Titel | Using Biotechnology to Detect and Treat Disease |
Beschreibung/Kommentar |
In this media-rich lesson, students learn how biotechnology's techniques and tools are being used to help identify and fight disease, and examine the ethical and privacy issues associated with genetic testing (USA: PBS/Amgen Foundation 2011-19). This four-part lesson begins with a video that examines the threat and mechanism of a bird-borne viral infection (avian flu), as well as the controversial genetics work being done to help prevent future flu pandemics. Following a brief small-group discussion on the consequences and concerns associated with this research, students participate in a class discussion. During subsequent class periods, students learn about some of the tools and techniques researchers use to identify disease-causing genes, about the Human Genome Project and how biotechnicians sequence and analyze DNA, and about some of the emerging privacy and ethical concerns surrounding genetic testing and the gathering and storage of personal information. Each part or class period ends with a suggested extension activity designed to check for understanding. These may be completed during the class period if time allows, or assigned as homework. A culminating activity asks students to assess the cost and benefits of these efforts to understand the human genome and treat disease. |
