This resource looks at the development of genetic modification, genome editing and CRISPR, and where these technologies might lead. 

New genetic engineering technologies offer exciting opportunities to speed up the traditional plant breeding process and generate high-yielding, disease-resistant, climate...

This collection aims to support teachers in the delivery of career-focussed lessons and events. Combining material for students with comprehensive teacher guidance, these resources can help teachers to confidently explain the opportunities available to their students. Highlights include:

• Top Ten...

This collection holds a variety of reports about education issues in general, rather than about specific subjects. They include reports which discuss the development and importance of vocational courses, progression from Key Stage Four to A Level and continuing professional development for teachers and technicians...

This STEM Learning resource collection aims to support STEM Ambassadors to highlight the top 10 employability skills to young people, with examples of activities and discussions to support young people to develop these skills in either school, college or other settings.  

This resource focuses on problem...

This group of mathematical problem-solving activities use the context of Norwest, a small chain of mini supermarkets serving small towns in the North West of England. The activities show how mathematics can be applied to practical situations in the world of logistics.

The first of two RISP activities, Venn Diagrams explores lines in co-odinate geometry and quadratic functions...

Mind-boggling progress has been made in our ability to sequence a genome accurately and quickly, and in our ability to process and understand the huge amount of data that sequencing produces. What do these developments mean for each of us – our health, our identity, and the world we live in – now and in the future...

Published by the Wellcome Trust, the 'Big Picture' explores issues around biology and medicine.

In recent years, great progress has been made in genome sequencing and understanding the huge amount of data produced....

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...

Produced in 2015, these resources look specifically at how genes can be altered in plants and how bacteria are central to genetic engineering techniques. Genetically modified (GM) crops offer the potential to help improve food security though this still remains...

Produced for the Citizen Science project, this resource enagages students in the debate around genetic testing and screening. It is suitable for students aged 14-16 and post-16. The activity provides an opportunity to investigate genetic disorders before considering a number of statements and situations concerning...

A collection of post 16 resources which cover biotechnology, DNA sequencing and  gene therapy.  These resources are part of the post 16 genetics and genomics collection.
