  • to identify key points about micro-organisms and their relationship to disease

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Ask pupils to produce a concept map of micro-organisms and diseases using the terms in this unit. Using their concept maps they can generate a list of questions to ask each other about micro-organisms.
  • Ask pupils to go through the work they have done in this unit and pick out five or six key points, and then in groups agree ten amongst themselves. Compare the lists of different groups and agree a summary of key points with the class, in which closely related points are grouped together.
  • demonstrate, by their responses, understanding and recall of key points
  • identify, summarise and group key points
