Our last question! Hands on practical work and the development of practical skills are highly valuable @RoyalSocBio’s view is that digital technology & videos can be useful supplements, but shouldn’t replace in person experiences - what do you think? #chatbiology #EduSky #iTeachBio #SciTeachUK

Welcome to Q1 of tonight's #chatbiology Practical activities can increase students’ knowledge and understanding of the biological world, equipment and procedures - what else? ➡️ @RoyalSocBio explores the role of practicals and skills developed here: https://buff.ly/4gE66ks

Onto Q2! Surveys in schools suggest that the introduction of required practicals at GCSE and A level, and the pandemic, has changed amount of time dedicated to practicals and fieldwork. @RoyalSocBio is aware funding and time are limited - what's your experience? #chatbiology

I'd forgotten how good the University of Utah's genetics resources were. Great interactive transcription and translation activities and mutation case studies including six-toed cats! #ITeachBio. learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/basi...
