Raising levels of student interest in less popular areas of the biology curriculum: can teacher CPD help?
Issue 348 | Page 127 | Published Mar 2013
Description
An opportunity for teachers to join 80 outstanding biological sciences undergraduates in a series of practical sessions and lectures at the 2010 Gatsby Plant Science Summer School has inspired the development of teaching and learning resources for use in schools. Plant scientists have a crucial role to play in society and it is hoped that the resources will help to stimulate interest in this important but less popular area of the biology curriculum.
