| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

This lesson aligns with the UK National Curriculum for Science, specifically focusing on the characteristics of living organisms and the structure and function of cells.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 mins | Briefly introduce the topic of cells. Ask students what they already know about cells. |
| 2 | Presentation | 10 mins | Use a projector to present key concepts about cell structure and function, highlighting differences between plant and animal cells. Include diagrams. |
| 3 | Discussion | 5 mins | Facilitate a class discussion on the importance of cells. Engage students by asking questions. |
| 4 | Activity | 5 mins | Distribute worksheets that include identifying parts of a cell and their functions. Students complete the worksheet individually. |
| 5 | Review and Q&A | 3 mins | Review the worksheet answers as a class. Address any outstanding questions from students. |
| 6 | Homework Assignment | 2 mins | Explain the homework assignment, which involves researching one type of cell (plant or animal) and its specific functions. Hand out worksheets. |
Students will be assessed through completion of the worksheet and their participation in class discussions.
Students will research one type of cell (either a plant or an animal cell) and prepare a brief written description of its structure and functions. Homework will be checked for completion without student presentations.
Ensure that the learning environment is inclusive and accessible for all students. Encouragement of questions and interaction should be part of every step in the lesson.
This lesson plan provides a structured approach for teaching Year 7 students about cells in a concise, engaging manner, adhering to UK teaching standards.
