This dyslexia-friendly lesson is aimed at lower ability 11-14 year old learners, and could be useful as a reminder for older learners who struggle with science. It is a follow up to my aerobic respiration and heart and blood vessels lessons.
The lesson explores the links between respiration and breathing, and introduces learners to the main parts of the respiratory system. The mechanics of breathing are limited to diaphragm movement. The PowerPoint relies more on visual information, and would be best used with the usual laboratory models to demonstrate breathing. An interactive whiteboard quiz tests knowledge of the new keywords and the process of breathing. Turn the sound up! A crossword provides some formative assessment, and is available with and without a word bank.
Animations are used to help control pace and add interest to the presentation. The PowerPoint uses dyslexia-friendly background, font, and character spacing. Icons indicate the nature of each section - e.g. group work, video, or note-taking. Key words, definitions, and phonetic pronunciation are also included in the PowerPoint. Feedback on this dyslexia-friendly style would be greatly appreciated!
