Scheme of work Biology Cell biology – This resource provides guidance for teaching the Cell biology topic from our new GCSE in Biology. It has been updated from the draft version to reflect the changes made in the accredited specification. In particular minor changes have been made to the wording of the required practical Microscopy in section – 4.1.1.2, In addition some minor changes have been made in the specification made to sections 4.1.1.2 Animal and plant cells, 4.1.1.4 Cell differentiation and section 4.1.2.3 Stem cells. These alterations have not required changes to the scheme of work. The scheme of work is designed to be a flexible medium term plan for teaching content and development of the skills that will be assessed. It is provided in Word format to help you create your own teaching plan you can edit and customise it according to your needs. This scheme of work is not – exhaustive; it only suggests activities and resources you could find useful in your teaching. 4.1 Cell biology 4.1.1 Cell structure The specification mentions a range of specialised cells and offers opportunities to use a microscope again later on in the course.
