Nuffield Council on Bioethics
The Use of Animals in Research
These Nuffield Council on Bioethics resources aim to help students make informed decisions about the use of animals in research.There are 10 activities to choose from, made up of individual starters, activities, plenaries and an assessment exercise which can be dropped into a lesson or used as a whole according to a chosen programme of study. In science, for example, the activities could give an applied dimension to study of the nervous system. In citizenship they provide a context for looking at pressure groups, the media or a topical, controversial issue which provides a basis for ethical discussion.
