MS 0.2 – understand standard form when applied to the size of bacteria AO1 – development of knowledge of prokaryotes AO2 – application of knowledge to micrographs. Learning objective Time Learning Outcome Learning activity with opportunity to develop skills Assessment opportunities Resources The structure of virus particles to include genetic material, capsid and attachment protein. 0.2 weeks Describe the structure of particles. Describe the role of the capsid and attachment protein. Relate the structure of a virus to its replication within cells. Learning activities: teacher introduction to virus particles and their structure get students to relate the cell components in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells that viruses do not have, to the processes that viruses would be unable to do.
