In this engaging unit, developed by ABE Australia Master Teacher Fellow Vanessa Gibbens, students explore real-world applications of biotechnology. Through hands-on use of biotechnology techniques such as PCR, gel electrophoresis, and bioinformatics, students become more familiar with the ways biotech is relevant in their lives. Students complete the unit with a self-directed research project, applying their understanding to modern challenges in health, agriculture, the environment, or a topic of their choice.
