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}

Lesson plan

Lesson Plan: Cells and Pollination

Subject

Science

Topic

Cells and Pollination

Grade / Age Group

Year 7 (Ages 11-12)

Lesson Duration

30 minutes

Class Size

20 students

Objectives

• To understand the structure and function of plant cells.
• To recognise the role of pollination in plant reproduction.
• To learn how cells contribute to the process of pollination.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Projector or interactive display
• PowerPoint presentation on cells and pollination
• Handouts with diagrams of plant cells and pollination processes
• Microscopes (if available) for cell observation
• Pollination models or photographs

National Curriculum Links

• Understand the characteristics of living organisms.
• Explain the life processes of plants, including reproduction.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction	5	Introduce the topic of cells and pollination, engaging students with questions about what they know.
2	Lecture on Plant Cells	10	Present key information about plant cells, using a PowerPoint presentation. Include diagrams and cell functions.
3	Discussion on Pollination	5	Explain what pollination is, its importance in plant reproduction, and the role of pollen and pollinators.
4	Interactive Activity	5	Allow students to observe plant cells under microscopes or use models/photographs to explore pollination.
5	Q&A Session	3	Answer any questions students may have about cells and pollination. Encourage curiosity and further inquiry.
6	Homework Assignment	2	Assign students to create a poster on either plant cells or the pollination process, to be submitted in the next class.

Homework

• Create a poster on either the structure of plant cells or the process of pollination. This will be submitted in the next class without any presentations.

Assessment

• Assess understanding through participation in discussions and the quality of the homework assignment.

Notes

• Ensure to check homework for comprehension and offer feedback as needed.
• Prepare for possible follow-up lessons on related topics, such as animal cells or ecological roles of pollinators.

Reflection

• After the lesson, gather student feedback to adjust future lessons based on their interests and understanding.
