5.ACTIVITIES Vocabulary related with the topic of each session (match words with their meaning), reading comprehension (texts, games), listening comprehension (videos), oral expression (individual and group speaking activities, expositions).
6.DETAILED SESSIONS We designed 2 sessions, the first one is about how stem cells work, and the second one is about how stem cells are used in medicine.
Session 1. STEM CELLS Activity 1: Watch the following video and write the words and sentences that this video suggests.

…………………1……………… are cells found in the embryo when it’s just a few days old. They are pluripotent cells, meaning they are capable of differentiating into all the different types of specialised cells in the body. …………………2……………………..are special cells which have two unique properties, called selfrenewal and differentiation. Selfrenewal describes the process by which a stem cell produces an identical copy of itself. Differentiation describes the ability of stem cells to generate the specialised cell types found in the body, for example, blood cells or neurons.

……………3…………………..are multipotent stem cells found in many tissues in the body. They are also found in the foetus during development, as well as in the umbilical cord and placenta. Their role is to allow the constant renewal of cells throughout life. For example, it is estimated that 5070 billion cells die every day in the adult human; adults shed 3040,000 skin cells shed per hour, and need 100,000 new blood cells every day. …………4………………….. have a more limited differentiation potential than pluripotent ………………5…………………, meaning they can become fewer cell types (hence the term multipotent). Answers: 1 and 5….Embryonic stem cells 2…..Stem cells 3 and 4…...Adult stem cells

Activity 5: Let’s go to a virtual lab that works on stem cells. You have to find out how adult and embryonic stem cells work. 1) You have to use adult stem cells in order to create red blood cells from bone marrow 2) You have to use embryonic stem cells in order to create heart muscle cells http://virtualstemlab.com/stemcell.html
Activity 6: Let’s play https://create.kahoot.it/#user/0f7da19f1fd74b7f9f155398b9eb133d/kahoots/ created

Suggested development of the session We would distribute the pupils of the class in six teams of 4 members each one. After watching the introductory video, pupils may tell us words or sentences that this video suggests them. This part would take 2 minutes. Later, we would show pupils key words and their associated picture. Pupils would do a vocabulary activity to check if they understood the meaning of every word. All this part is completely developed in the Prezi presentation. This part would take 5 minutes. Moreover, pupils would watch a video about stem cells.This part would take 5 minutes. After this, pupils would read a text, and they would do an activity about filling in gaps. This part would take 5 minutes. Then, pupils would create specialized cells by using adult stem cells or embryonic stem cells in a virtual lab. Finally, pupils would play a kahoot game in order to check if they understood the main content objectives of the unit.
Session 2. STEM CELLS THERAPY IN DIFFERENT DISEASES Activity 7: Let’s cure diseases We can see different diseases and how stem cells therapy could cure them in the following presentation: https://prezi.com/fjllu0gxxji5/edit/#8_86852336 In this presentation we can see the pictures of different diseases: https://prezi.com/_kanh8tbdu3q/edit/#65_45341393 (pictures)

Suggested development of the session In this session pupils would learn the use of stem cells as a cell therapy for curing some diseases. Firstly, I would give them pictures with their related texts, some pupils would explain them the causes of the illness and how to cure them by using stem cells. Finally, the rest of the pupils would do an oral exposition of this by using only the pictures. This part would take 1 hour. Bibliography
