This is a resource for the new AQA GCSE Biology ‘Infection and Response’ module.
 
The lesson begins with an introduction to the structure of fungi and protists and some of the diseases they can cause in plants and animals.
 
Pupils can then stick a piece of information in their books which outlines the rose black spot fungal disease of plants and the protist disease of malaria in humans. Pupils should use this information to work their way through the levelled tasks on the board. You can then go through the answers to these questions and pupils can self-assess or peer-asses their work.
 
The mid-lesson progress check is an activity where pupils match definitions to the correct key words, pupils can self-assess their work.
In the next activity pupils can create a pamphlet/poster aimed at patients going abroad to a country where they could be at risk of contracting malaria. Pupils can work through the tasks for each of the parts of the ABCD approach in order to complete this poster. Pupils can then peer-assess their work.
 
Plenary is a quick quiz pupils can complete at the back of their books.
