This lesson can be used either in a free-standing citizenship course or within science in schools where departments are contributing to the citizenship program. The lesson asks students to investigate how the school’s provision for meals and sporting activities contributes to students ’wellbeing. The investigation can either be carried out in a single lesson or as a more expansive activity involving the School Council. HC02 Is there a role for the law? The law protects us both from ourselves and others. Many of us have habits that lead to ill health - so should the law step in and control these habits? Businesses produce foods which are full of sugar and fat - but we buy them. Should there be controls over the food that is produced? Many people still smoke, although we know that it is bad for many aspects of our health. Should cigarettes be banned? The lesson asks students to consider these issues, having brainstormed ways in which the law does and could control the way we treat our hearts.

Human Genetics - Science GL1 The genetics lottery: Inheritance and alleles Activities that build on Chapter 1 The genetics lottery in the film Human Genetics and are concerned with inheritance and introduce the key concept of alleles GL2 Matthew’s story: Predicting inheritance Activities that build on Chapter 2 Matthew’s story in Human Genetics and are concerned with predicting inheritance GL3 Kate’s story: Inheritance and the ethical and moral issues Activities that build on Chapter 3 Kate’s story in Human Genetics and are concerned with understanding the inheritance of spinal muscular atrophy and the ethical and moral issues arising when a family with one child with a genetic disease wish for more children GL4 Rhys’s story: Genetic disorders and gene therapy Activities that build on Chapter 7 Rhys’s story in Human Genetics and are concerned with understanding how some genetic disorders can be cured by gene therapy GL5 Sharen’s story: Genetic information in the context of overall lifestyle choices Activities that build on Chapter 8 Sharen’s story in Human Genetics and are concerned with how we use genetic information in the context of overall lifestyle choices GL6 The possible impact of human genetics on society and how decisions about this might be made Activities that build on Chapters 9 and 10 of Human Genetics which discuss the possible impact of human genetics on society and how decisions about this might be made GL7 Genetic screening, the role of government and prioritising health expenditure Activities that build on the Bonus material in Human Genetics which discuss genetic screening, the role of government and prioritising health expenditure. GL8 Personal beliefs about the use of human genetics This activity provides the opportunity for students to reflect on their own personal beliefs about the use of human genetics Human Genetics - Citizenship GC01 Human genetics - explaining the issues The lesson asks students to create a leaflet, aimed at a specific audience, which puts a variety of points of view. The activity not only helps students to develop an understanding of this important social issue, but also encourages them to consider it from the points of view of people who have different opinions on the issue. This lesson can be used independently or as an introduction to Human Genetics: whose point of view? GC02 Human genetics - whose point of view? The use of genetic research to help people overcome problems that result from malfunctioning genes or combination of genes from parents is much debated. Some people think that we should not interfere with nature, while others consider that scientific development should be used to benefit people who suffer, or might suffer from genetic complications. This lesson asks students to consider the issues. This may involve them in arguing a point of view which is not necessarily their own. This helps them to develop an understanding of other peoples’ points of view and makes them think more carefully about their own.

The first lesson asks students to connect the changing trends in immunisation with the change in the number of children catching measles, mumps and rubella. OC02 Immunisation Lesson 2: What does measles do? This lesson looks at the work of the UN which has run extensive, successful measles immunisation programmes in Africa. Students are asked to consider the impact that such programmes can have on a LEDC.
