teenagers in classAnimal research is an important, emotive and engaging topic that can enrich subject teaching across the curriculum. In particular it provides an excellent subect for ‘examining the ethical and moral implications of using and applying science', as required by the new key stage 3 programme of study in England, or for exploring the ‘applications and implications of science' at key stage 4.

 

Learning zone

Any discussion about animal research should start with the facts. To save you searching through hundreds of web pages, we have assembled a few short pages which should tell you everything you want to know about how and why animals are used in research. 

 

School speakers

We can supply school speakers free of charge to discuss the subject of animal research in secondary school classes; all we ask is that you're willing to fill in a simple, brief, evaluation form after the visit has occurred.

Speakers are volunteers who usually work with research animals and have a passion for explaining what they do and why.

If you would be interested in hosting a school speaker, click here to fill in our request form. 

See our teachers' FAQ for answers to questions commonly asked by teachers about the school speakers' programme.
