• Does your school have a resources website you would like others to visit?
• Have you discovered a great site you think other teachers should see?

We want to enhance this list on the Science Year and ASE websites during the year, so if you would like to recommend a website please send a brief email description to the ASE Science Year team.

FEEDBACK FORM

These websites are all good sources of information and you could build them into interactive worksheets like those at Schoolscience.

Science Year should be about encouraging the sharing of good resources that work. If you have any resources that you have developed and are happy to share why not do this on the ASE website at www.scishop.org

Some of these web addresses link directly to specific pages. They were correct at our time of press but could have changed in the meantime. If that is the case, using the front section of the url address may link you to the main site.

Pupils email DNA messages for the receiver to decode. There's no pretence at biological correctness in the coding, yet it does get across the concept of DNA as a universal code and it's fun for pupils to do. There is also a wealth of information regarding DNA applications e.g. forensics. A nice homework idea.
