School STEM Box re-run resources
Genes & Inheritance STEM Box
£300.00 inc. VAT
Genes & Inheritance is a tricky topic to make hands-on and interesting for upper KS2 and transition to KS3, so we teamed up with the University of Sheffield and Strathclyde, the Medical Research Council and the British Society for Gene and Cell Therapy to create a STEM experiment kit that explores inheritance, while also incorporating literacy, maths and medicine.
Centred around a child with a curable inherited eye condition, students will learn about how things are inherited and will conduct a model scientific assay to test for, and treat, the eye condition.
The kit is for a class of 30. It includes:
- Mapping genetic trait keyring kits and class genetic trait tree kits
- Why am I me inheritance game
- Seeing differently make and test genetic eye condition glasses kits
- Test and treat a genetic disease – conduct a scientific assay to test who in the model family has inherited the genetic eye condition
- Teacher Hero Kit with instructions and a simple explanation of the science, extension ideas, learning objective checklist, copyable certificate, homework ideas and timing guide all in a lovely ethical cloth bag
- 30 STEM career aspirations fortune tellers for each child to take home
- Access to additional digital resources
Subject areas: Biology, Chemistry, DT, Physics
STEM Curriculum areas: Working scientifically, evolution and inheritance, senses, living things and habitats, properties and changes of materials, design and technology

Description
The Genes & Inheritance STEM Box
KS2 students will explore STEM, through stories about a real world challenge. One box provides all the equipment you need for approximately 10-12 hours which equals 2 days or 1 hour a week for a term of activity time for a class of 30. There are items in the box which can then be re-used for other classes, and each box maps onto the KS2 STEM curriculum, making this a valuable resource for any school.
