Event details

As an experienced technician or teacher, you will be aware that many biology practicals do not give expected results in lessons. You might also lack confidence with practicals that support teaching in new areas of biology. This hands-on course looks at ways to resolve the problem of getting consistent results, considering a range of key practicals in current GCSE and A level specifications. We will also introduce techniques for gene technology and explore practicals that relate to other recent developments in biology.

This is an intermediate biology course and assumes you are familiar with the health and safety aspects of your work and with the foundational skills covered in Supporting Safe and Successful Biology I.

Please note that the content of the course will be periodically updated to reflect developments in the school curriculum.

What will the course include?

  • health and safety and risk management in biology
  • dealing with complex biology equipment
  • dealing with complex biology processes
  • dealing with the variability of living organisms
  • dealing with variability of biochemical processes
  • dealing with a range of slow biological processes

Course Fee: £99.00

This is for a full day of professional development, all CLEAPSS course resources, lunch and refreshments.
