Screening for genetic disorders lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Specification (9-1).
Designed for a higher ability TRILOGY(combined science) class, although content can be adjusted to suit any ability. Includes: slide animations, embedded videos and practice questions with answers on slides as well as a quiz. This video contains many videos and is a great lesson to spark a debate. I'd appreciate a review after your lesson :)
AQA spec link: 6.1.7
Relevant chapter: B13 Genetics and reproduction. AQA Biology third edition textbook-Page 214-215.
Some disorders are inherited. These disorders are caused by the inheritance of certain alleles. • Polydactyly (having extra fingers or toes) is caused by a dominant allele. • Cystic fibrosis (a disorder of cell membranes) is caused by a recessive allele. Students should make informed judgements about the economic, social and ethical issues concerning embryo screening, given appropriate information.
WS 1.3 Appreciate that embryo screening and gene therapy may alleviate suffering but consider the ethical issues which arise.

This is a fantastic resource - it has challenge/stretch in addition to plenty of engagement (videos) and debate. Although only one worksheet is included I do feel this resource is easy to differentiate - as I have down for a less able class. Quite a lot of resources on here often require time consuming tweaking but this one is really adaptable! Love it!
Fully comprehensive resources that saved me a lot of time!!
I bought this as part of a bundle and has really saved me lots of time in this season of mock marking and report writing. Thanks, great resource!
This is a really good idea for a lesson. T videos are good but do not work properly unless you unzip it by dragging into your download folder. Chorionic villus sampling is not mentioned in the ppt though so you will need to add a slide in regarding this.
