Aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class Starter Activity C2 retrieval practice questions – go through the answers. Stick in objective sheets for this topic Main – Think pair share – what is the blood made up of? Go through answers, show students a photomicrograph of the different cells Students then use the handout to make a grid of the function of the different parts of the blood. Extension questions at the bottom to challenge level 4+ students Go through answers, ensure everybody knows key function for each type of cells Six mark question – students have ten minutes to answer questions. Then green pen mark Watch a video of a blood donation, have a mini debate – would you give blood? Plenary Plenary key questions to answer
