Y7 Activate - Unicellular organisms

This lesson is designed for a year 7 class studying the KS3 Activate curriculum.
This lesson is focused on unicellular organisms.

From this lesson, students should be able to:

• Name two unicellular organisms (amoeba and euglena)
• Describe the basic structures found in unicellular organisms (amoeba and euglena) and their functions
• Compare the structures of euglena to the structures found in animal cells and plant cells

All of my lesson resources contain:

• A 5-in-5 retrieval-style starter
• An interesting lesson hook, careers link, or retrieval practice to start the lesson
• Teacher input slides with dual coding and reduced cognitive load
• Teacher models
• Regular ‘check for understanding’ slides, such as hand signals quizzes
• Regular student independent practice slides, with optional scaffolds, challenges and answer slides
• A plenary task
