Resource guide for secondary school students
- Students interested in genetics and genomics can find a selection of links on our Student Resource Guide padlet.
Senior biology teachers
- Garvan’s Kinghorn Centre for Clinical Genomics has developed a collection of curriculum-aligned geneticsresources for HSC Biology teachers, including a depth study and stand-alone classroom activities.
- The following resources could align with a focus on genetic screening and genomic technologies
- Six Ws of Genetic Testing- A scenario-based activity introducing medical applications of DNA testing
- Medical Applications of Genetic Technologies– This activity is designed to answer the syllabus inquiry question “Does artificial manipulation of DNA have the potential to change populations forever?”
- You can also find links to external resources on ourGenetic Teaching Resources padlet
Year 10 science teachers
- Links to genetics teaching resources freely available online can be found on our Genetics Teaching Resources padlet.
- We are working with science teachers to develop additional resources to support the teaching of Year 10 genetics. Please get in touch if you would like to be involved.
