Abstract
This recommended "time planner" has been included so that you have some idea of how much time you will need for each of the lessons. One of the aims of this package is to ensure that teachers do not have to deviate more than is necessary from their normal Std 8 lessons on the structure and function of cells. However, teachers are asked to include the following introductory exercises when they teach the section on the cell. Please emphasis strongly (to the pupils) that this is NOT extra work irrelevant to the syllabus. These lessons are to assist them to develop skills which are absolutely essential for them to succeed as biology scholars. Thereafter the teaching is left to the teacher. However, teachers are asked to incorporate the worksheets on cell organelles. and other relevant exercises, into those lessons in which they deal with those organelles. As teachers will realise. the active involvement of pupils in the learning task inevitably means that more time is spent teaching that section of work. Thus some of the tasks are for pupils to complete at home. Teachers are asked to ensure that pupils do complete these exercises, and that they have some sort of follow-up in class, even if it is merely a class display of drawings which have been done
