Overview

As a teacher of biology, you’ll have the opportunity to amaze young people with the study of life and living things. One of the highlights of the course for many student teachers is attending the residential Scottish Universities’ Science School (SUSS) where you will meet student teachers of science from the other Scottish Universities. SUSS offers an excellent opportunity to begin networking with other future science teachers.

What prior knowledge do the pupils have about the topic? What misconceptions are they likely to have and how can you address them? What about behaviour management? How can you plan practical work so it engages pupils’ thinking? How can you help pupils to learn to love biology? Once you have the taught the lesson, how you will reflect on what you could do better in future.
