Cloning - Potential and issues

Lesson idea. This eclectic resource offers students a tutorial with questions and links to news stories about cloning. It explains about reproductive and therapeutic cloning. It also mentions their potential and provides links, for example to an animation on how cloning works.

Teaching approach. The topic of the ethics(topic) of modern biology needs to draw on a wider range of sources than a printed book may provide. This resource uses a web tutorial interspersed with external links to news and comment. Rather than leave the students to explore too many interests, a worksheet with questions enables the teacher to focus the students on a subset of the material. You can adapt this to your particular need, for example, if you wanted students to have a discussion(ta)in small groups. You might also consider using a blog, chat room or other ICT tools to record the questioning(ta) and reasoning(ta) around this topic. The lesson-planning proforma (or draft lesson plan) includes a list of objectives that shows the scope of the material. (edit)
