Researchers and institutes funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), as well as a number of educational organisations, have developed packs of scientific trump cards based on the popular ‘Top Trumps’ game.

This guide:

  • helps you use them effectively when doing outreach activities or lessons
  • provides ideas for ways to get the most out of a pack of trump cards with a class of pupils
  • includes links to card sets.
