Classwork:
1. Conduct presentations on topics for groups not yet covered.
2. Share presentations and make notes to answer questions for one of each area: medical, agricultural, industrial (see task information).
3. Complete the test question, using the marking criteria and sample answers for two (attached) as a guide:
Evaluate the benefits of using genetic technologies in medicine, agriculture and industry using named examples.
Homework: Start watching three Dr Col videos a night, from #10 - #21, and filling out the notes around your presentations.
The italicised outcomes are ones you covered in the recent presentation task.
To expand your notes and direct the specific outcomes listed below towards the presentation information, it will be helpful over the next days to:
in class go to Atomi lessons 'Biotechnology and Genetic Technologies" and
at home watch Dr Col Harrison's videos #10-#22
Biotechnology:
Inquiry question 2: How do genetic techniques affect Earth’s biodiversity?
● investigate the uses and applications of biotechnology (past, present and future), including analysing the social implications and ethical uses of biotechnology, including plant and animal examples Dr Col #10 [13.37 mins]
– analysing the social implications and ethical uses of biotechnology, including plant and animal examples
– researching future directions of the use of biotechnology Dr Col #11 [12.20 mins]
– evaluating the potential benefits for society of research using genetic technologies Dr Col #12 [12.11 mins]
– evaluating the changes to the Earth’s biodiversity due to genetic techniques Dr Col #13 [10.52 mins]
Genetic Technologies
Inquiry question 3: Does artificial manipulation of DNA have the potential to change populations forever?
● investigate the uses and advantages of current genetic technologies that induce genetic change Dr Col #14 [9.31 mins]
● compare the processes and outcomes of reproductive technologies, including but not limited to:
– artificial insemination Dr Col #15 [7.15 mins]
– artificial pollination Dr Col #165 [9.11 mins]
● investigate and assess the effectiveness of cloning, including but not limited to:
– whole organism cloning Dr Col #17 [9.53 mins]
– gene cloning Dr Col #18 [10.06 mins]
● describe techniques and applications used in recombinant DNA technology, for example:
– the development of transgenic organisms in agricultural and medical applications Dr Col #19 [12.09 mins]
● evaluate the benefits of using genetic technologies in agricultural, medical and industrial applications Dr Col #20 [10.05 mins]
● evaluate the effect on biodiversity of using biotechnology in agriculture Dr Col #21 [10.11 mins]
● interpret a range of secondary sources to assess the influence of social, economic and cultural contexts on a range of biotechnologies Dr Col #22 [8.48 mins]
Homework: Continue watching three Dr Col videos a night, from #10 - #22, and filling out the notes around your Biotechnology presentations.
