Instructional Objective:
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
- Social objective: The students work as a group
-Academic Objective:
The students will be able to
- recognise new vocabulary items( virus, bacteria, fungi and protozoa)
- identify the differences between the four types
- write a sentence for each vocabulary item
- draw an organization chart for each type and write its characteristics
Qatar Curriculum standard
6. 4 The types of the Micro-organism
Materials:

TEACHER PROCEDURE
Activity Prior Knowledge / Focus
The students studied in the previous lesson the definition of the micro-organism
in general
T. writes on the board 3 questions and ask the students to answer them in their
journals
Q-1 What is the definition of micro-organisms?
Q-2 Where can we find them?
Q-3 How can we see the micro-organisms?
Then the students will give the answers to the whole class.
T. tells the students the objectives of the lesson today, we are going to
- recognise new vocabulary ( virus, bacteria, fungi and protozoa)
- identify the differences between the four types
- write a sentence the vocabulary items
- draw an organization chart for each type with each features
Teacher Strategies:
The students will see by using the data show a table the differences of the four
types. Then they read the main differences to the student.
MICRO-ORGANISMS
1-Bacteria
2-Fungi
3-Virus
4-Protozoa
MICRO-ORGANISMS
Bacteria
Fungi
Bacteria are very
simple singlecelled organisms.
Fungi are a large Viruses are the smallest
and diverse group known organisms.
of organisms.
Viruses cause diseases
including the common
1- Their cells have
cold, influenza (flu)…..
membrane-bound
nuclei (we call them Viruses kill infected
eukaryotic)
cells,
spread
and
Most bacteria are
useful and some
are pathogens
and cause
diseases to
humans and
animals.
2-they do not use
photosynthesis.
3-they form spores
1-The nucleus is
not surrounded by 4-they have rigid
membrane.(we call cell walls
them prokaryotic)
2-they have rigid
cell walls
3- they have
flagella
Virus
damage body tissues.
Protozoa
Protozoa are large,
single-celled
organisms as
amoeba
They are able to
move by pushing
their cytoplasm
forward and get
their food by
engulfing smaller
microbes or cells.
They have:
1- cell membrane
2- cytoplasm
3- vacuole
4- nucleus
Student activity:
For the Jigsaw game:
T. distributes the names of the micro-organisms to the groups that each group
will have different name of the micro-organisms, they will read the characteristics
, then write the main points on their journal.
Then the Jigsaw game will applied. each student will have number (1-5) in each
group, after the groups have finished writing on their journal. T. will distribute the
students again, all the students with the same number will be in the new group,
then each student will read to the whole group what he wrote and discussed in
his group. Then the students in the new groups will draw an organization chart .
So in this activity ,sharing information and cooperative work will applied in the
whole class.
Modifications / Differentiation
-Differentiation: Kinetics ,after the students discussed in their group they moved
and shared the information to another groups
Lesson extensions:
- Students write one sentence of each vocabulary item.
Closure
Repetition:
- T. ask the students to read the new vocabulary items in the lesson
- T. restate the objectives of the lesson
- For Home work: T. gives the students a sheet to practice reading the
vocabulary items and their characteristics
Assessment:
-Work sheet to match the right sentence to the type of the micro-organism .
-Using class check list
-Ask them oral .
-Writing in their journal.
