Cancer Research UK Lesson Plans

Our newly updated fully evaluated lesson plans explore cancer, health and how science works. They are free to download and link to the GCSE Science, PSHE and Citizenship curricula.

Since we first launched the lesson plans in September 2007, we’ve had nearly 20,000 downloads and some great feedback from teachers.
