Genetic Futures Website
Y Touring has launched GeneticFutures an online resource
for teachers and students approved by the National
Grid for Learning. Below is an extract from the BECTA
review of our site......
"This site provides and excellent introduction
to genetics as well as allowing students to push
the boundary on the possibilities of genetic modification,
cloning and xenotransplantation.
It has an interesting and
very engaging way of putting the possible issues across
and links very well
to the new Science Key Stage 4 Programme of Study, released September 2006 .
It would also be an excellent resource for teaching 21st Century Science GCSE.
