Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What is the difference between a eukaryote and a prokaryote cell?

Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding

Success Criteria:	You will show your learning by...
Plant and animal cells (eukaryotic cells) have a cell membrane, cytoplasm and genetic material enclosed in a nucleus. Bacteria have cytoplasm and a cell membrane surrounded by a cell wall. Students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the scale and size of cells and be able to make order of magnitude calculations, including the use of standard form. Bacterial cells (prokaryotic cells) are much smaller in comparison. In bacteria the genetic material is not enclosed in a nucleus. It is a single DNA loop and there may be one or more small rings of DNA called plasmids.

Keywords:

DNA: the carrier of genetic information, present in nearly all living organisms. (1)
Magnitude: the size or extent of something. (1)
Eukaryote: an organism consisting of a cell or cells in which the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes contained within a distinct nucleus. (1)
Prokaryote: a microscopic, single-celled organism with no distinct membrane-bound organelles. (1)

AFL/Key Questions:

What is the basic structure of plant and animal (eukaryotic) cells?
Plant and animal cells (eukaryotic cells) have a cell membrane, cytoplasm and genetic material enclosed in a nucleus.
What is the structure of a bacterial cell?
Bacteria have cytoplasm and a cell membrane surrounded by a cell wall.
What is the order of magnitude of an ant, DNA, red blood cell, carbon atom and bacterial cell?
The order of magnitude of an ant, DNA, red blood cell, carbon atom and bacterial cell is as follows: ant > red blood cell > bacterium > DNA > carbon atom.
Are bacterial (prokaryotic) cells bigger or smaller than eukaryotic cells?
Bacterial cells (prokaryotic cells) are much smaller in comparison to eukaryotic cells.
What is unique about the DNA in a bacterial cell?
In bacteria the genetic material is not enclosed in a nucleus. It is a single DNA loop and there may be one or more small rings of DNA called plasmids.

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
