Learning objective Time taken Learning Outcome Learning activity with opportunity to develop skills Assessment opportunities Resources Not all cells in multicellular organisms retain the ability to divide. The cell cycle involves DNA replication followed by mitosis. 0.2 weeks Explain what the cell is and why it does not occur in some cells from multicellular organisms. Describe the stages of the cell cycle. Learning activities: provide card sort statements for students and ask them to arrange in a logical order eg DNA replication, DNA polymerase made, ATP stores increase teacher explanation of the cell. Be clear on the difference between the cell cycle and mitosis students could calculate the number or percentage of cells in each stage of the cell cycle, based on the number of hours each stage takes and the number of cells exam questions. Skills developed by learning activities: MS 0.3 – students could use data about the number of hours spent in each stage, to predict the ratio or % of cells in each stage of mitosis Specimen assessment material: Paper 1 (set 1) – Q8 AS Paper 1 (set 1) – Q4 Past exam paper material: Jan 2011 – Q7 Rich questions: Why would scientists investigating mitosis choose to study bone marrow cells over neurones?
