GCSE Biology Topic 3: Vaccination
In this GCSE Biology Topic 3: Vaccination lesson, pupils will build on what they have learned about the immune system to explain how vaccination works. They will then discuss the pros and cons of vaccination. The slides include extension questions, and your students can choose from a variety of different tasks.
This lesson includes:
- Title slide with learning objectives
- A starter activity
- Group reading (literacy)

- Task boxes
- Order the steps
- Handout sheet task
