Carbon cycle card sort, designed for low attaining KS3 group, but also a good higher tier starter activity.

Students need to take 3 random sweets (tokens would work too, different colours are required) at the start of the activity. <br /> <br /> Go through the story, with students adding up scores as you go along. the aim of this is to show students more than one gene can affect the phenotype, and that the effect of mutations can be beneficial, neutral or negative.

Students pick which questions they answer, if they go for lower level they have to complete more to get to the minimum score.
