Fabulous! I can't wait to get my kids using this!

I like the way the resource is relevant to the topics studied at KS3 and yet sufficiently different that it provides new and engaging information for pupils.

C Priestley, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

I really like this resource.
It is perfect for differentiation in lessons and the comprehensive nature of the topics ensures that whatever biology topic is being taught - there is something with a link to it.

R Smith, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

It simplified very difficult topics without losing any of the content. This resource extends many of the topics covered by the curriculum and encourages independent thought and could be used to stimulate group discussion.

The resource is excellent for KS3 and complements the new skills-based curriculum as it is encouraging independent thought and stimulating group discussion and could be used as a platform for researching the topics further.

H Owen, HoD and Peer Reviewer

This resource is useful and practical. It is a good resource to have in the classroom to stretch Gifted and Talented students. The topics are relevant and accord with KS3 Curriculum.

The topics that the author included in her list are interesting and engaging, they are at the right level and with the right amount of information necessary to engage students and not overload them.

It is an excellent idea to engage KS3 students that have a strong interest in Biology.

Very good and time saving as it can be very easy to overlook G&T pupils.
