This is a hand-on activity to explore the inheritance of cystic fibrosis, using counters to represent normal and faulty CFTR genes. Curriculum links include:
- Punnet squares & autosomal recessive diseases
- Autosomal...
Bacteria are one of the simplest forms of independent life with no nucleus or membrane bound organelles. These animations, from the Wellcome Trust, show that, despite this apparent simplicity, bacterial diseases pose a profound threat to world health. The animations are suitable as a lesson starter, to introduce...
This is a quick worksheet for students to label the parts of the uterus and describe the function of each part. Curriculum links include reproduction, pregnancy.
This is a starter activity in which students describe the route of a molecule of oxygen from air in the lungs to a muscle in a leg. A simple circulation “map” is provided to enable students to trace the route from the lungs, through the heart and to the leg. The map is supplied in 2 forms
at different levels...
In this starter activity, students use the information on a labelled diagram of a knee joint to complete a cloze exercise. Students can work out logically where to insert words, given a list. Additionally, sports injuries and treatment can be considered. Curriculum links include the skeletal system and muscles....
A Year Ten module from the Salters’ double award GCSE science course. This module deals with interactions between species in ecosystems. Students are shown how stable conditions lead to a natural balance in populations and how human activities can disturb this balance....
This resource from Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is a practical, classroom activity that allows the students to make a balloon model of a disease-causing bacterium. This illustrates its basic shape and structure. Students can choose from three bacteria species...
In this activity, students consider the evidence for causal links between sugar consumption, obesity and disease. They then weigh up arguments for and against banning sugary drink sales to children.
Curriculum links include:
Key Stage Three:
*Working Scientifically: Analysis and evaluation –...
This article from Catalyst looks at the ageing process in bananas. As bananas age, spots develop on their skins. These contain fluorescent substances which can be seen with a UV torch.
The article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2014, Volume 25, Issue 2.

This manual, from the Microbiology Society, provides a basic introduction to microbiology, aseptic technique and safety.
Part 1 of the book includes information on good microbiological laboratory practice, equipment, preparation of culture media, sterilisation and disinfection, inoculation, aseptic technique...
A Catalyst article about biologists looking for patterns in the distribution of barnacle species on the sea shore. Barnacles are arthropods which live as tiny larvae in the sea and then cement themselves, head down, on suitable rocks, build a shell, poke their legs out of the top of it and start to filter feed. The...
This practical activity explores beak adaptations in bird populations and looks at the way in which variation in beak shape is related to the available food sources within an environment.
Students simulate bird feeding by using a ‘beak’ to collect food and place it into a stomach. There are four different...
A Catalyst article about Darwin's travels on the Beagle which gave him ideas about evolution. Darwin spent almost five years on board HMS Beagle as it sailed around the world. The purpose of the voyage was to map navigation channels around the coast of South America. Darwin was the ship’s naturalist and companion...
Produced by the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) as part of their 'At Work With Science' series, this resource looks at a hypothetical, but realistic, project aimed at producing a new way of treating bacterial infections. In this activity, students first consider what features are important...
