Biology lesson on theme of Conservation Starter: images printed on the tables.Students to link these to previous learning (human impact on the environment, population) and try to decipher the topic of the lesson. True/false activity - students write 1-6 in the back of their books and decide whether each statement is true or false. At the end of the session, revisit this task and allow them to change answers. Then go through altogether and see who has improved their understanding since they first did this.Amazing way to show progress! Main: group activity, each group given information pack on a species, and they work to answer the questions in the presentation and design a conservation program. Comprehension activity to consolidate learning. Plenary: conservation loop game to be completed in small groups, good competition! This lesson was graded as OUTSTANDING.

The Eye

Used with high ability year 10 class. Eye diagram unlabelled (blown up to A3) given to each group, with a set of label cards. First use prior knowledge to label the diagram - assessing prior knowledge. Then move around the room collecting information on the structures of the eye, filling in the worksheet. Return to group, and use this information to have another go at labelling the diagram. Excellent means of showing progress. Move on to each label their own diagram, and discuss rods/cones - linking back to previous lesson on the Nervous system.
