Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What are Gametes?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. gametes: cell structure linked to function Sperm Cells: - Tail: to be able to swim. - Pointed head: streamlined for swimming and entering egg. - Lots of mitrochondria: energy needed to swim, mitrochondria need to release energy through respiration.
  2. gametes: cell structure linked to function Egg Cells: - Large food store for initial growth
  3. Fertilisation occurs when the sperm's nucleus fuses with eggs nucleus. This forms a zygote.
  4. Gametes only contain half the DNA of a 'normal' cell.
  5. To result in a pregnancy fertilisation must occur in the oviduct tubes.

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. How is a sperm cell structure linked to is function?
    Sperm Cells have a pointed head which is streamlined for swimming and entering egg. The also have lots of mitrochondria to give energy needed to swim.
  2. How is a egg cell structure linked to is function?
    Egg Cells have a large food store for initial growth.
  3. What happens during fertilisation?
    Fertilisation occurs when the sperm's nucleus fuses with eggs nucleus.
  4. How does a gamete compare from a 'normal cell'?
    Gametes only contain half the DNA of a 'normal' cell.
  5. Where must fertilisation occur for a pregnancy to be possible?
    To result in a pregnancy fertilisation must occur in the Oviduct tubes.

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
