INTRODUCTION TO BIOTECHNOLOGY

Each lesson is an experiment designed to help students understand biotechnology’s applications in agriculture, environmental protection, medicine, and manufacturing. Throughout the book, they’ll explore how biotechnology is as venerable a process as the making of cheese, and as new a technique as extracting DNA from living tissue. They’ll also investigate bioethics and examine possible careers in the field. Use Hands-On Science: Introduction to Biotechnology as a complete introductory program, as a replacement unit, or as an enrichment experience. Each activity includes teacher notes, materials lists, and assessments. Hands-On Science: Introduction to Biotechnology correlates to National Science Education standards.
