KS3 - Unicellular Organisms

(0)
This lesson covers the KS3 national curriculum on unicellular organisms, focusing primarily on euglena and amoeba. This lesson looks at what unicellular organisms are as well as their parts and what each part does, and how they are similiar/different to animal/plant cells. Lesson Objectives: Know what a unicellular organism is Name 2 examples of unicellular organisms Describe the features of an amoeba Describe the features of an euglena This lesson resource includes: Interactive lesson powerpoint with answers, teacher delivery guidance and plenary task Student led reading task worksheet with questions (PDF and editable) Reading task answer sheet (PDF and Editable)

KS3 Biology - Cells Topic

6 Resources
This bundle is a complete topic pack containing all powerpoints, student worksheets, risk assessments, stretch and challenge tasks, and answer sheets for the Biology topic “Cells”. It also contains many student-led activities on the powerpoints (particularly designed to make the learning of parts and functions of cells easier, more fun and student-led), plenary activities, and reading and literacy tasks (for specialised cells and unicellular organisms) Bundle includes: Lesson 1: Observing cells with a microscope Lesson 2: Animal Cells Lesson 3: Plant Cells Lesson 4: Specialised Cells Lesson 5: Movement of Substances (diffusion) in and out of cells Lesson 6: Unicellular Organisms (focusing on euglena and amoeba) Lesson Objectives: Lesson 1: Observing Cells Name the parts of a microscope Describe how to use a microscope to observe very small objects Calculate the total magnification used to observe an object View and focus objects under a microscope Lesson 2: Animal Cells State what a cell is Name the different parts of an animal cell Describe the function of each part of an animal cell Use a Microscope to view animal cells (cheek cells) Lesson 3: Plant Cells Identify parts of a plant cell from a diagram Describe the function of each part of a plant cell Compare the similarities and difference between an animal and plant cell Use a microscope to view plant cells (pond weed) Lesson 4: Specialised Cells Know what a specialised cell and an adaptation is Give some examples of specialised cells Identify and describe the adaptations of some specialised cells Explain how an adaptation makes a specialised cell good at its function Lesson 5: Movement of Substances in and out of cells Name some substances that move into and out of cells Describe the process of diffusion Describe examples of diffusion in cells **Lesson 6: Unicellular Organisms ** Know what a unicellular organism is Name 2 examples of unicellular organisms Describe the features of an amoeba Describe the features of an euglena
