A full 1 hour lesson designed for a mixed ability year 8 class.
This is a practical lesson, complete with risk assessments, full methods and a results table.
This is the 2nd lesson in “Chapter 1 - Health and Lifestyle” from Activate 2, Biology. This lesson is on ‘food tests’.
This lesson should be suitable to teach to any KS3 Biology class, even by those where Biology is not their specialism.
This lesson (and all lessons in this unit) is designed to be interactive and engaging, with plenty of real world examples and independent tasks.

From this lesson, students should be able to:

  • Name the solutions used to test for the presence of starch, sugars, proteins and lipids in foods
  • Describe the colour change that occurs during a food test for starch, sugars, proteins and lipids

All of my lessons contain:

  • A 5-in-5 retrieval-style starter
  • An interesting lesson hook, careers link, or retrieval practice to start the lesson
  • Teacher input slides with dual coding and reduced cognitive load
  • Teacher models
  • Regular ‘check for understanding’ slides, such as hand signals quizzes and whiteboard quizzes
  • Regular student independent practice slides, with optional scaffolds, challenges and answer slides
  • A plenary task
