Knowledge of plant diseases is restricted to tobacco mosaic virus as a viral disease, black spot as a fungal disease and aphids as insects. |
|
What are three examples of plant diseases you need to know? show students a range of photos of the affected plants and ask them which photo matches to t |
|

|
The pathogens that cause malaria are protists. |
|
What are the pathogens that cause malaria called? Show students a image of a protist and ask them describe if it is more like an animal or plant cell.
Show them the video after: https://www.bbc.com/education/clips/z2tq2hv |

Rose black spot is a fungal disease where purple or black spots develop on leaves, which often turn yellow and drop early. It affects the growth of the plant as photosynthesis is reduced. |
|
What is rose black spot and how does it affect the growth of a plant? Students use a note maker document (A4 or A3 page split into 4/6/8 boxes) to take notes on information from different stations on the various plant diseases. Answering questions about each one. |
|
|
|
Rose black spot is spread in the environment by water or wind. |
|
How is rose black spot spread in the environment? EW: Make a script for a video segment for ‘Gardeners’ World’ on plant diseases – how to recognise them and why they harm your plants. (could video if time allows)
HT: Use ICT to include images etc. or make ‘model’ infected/healthy leaves to show. |
|
|
|
Rose black spot can be treated by using fungicides and/or removing and destroying the affected leaves. |
|
How can rose black spot be treated? GF: Justify why there is a large part of the scientific industry dedicated to the prevention and development of cures for plant diseases? |
|
|
|
The malarial protist has a life cycle that includes the mosquito. Malaria causes recurrent episodes of fever and can be fatal. |
|
What vector is used to spread malaria and what are the symptoms of it? GF: What is the economic impact of plant diseases on the agricultural community? |
|
|
|
The spread of malaria is controlled by preventing the vectors, mosquitos, from breeding and by using mosquito nets to avoid being bitten. |
|
How is the spread of malaria controlled? Ask students to download a free app for stop time animation and bring devices in for the next lesson |
