could emit words on the second sheet to make it harder for top sets.

Everything you need for the Human Digestion System - very independent lesson with plenty of resources, starter and plenaries. Not complicated at all and can be used at all levels. Start by printing out an A2 coloured digestive system poster found on the powerpoint - run a poster challenge where pupils are put into groups and take it in turns to look at the poster outside of the room for 30 second - the whole team have to try and recreate the poster in a certain time - prize for the winner. The give the pupils the worksheet - have the posters for the digestive system printed and laminated around the room OR upload the powerpoint to iPads or laptops - pupils use these to condense the information on the Digestive System Worksheet. Then give pupils the enzyme foldable and leave the slide of chemicals in the digestive system on the board - they use this to create a foldable for Protease, Lipase, Carbohydrase, bile and hydrochloric acid. As a plenary pupils can do word search and/or crossword which are differentiated. Then they can go through the tick list for the topic to review their learning. Ideas for plenaries are also on the powerpoint. Also a results table for the required practical. I have done this lesson with all of my GCSE classes and they loved all of the activities. All printed and laminated resources can be saved and used for years to come!
