Synopsis: In this unit students will be able to make real world connections to biotechnology. The information published here goes from the basics of biotechnology which is an 8th grade standard but also dives deeper. Students will learn about the ethical issues that biotechnology creates as well as the lives that it supports. There will be some cross curricular learning as students learn about the history of North Carolina through agriculture. Many different cultures are included in this journey historically and present day. A lesson is included that allows students to talk about careers in the stem world that biotechnology has opened up and the significant implications to our everyday lives. This curriculum unit is meant to be taught across several standards which will then also assist students in understanding how multiple scientific disciplines lend themselves to one another. Scholars also get an introduction to agriculture and marketing as they build their own businesses to showcase local North Carolina agricultural products.
