Genetic Databases
This article on Genetic Databases appeared in Biologist magazine in 2001. The resource is provided by the Association for Science Education (ASE).
What we eat; how we function (even to the smallest active molecule); every creature, microbe or plant that lives and grows in, on and around us - all these...
Genetic Engineering
This resource from Defence Dynamics can be used to help students consider the implications of genetic engineering. Stimulus materials look at the development of genetically modified food crops and a questionnaire helps students to consider their views on genetic engineering. The materials can be used to prompt a...
