The Fungal Cells Teaching Resources

 

 
 

Cell Biology

This package is aimed at KS4 and higher KS3 level students and is intended to allow teachers to maintain student interest in the subject whilst covering the National Curriculum. It also goes into more depth about fungi, which are currently over-looked in the National Curriculum.

 

The Teacher's Guide gives some basic background science [CLICK HERE to download the Teacher's Guide]

 

The accompanying collection of class sheets offer several different ways in which to fit this information into KS3 Module 7a, Cells; and into the year 8 module on Microbes [www.exploringscience.co.uk].

 

The class sheets contain a brief description of animal and plant cells and include something about fungi and about bacteria. They are designed to be used as supplements to GCSE textbooks, and/or teaching websites (like www.cellsalive.com). Pupils can also be encouraged to research the Internet – try Ask Jeeves for Kids at http://www.ajkids.com or Yahoo for kids at http://www.yahooligans.com by typing in ‘Cell structure’ or a cell organelle such as ‘nucleus’ or ‘cell wall’.

Provided in two formats: PDF file (for easy printing) and as a Word.doc for you to edit and modify as you wish. Deals with the same information as FC02+FC03 and intended as an alternative to those.
