Biotechnology: Exploring the Intersection of Biology
and Technology
Objective:
Students will be able to explain how biotechnology combines biology and technology to
develop solutions in healthcare, agriculture, and environmental conservation.
Assessment:
Students will complete a project where they choose a specific biotechnological
advancement (e.g., CRISPR, personalized medicine, or biofuels) and create a presentation
that outlines its applications, implications, and relevance to society. This will assess their
understanding of key concepts and their ability to communicate effectively.
Key Points:
● Definition of Biotechnology: Understanding biotechnology as the integration of
biological sciences with technology.
● Applications: Identifying applications in healthcare (e.g., gene therapy), agriculture
(e.g., genetically modified organisms), and environmental conservation (e.g.,
bioremediation).
● Genetic Engineering: Exploring how techniques like CRISPR are used to modify DNA
for specific purposes.
● Personalized Medicine: Discussing how biotechnology is revolutionizing healthcare
through tailored treatments based on individual genetic profiles.
● Ethical Considerations: Recognizing the ethical implications of biotechnological
advancements.
Opening:
● Begin the lesson with a short video highlighting recent advancements in
biotechnology (e.g., CRISPR technology).
● Pose the question: "How could biotechnology change the world we live in?"
● Engage students in a brief class discussion to share their thoughts and predictions.
Introduction to New Material:
● Present a PowerPoint that covers the key points, including definitions, applications,
and ethical considerations.
● Incorporate real-world examples and case studies to illustrate each application.
● Allow for student questions and discussions after each section to foster engagement.
● Common Misconception: Some students may believe that all genetically modified
organisms (GMOs) are harmful without understanding the science behind the
modifications.
