Relevant resources

Biodiversity	Using Science to Support Biodiversity
	A virtual field trip to study biodiversity. This is an investigation^(ta) in a virtual field trip to Dartmoor National Park. It involves research, designing a scientific investigation and analysing the results.
Discussion	Discussion in Science Teaching
	Equip yourself to run a discussion in class This resource is aimed at developing student teachers’ skills in working with discussion^(ta). It can be presented to them as a hand-out to accompany an activity or read as reference material. See it online at BEEP website. Although it uses a science context, the real focus of the resource is managing and organising discussion-based activities. It provides guidance on: Starting and structuring a discussion Organising group talk^(ta) Role Play/drama^(ta) Ground Rules for discussion and handling difficult discussions
Ethics	Cloning
	Cloning - Potential and Issues 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.
Genetics	Human Genome Project: from Sequencing to Sharing Genomic Information
	Discuss and share economic, political and ethical issues. This resource provides guidance on how to use whole class^(ta) discussion^(ta) and/or small group work^(ta) to engage students with the science and the economic, political, ethical^(topic), legal and social issues of a scientific project such as the HGP. Its focus is on the scientific method^(ta); language^(ta) and the nature of scientific inquiry^(ta).
Sampling	Sampling techniques to assess population size
	This lesson offers students an opportunity to use their existing knowledge to analyse a ‘real scientific publication’ and its language^(ta) and link this to scientific method^(ta). They use study skills^(topic) to skim read, make sense of complex language, and use visualisation^(ta) to select relevant information They engage in collaborative^(tool) group work^(ta) using reasoning^(ta) and skills in peer assessment^(ta) They engage in dialogue^(ta) and questioning^(ta) to explore ideas together They also think about how to present information using ICT⁽ⁱ⁾ tools)
