The lesson begins by introducing the effects that too high or too low blood glucose levels can have on a person. This then follows into a couple of slides which outlines how the body is able to keep the blood glucose levels at a constant, firstly students will learn about the role of insulin and then glucagon in controlling blood glucose. Pupils will then watch a video which summarises what they have just learnt, this can then be used to complete a worksheet which runs through the steps involved with either lowering or increasing blood glucose levels. This work can be self-assessed using the answers provided.
The next task is a summary table of the key words pupils will have learnt about within this topic, they will need to either identify the key word or a definition. This work can be assessed once they have finished using the answers provided. The next activity is a set of questions on the topic of controlling blood glucose, students should write their answers in full sentences and as an extra challenge could answer this in the back of their books and try not to look at their notes from the lesson so far.
The next part of the lesson focuses on diabetes, pupils will firstly watch a video and answer questions about the causes an treatments for diabetes, this can be self-assessed once finished. The second activity is a past-paper question, pupils can answer this in their books and then mark their work using the mark scheme provided.
The plenary task is for pupils to summarise what they have learnt today in three sentences.
All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)
