Using SF to Understand Biological Concepts

Have a read of this. Quite old by Internet time, but interesting. I know that reading Asimov, Clarke, Crichton, Niven and OS Card have certainly taught me some science. http://www.woodrow.org/teachers/bi/1994/science_fiction.html Whaddyis think? Al.

fantastic idea!

Much more interesting that wuthering heights etc (though WH was actually a good read.. it was when the teacher over analysed the mention of a mushroom htat I lost interest.) and bound to make the reading of sci-fi seem less "kiddie" than it is now (I know not everyone thinks that way, but a lot do) as well as inspire a whole new generation of sci-fi exposed mad scientists!

me reckons all schools should do this!
