Designed as a wall display, this resource explains how the Lateral Flow tests work. The display is aimed at 11-15 year olds and for this reason is not exactly Biologically accurate - but it explains the basic concept of a sandwich assay and how antibodies can be used in technology. You could also use it as a power point for uses of monoclonal antibodies or as an introduction to Bioassays. Hopefully the pupils will learn some relevant Biology whilst lining up for their testing!

A summary activity suitable for homework or class work. Allows students to use the three key words repeatedly and in different contexts. Includes a summary reading cloze so students do not need to copy notes. Extension activity discusses the use of the prefix ‘trans’.

A crossword suitable for homework that complements the KS3 science unit ‘light’. Using a glossary the students decipher clues for light related keywords.
