This lesson is designed for the NEW AQA Trilogy Biology GCSE, particularly the ‘Infection & Response’ SoW.
 
The lesson firstly begins by looking at what monoclonal antibodies are and how they are produced, using a flow diagram the first slide goes through these details. The next slide is the images from the flow diagram but no description of what is happening, pupils need to match the statements to the correct part of the process. This can then be assessed.
 
The next part of the lesson focuses on the uses of monoclonal antibodies, firstly pupils are given a set of questions about pregnancy tests which they will need to answer using a video. This can then be assessed using the answers provided.
 
Pupils are then given a table/asked to draw a table in their book for the different uses of monoclonal antibodies. Pupils will then need to use posters which can be positioned around the room or on desks to fill this table in.
 
The final activity is a card sort - pupils are given statements about the uses of monoclonal antibodies which are either advantages or disadvantages, pupils will need to write these statements into the correct column in their books. Once finished they can self-assess their work using the answers provided.
 
The plenary activity is for pupils to choose two questions to answer from a list about the topic of the lesson.
