DNA is a fundamental principle in biology and it is never too early to get students talking about it!
Yourgenome.org is a one-stop shop for information about DNA, genes and genomes. Recently updated it offers a great range of teaching resources suitable for primary science.
This session aims to introduce and demonstrate a selection of resources from yourgenome.org that can be easily applied to the teaching of topics around variation, evolution and living things, as well as some great Science Week Activities!
The presenters will walk participants through a selection of resources, highlighting curriculum links and how they can be applied in the classroom. From this session participants will be able to: - Locate a range of resources on the Yourgenome.org website - Understand how to integrate teaching resources into teaching plans - Deliver different DNA-related content in their teaching
