Understanding prokaryotes and eukaryotes
This complete PowerPoint lesson with accompanying classroom worksheet includes everything you need to teach students about these different organisms and their cells.
The lesson includes a clear set of lesson objectives and six starter questions (with answers), including a challenge task. Students then more onto a series of engaging learning activities and tasks, including a 'blind draw' cell diagram task to build students' communication skills and to share knowledge in pairs.
There's also a think, pair, share activity on the structures of different cells, plus sentence writing and video note-taking tasks. For formative assessment, you'll find a Venn diagram task and an exam-style question (with a focus on command words) to check and consolidate their understanding. Answers for each task are included for self-marking in class.
The classroom worksheet includes a cell diagram to label, Venn diagram labels to help students and an extension task to encourage students to understand the similarities and differences between these organisms and their cells.
