Biotechnology - Awesome Science Teacher Resources
Biotechnology
A Multimedia Journey
In the day and age that we live, biotechnology is a very hot subject. Topics such as stem cells, genetically modified food and designer babies are things that people used to only be able to read about in science fiction novels. In 2007 most of these “farfetched ideas” are an actual reality. It is almost impossible to read the newspaper or watch TV without hearing about one of these topics. The range of biotechnology is astounding and unfortunately we do not have enough time in class to really delve into them. Your project will do just that.
