Genetic engineering - KS3 Low Ability

This dyslexia-friendly lesson is aimed firmly at lower ability 11-14 year old learners, and keeps the science very simple. It is a follow-up to my selective breeding lesson, and is designed to give a highly visual overview of how genes are transferred between organisms. Animations give a clear and simple description of the (simplified) process. Technical language is kept to a minimum. There is an opportunity for learners to use devices to research GMOs of their choice.

Here are links to all resources in this topic: Genes and inheritance, Genes and environmental variation, Selective breeding, Genetic engineering, and Punnet squares

The PowerPoint uses dyslexia-friendly background, font, and character spacing. Icons indicate the nature of each section - e.g. group work, video, or note-taking. Key words and definitions are also included. Feedback on this dyslexia-friendly style would be greatly appreciated!
