Plant Anatomy and Life Cycle - Find the Pair Team Game KS3
With questions on plant parts, pollination, fertilization, seed structure and dispersal and germination, this engaging and enjoyable memory game on plant anatomy and the life cycle of the plant can be used to consolidate learning after the topics have been taught or as test prep.
How to Play
Pupils work in teams of three or four.
Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards.
If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs.
If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge.
Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair.

Distance Learning or Remote Learning Quiz KS3
A fantastic end-of-year or back to school activity but really the ideal any-time vehicle to promote community and communication between teachers and students and which also introduces that important element of healthy competition - so often missing in distance learning. The competition can be run for individual classes or across several classes and offering a prize and running a “coming to your computer soon” campaign for a few days before fires interest and enthusiasm.
How it Works
The design of this fully - animated quiz is unique and is specifically tailored to quizzing at a distance.
Students complete the quiz which automatically records the score and the time taken.
They then take a screenshot or photograph of their final score or time and email it to their teacher.
The winner is the student with the highest score and in the event of a tie, the student with the lowest time wins.
The time penalties for each question mean that those pupils who have cheated and looked up the answers online are unlikely to win.
On selecting a wrong answer, the student is immediately provided with the correct answer.

As well as asking a question, most slides also provide some interesting snippets about the topic so pupils are expanding their general knowledge as well as enjoying the activity. Topics include:

Plant and Animal Cells-Structure and Differences KS3
This action-packed, differentiated, lesson on the structure of plant and animal cells is fully resourced with 12 activities and 14 learning outcomes. Pupils learn to label and know the functions of the nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria, cell wall, chloroplasts and vacuole. It explains that differences between plant and animal cells stem from the lack of a skeleton in plant so that the cells must provide support and that plants, anchored into the ground and unable to move to hunt, must make their own food.
Easy to follow instructions are given on PowerPoint and worksheets so that the lesson practically runs itself.
Activities include literacy, group work, peer assessment, self-assessment, pupil response to assessment and feedback to teacher on pupil learning via an exit ticket quiz.
This pack contains material for two hours lesson time in total to enable the teacher to select resources to totally bespoke their lesson according to pupil ability, time available for the topic and focus of departmental/school policy. Any unused resources can be utilized as additional homework or pre-examination revision.
An easy to follow one-page flow chart lesson plan indicates where logical choices between resources can be made and indicates whether each activity includes literacy, oracy or AFL .
Objective
To know why plant and animal cells are different.
To be able to label the parts of plant and animal cells
To know the function of the parts of plant and animal cells.
