online resources... can we; should we?
Online version available here
This third online resource has been designed to enhance teaching and learning about cutting edge science and issues arising from our ever-increasing ability to manipulate the natural world. Highlights include:
zoos
– In this activity, students are challenged to create a presentation about various animals and their respective ideal environments. The arguments for and against keeping animals in captivity are also explored.
immunisation
– This citizenship resource explores the science behind immunisation and it’s role in society in the 21st century.
environment
– The impact of the individual on the environment is the subject here. This part of the resource includes materials for tracking your own energy use, discussion aids and even the script for a radio play …
human torch
– Another nerve-racking investigation from the people that brought you Flesh Eaters! This time we’re talking spontaneous human combustion, and the science behind chemistry and burning.(NB The Human Torch application is currently only available on the CDROM.)
organic farming
– Is organic food really better for us? This resource focuses on plant growth, and its implications for health and food safety.
top science
– a card game specially designed to challenge pupils’ knowledge of the food chain and eco-balance.
