A full 1 hour lesson designed for a mixed ability year 8 class.
This is the 5th lesson in “Chapter 1 - Health and Lifestyle” from Activate 2, Biology. This lesson is on ‘gut bacteria’.
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:
- Explain why bacteria cannot live in the stomach
- Describe the role of gut bacteria in the body (producing vitamins, competing for resources with harmful bacteria, preventing infections)
- State what a probiotic is
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
