This dyslexia-friendly lesson is aimed at low to middle ability 11-14 year old learners, and could be useful for older learners who struggle with science. It is a quick introduction to cells as the building blocks of life, with an overview of the basic parts of animal cells. The cheek cell practical is included. The lesson assumes a knowledge of how to set up and use a microscope. The follow-up lesson on plant cells includes a summary crossword for the two lessons.
