An assembly on the background, discoveries and legacy of four British scientists- one each from the 17th to the 20th Century. Includes lots of images. It discusses that much of the science we still hold to today is built upon the discoveries that each made. The assembly closes by pointing out some of the discoveries that have been made since the year 2000. It also points out that we don’t know yet who will be the most significant scientists of the 21st century- it could be one of the audience. This is a good way of raising British values and the impact of Britain on the culture of the world. It is suitable to advertise British science week but can be used at any time.

A complete lesson covering section 5.1.1 b and c of the OCR Biology specification- how gene linkage and epistasis can affect the phenotypic ratios and how this can be investigated using Chi square. The lesson starts by introducing sex linkage and then includes some examples of genetic crosses involving colour blindness. It then looks at autosomal linkage again using example crosses to support. The lesson the goes on to look at both recessive and dominant epistasis again using lots of examples to support understanding. The lesson closes by introducing the Chi square test As well as the examples the lesson includes lots of exam questions to show how the skills could be assessed I aim to reduce photocopying so all resources are in the PPT (62 slides in total)
