Question 1
Subject: Life Sciences
Grade / Phase: Grade 10 (FET Phase)

The lesson will take place in a well-resourced, urban public high school. The
classroom is equipped with a projector, a smartboard, and reliable internet

have prior knowledge of basic cell structure and the concept of a circulatory
system from the previous grade. The class is linguistically and culturally
