Biotechnology Use in the Real World
In this project, developed by ABE Australia Master Teacher Fellow Amy Chen, students become familiar with the many ways that biotechnology is in the world around us, and how it impacts our lives, and investigate several concrete examples such as cloning, selective breeding, and GMOs. Students consider the many ethical implications as well as the societal impact of biotechnology.
