Item description

Stem Cells consists of four handy, printable black-and-white Student Worksheets (PLUS Answer Sheets) that will save teachers valuable lesson preparation time AND help students to understand and/or revise the complex nature of stem cells, including stem cell therapy. Suited to students in years 10 – 12, this resource can easily be used as classwork, homework, revision exercises or even tests. It includes a revision crossword puzzle.

Content covered:

• what are ‘stem cells’?

• difference between embryonic and adult (somatic) stem cells

• types of stem cells: unipotent, oligopotent, multipotent, pluripotent and totipotent

Along with printable worksheets, a digital (PowerPoint) version is included here at no extra cost, giving teachers a choice as to which they prefer to use – taking into account the different learning styles of their students.

Stem Cells includes an Answer Key (PDF) with images in full colour that look great on the big screen and can be used to facilitate good class discussion. Answers provided are also highly detailed, so there is no need to research or fact-check here; it’s all been done for you!

I hope you and your students find this product useful and that you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed creating it!
