Cells Lesson 7: Specialised Cells & Differentiation
This lesson introduces students to the concept of cell differentiation and how cells develop specialised structures to perform specific roles within the body. Learners explore a range of specialised cells — including nerve, blood, muscle, sperm, and ciliated cells — and examine how their unique adaptations enable them to function effectively.

Through guided discussion, collaborative learning, and structured mini tasks, students deepen their understanding of how cell structure links directly to function. A print‑ready worksheet with an adaptive version supports all learners in applying their knowledge with clarity and confidence.

Students will be able to:

• Understand the process of differentiation
• Identify how nerve, blood, muscle, sperm, and ciliated cells are adapted
• Relate cell structure to its specific function in the body
