The Wellcome Trust produce a wide range of
fantastic free
resources for schools. The latest set of resources focuses on
exercise, energy and movement. These resources take a look at the
biological systems that keep us moving and consider some of the
psychological, social and ethical aspects of exercise and
sport.
Topics include:
- Cellular respiration
- Bone biomechanics
- Respiraton
- Muscle movement
The topics are covered through videos, animations and written
articles. In The Big Picture, Wellcome's free magazine for biology
teachers and students, you can find an interview with Ellie
Simmonds, Paralympic swimmer and double gold medallist.
The Wellcome resources are a useful addition to your classroom
whether you want to capitalise on an increased interest in sport at
your school in the run up to the London 2012 Olympics, or you
simply want a new and interesting way to teach these topics. Visit
