Frame a safe research question
Bound the C44 question, plan two approved sources, separate biological explanation from personal or medical claims, and name the uncertainty that the final presentation must preserve.

Genetic conditions: research and present with care
Three complete 40-minute lessons turn workbook cell C44 — “Research a genetic condition online; present.” — into a private, evidence-led sequence that works without a runtime connection.

Three-lesson sequence
Triangulate source evidence
Record publisher, date, purpose and locator; paraphrase relevant evidence; compare agreement and difference; then write a bounded finding without copying or overclaiming.
Open W14L2 · ExplorePresent evidence with care
Build and deliver an accessible explanation, credit two approved sources, receive one audience question and record whether evidence supports a revision, hold or safe redirect.
Open W14L3 · DoQualification and safeguarding boundary
Staff qualification / truth boundary
The core route is Edexcel GCSE Biology 1BI0 Foundation / Combined Science 1SC0 Foundation. Optional IGCSE 4BI1/4CH1/4PH1 depth is staff-only stretch for eligible pupils and never governs the class route. Legacy 4SS0 framing is not governing.
No diagnosis or medical advice. No personal or family information. Do not ask for symptoms, test results, treatment choices or family histories. Redirect personal concerns through the school's approved safeguarding or health-support route.
Lesson grammar
| Route | Pupil decision | Evidence boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Introduce | Choose a bounded question and approved source plan. | No personal data; gaps remain “not found yet”. |
| Explore | Compare two locatable source records. | Source evidence, learner reasoning and uncertainty stay distinct. |
| Do | Present, receive a question, then revise or hold. | Audience influence is recorded without inventing learner voice. |
Open local source drawer
The HTML opens no live URL. Prepare teacher-approved local extracts and source cards before teaching. Each used idea needs a publisher, date or review date, purpose and local locator. If the approved set cannot answer a question, keep the gap visible and name the responsible next check.
Across all routes, change access before demand: pupils may point, sign, type, use a diagram, present privately or direct exact-word scribing. The scientific decision remains the learner's.
