 Optional Pre-lesson preparation – Homework activity:
 It would be helpful to have some preparatory familiarisation with the animation/ information sheet resources and encourage students to research into the issues faced by stakeholders -  individuals, organisations, the scientific community and governments – during the Human Genome Project.  HGP outcomes, benefits, ethical, legal and social issues could be set as pre-lesson preparation, or a Homework activity.
