Put the station cards from the PPT file around the room. Students then have copies of the station cards from the word file and have to move around the room completing the cards. Helper sheets are for any LSA's you may have

This is for a 100 minute lesson, but there are two tasks which could be split over two 50 min lessons. The Timeline Poster is one activity and the Darwin text based activity is the second activity. The text may be too textual for low ability or low reading age students, my low reading age group had an LSA and they were ACE!

Complete lesson based on the Simple Inheritance topic of the AQA Biology/Trilogy new specification GCSE course, also known as B13.7 from the Nelson Thornes text books. This lesson contains: Starter BoB’s big five. A recap over the last few lessons in 5 questions that they complete in the back of their books (Hence BoB). There are then the answers on the next slides for students to self or peer mark. This is to encourage memory retention over a series of lessons and has had a great impact in my classroom. Main Introduction to the keywords and then guided through some genetic crosses. Emphasis given to the correct workings that need to be written down in order to gain ALL the marks. Students are then expected to complete any of the next tasks. If you have iPads in the classroom then I would print out the QR code scanner (See note at bottom) sheet and students can choose the PDFs to load (and save paper) and either complete on the iPads, or in their books. Answers are provided for all three activities. Activity 1 - Harry Potter genetics. Students use information from Harry Potter to get used to the punnet square approach to these tasks. Activity 2 - Moving on from Harry Potter, students have to do more work. There is a lot of repetition here so I would advise students to move on when happy. Answers are again provided. Activity 3 - Exam questions, a series of exam questions to challenge the students, with mark scheme. Plenary Students give themselves an EBI and WWW for this lesson. NOTE ABOUT QR CODE SHEET - The QR codes on there will NOT work, you will need to upload the PDFs to a location on your schools network and then use a QR code generator website to generate the QR codes.
