Is IVF a miracle of science or simply man interfering in the laws of nature and natural conception? If a couple are infertile is it the will of God or an illness which can be treated like any other infection or disease? Should women past their natural child bearing age or same sex couples be allowed to have children through IVF? This outstanding resource has been tried and tested in the classroom over many years and aims to help students understand some of the ethical and religious arguments for and against IVF. It can be used as a starter, plenary or main activity to accompany any main stream text book or resource on this topic. The nature of the task means that it appeals to the full range of ability.
When you purchase this resource, you will be able to download a single page Word Document which contains a learning objective, instructions, two heading cards as well as eighteen fully editable statements that can sorted under them. I’ve also linked in three video clips to this page which are worthwhile watching with your students depending on their ability.
The aims of this lesson / activity are:

Seating plans are great tool to help you learn the names of your students and sit them according to the data you’ve been given for your students. This great resource is designed to be used as a seating planner for a typical science classroom. Simply pick the layout which best matches your room and then customise the slide. You can then then copy and paste the slide to create a set for your timetable.
When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a Mircosoft PowerPoint which includes eight slides and a title page. Each slide has a standard science classroom layout. On each table there are two name boxes. Simply delete the text and add your pupils names. Please see previews for more information.
The last two slides offer advice on where to sit students based upon research on ‘attention zones’ and the amount of information students retain.
When moving the tables around your template, it sometimes easier to group them together. Once complete, you can beam your new seating plan on your IWB to help you learn their names and so that everyone knows where they are sitting.
