This fully-resourced lesson focuses on the events of cell meditated immunity which specifically initiates the specific immune response. The detailed PowerPoint has been designed to cover the 3.2.4 of the AQA A-level Biology specification which states that students should be able to describe role of T-lymphocytes in response to foreign antigens.
The lesson includes:
Millionaire Pound Drop game - students will recall previous topics with a low stakes starter game (instruction included)
Video and questions activity- to understand the concept of cell-meditated immunity
Group/ pair activity - students will use information from the video to create a detailed diagram of the entire process of cell-meditated immunity
Application questions- to challenge critical thinkers with real-life scenarios
This lesson is estimated to take about 1 hour of A-level teaching time to deliver
This lesson is based on AQA A-level biology specification, looking at the topic of antibodies and monoclonal antibodies. In this lesson students will describe the structure of antibodies and how it relates to its highly specific function. Students will explain the process of monoclonal antibodies and its uses in medicine for diagnostic testing. Worksheets will also allows students to discuss the ethical concerns around the use of monoclonal antibodies. This lesson looks at various applications of monoclonal antibodies, specifically looking at pregnancy test and the ELISA test which will provide great foundation for the topic L7. HIV. Engagement is important, so the lesson begins with a fun starter game called hot seat, this game test students’ knowledge of keywords by applying their prior knowledge as well team building to derive to the correct answer.
This lesson includes the following:
Interactive and team building starter game
Worksheets for antibody diagram, ethics of monoclonal antibodies
Exam questions
Answers are included for worksheets and mark schemes
Estimated lesson time: 2 hours of A-level teaching
