Food web - card sort or cut and stick

(44)
Orginally designed for a high ability year 8 group to cut and stick the organisms, drawing lines to show the feeding relationships. The blank card was left for the pupils to draw the sun, but this could be taken out/sun drawn on for the pupils depending on ability. This activity was also used with an SEN year 9 class for revision. The cards were laminated and cut out for them, as were the arrows. Pupils then sorted the cards into simple food chains and expanded as they wished - these were then noted down in their books.

Organ systems - Year 7

A year 7 lesson designed as an introduction to some of the major organ systems. for the starter I drew an organ onto the torso and students wrote the name on their mini whiteboards.The idea of transplants and ethics is introduced. Slides 13 and 14 were printed onto one A4 sheet and given to all students. The statements were discussed as a class and students ticked the sheets. An opinion line was then formed in the class. Statements were discussed further to allow students to change their minds if they wished. Please rate & comment as appropriate.
