What do teachers say about this resource? (11317)
My first thoughts are what an incredible amount of work went into producing this resource!
I particularly like the range of activities that accompanies each article and the fact that it comes with suggested answers.
Having this pack in the department would certainly save a lot of time for a teacher running a G&T club or preparing students for Oxbridge interviews.
I would use this resource primarily to help prepare students who had interviews for biological science-related degrees (including medicine). It could be offered as additional stretch and challenge work to develop reading skills, critical thinking, research and synoptic thinking.
In addition, these articles could be used as stimulus material for those thinking of topics for their EPQ projects.
