Science at key stage 3    (Year 7)

Unit 7A: Cells
Section 11: Reviewing work

QCA

Objectives

Children should learn:
  • about types of cells, their functions and organisation into tissues and organs
  • to relate ideas about cell division to growth

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Provide images or video sequences of different specialised cells and of division and growth, eg early stages of a human embryo, together with short descriptions, and ask pupils, in groups, to match image and description. Discuss with them the examples that they have difficulty agreeing on. Ask them to use their work to help them make a summary sheet about the unit.
  • identify different types of cell and describe their roles
  • explain that growth occurs as a result of cell division and increase in size
