Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What are the forms of life?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Unicellular organisms are living things made up of only a one cell.
  2. Multicellular organisms are living things made up of many cells.
  3. Bacteria, Protozoa and Yeast (unicellular fungi) are examples of unicellular organisms.
  4. A bacterial cell consists of cytoplasm and a membrane surrounded by a cell wall; the genes are not in a distinct nucleus. Some Bacteria may have Flagella (tails) to swim.
  5. Yeast cells have a nucleus, cytoplasm and a membrane surrounded by a cell wall.
  6. Protoza have pseudopodia (“false feet”) to move about and to surround food and take it inside the cell. Protoza have temporary vacuoles containing waste.
  7. Students to sort prepared slides or diagrams of unicellular organisms based on their characteristics.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • Yeast: Yeast are single-celled fungi. They are useful in food production. The carbon dioxide produced by yeast makes bread dough rise, and the ethanol it (2)
  • Multicellular organisms: living things made up of many cells. (2)
  • Unicellular organism: living things made up of only a one cell. (2)
  • Pseudopodia: Are false feet found on Protoza to move about and to surround food and take it inside the cell. (1)
  • Flagella: Tails found on bacteria that allows them to swim. (1)
  • Protozoa: Protozoa are single-celled organisms., (1)
  • Bacteria: Bacteria are living cells and, in favourable conditions, can multiply rapidly. Once inside the body, they release poisons or toxins that make us feel ill. (1)
  • Gene: A gene is a short section of DNA. Each gene codes for a specific protein by specifying the order in which amino acids must be joined together (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What does unicellular mean?
    Unicellular organisms are living things made up of only a one cell.
  2. What does multicellular mean?
    Multicellular organisms are living things made up of many cells.
  3. Name 3 types of unicellular life.
    Bacteria, Protozoa and Yeast are examples of unicellular organisms.
  4. What are the parts of a bacterial cell?
    A bacterial cell consists of cytoplasm and a membrane surrounded by a cell wall; the genes are not in a distinct nucleus. Some Bacteria may have Flagella (tails) to swim.
  5. What organelles do yeast cells have?
    Yeast cells have a nucleus, cytoplasm and a membrane surrounded by a cell wall.
  6. What are pseudopodia?
    Protoza have pseudopodia (“false feet”) to move about and to surround food and take it inside the cell. Protoza have temporary vacuoles containing waste.
  7. Can you see unicellular or multicellular organisms with the naked eye?
    You can see multicelluar organisms with the naked eye. Most unicellular organisms are too small to see without a microscope.

Differentiation: AGT, SEND, LLL, Disadvantaged
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
