Researchers at the Oxford Genomics Centre are able to read DNA and have used this technology to investigate areas such as how cancer appears in our bodies, how malaria is carried by mosquitoes and how diabetes works. Their work would not be possible without that of the many scientists who went before them.
In this activity students work in groups to build a timeline of DNA discoveries and find out how our understanding of DNA has progressed from the 1800s to the present day.
Learning outcomes:
- Students learn the function of DNA
- Students research the work of scientists throughout history
- Students learn how scientists build on each other’s work
