Week 1
Week
2and 3
Living and Non
living
Cells
To develop an awareness of
characteristics of living creatures
and to identify them apart from
the non living.
Worksheets on living and non living
To understand the significance of
MRS GREN in common functions
of living creatures
MRS GREN and its importance –
notes and discussion
Events
How do we know if we have been
successful with the learning
intentions? How are we assessing
this?
Can explain to others the difference
between living and non living
Have a neat set of notes on MRS GREN
and can explain what it means
Worksheets
Book work and
ability to participate
in class discussion
To understand the
Cell theory
Cell types- pro and eukaryotic
cells
Plant and animal cells
Research and formulate the cell
theory and its importance to cell
structure and function
Venn diagram or any Graphic
organiser on pro and eukaryotic cells
Venn diagram or T table on Plant
and animal cells and
Describe each ones main organelles
Can explain the main postulates of the
cell theory in workbook
Can compare the prokaryotic cells
from the eukaryotic cells
Can compare the plant and animal
cells by using the skills of using a
microscope
Can describe 2 of the main organelles
Notes in class
Class discussion
Microscopic viewing
of plant and animal
cells
of each plant and animal
Week 4

chosen analogy or comparison to a
system or structure such as a village
Cell analogy
worksheet
How are plants different from
animals- research and articulate
Can identify what makes a living
creature a plant
To identify main parts of a plant
Can tell the main parts of plants under
vegetative and reproductive
structures
Can come up with a
table or poster to
say what are the
parts of plants.
Cell analogy or comparison activity
Creating a table of main features of
monocot and dicot plants
Can explain the terms monocot and
dicot plants
Providing examples of each type
Can demonstrate 2 differences
between monocot and dicot
Creating a cell
analogy and
presentation
Can explain the
functions of these
parts
