Key Stage 4 ~ GCSE Biology~ lesson on Mutation. In this lesson, students will describe what mutation is, explain how mutation can lead to disease and describe the different types of mutations (insertion, addition and substitution). Extension questions are included on the slides and there is a pick and mix of different tasks to select from for your students. Follows the GCSE Biology AQA course.

This lesson includes:

• Title slide with learning objectives
• A starter activity
• Group reading
• Task boxes
• Comprehension questions
• Discussion Exercise

This is fully self-explanatory and can be delivered without specialist knowledge, however it does require the basic structure of DNA to have been taught first (see DNA and protein synthesis /teaching-resource/resource-13041785) Discussion/extension answers are in the ppt notes.
  A supplementary resource designed to support self-directed learning, homework and independent projects is available here /teaching-resource/dna-supplementary-slides-and-worksheet-gcse-biology-aqa-12974472
