This lesson is designed for the Activate KS3 Science Course, specifically Year 7 B1.1 Module on ‘Cells’
 
This lesson begins with an introduction to two unicellular organisms - euglena and amoeba. Students can also watch a video to demontrate the motion of an amoeba cell.
 
The main task involves students completing a set of tasks using information sheets on amoeba and euglena cell structure, function and reproduction. Students should work their way through the tasks, once this is complete they can self-assess their work using the mark scheme provided.
 
Next, students should summarise what they have learned during the lesson by completing the fill-in-the-blank task, the answers to this task are included in the PowerPoint so students can self-assess their work once it is complete.
 
Lastly, students will need complete a ‘Key Word Bingo’ activity, they will need to choose 6 words from the list provided. The teacher then reads out a definition, if this definition matches one of the words written down then it can be crossed out. First student to cross all 6 words from their books/grids shouts bingo!
 
The plenary task is a 3-3-1 reduction - students will write down 3 facts, 3 key words and reduce this to 1 key word from the lesson today.
