Cloning
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; 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)
