****ADD A FOLDER TO YOUR PORTFOLIO TITLED "3.4 Genetic Engineering." AND SAVE ALL WORK IN YOUR FOLDER****
Goal Standard: Students will understand that organisms reproduce and transmit genetic information (genes) to offspring, which influences individuals’ traits in the next generation.
Do the benefits of GMOs outweigh the risks?
Learning Experience:
Mini Lesson (must-do)
Genetically Modified-Reading (must-do/should-do)- If you do both it counts as your 1 should do BUT you need to complete at least the must-do part)
Positions, Beliefs, and Values (must-do)
Genetic Engineering- Pros and Cons (must-do)
EdPuzzle- Genetic Engineering (should-do)
Genetic Engineering and the COVID Vaccine (should-do)
Exploring Gene Therapy- Space Doctor Game (aspire to-do)
Evidence:
An in-depth explanation of your stance on genetic engineering/GMOs that is backed by evidence and supported by personal schema and reasoning
Assignment: Complete the edpuzzle and turn in a google doc that records the evidence that you determined was important for your stance on genetic engineering.
Use THIS WEBSITE to access the video above. It is toward the bottom of the article. The picture above is to there to help you know which video to look for.
The article and the video explain scientists use genetic engineering to create vaccines. We are currently using this process in way that will produce a vaccine quicker than ever before.
Consider the pros and cons of this.
Infer what some potential drawbacks and positives could be.
Should we use this as an example to support or warn people about the potential of genetic engineering?
Create a news story or advertisement of some sort encouraging or warning people about the potential impact genetic engineering could have on society.
Use this as a way to prepare for your final assessment.
