Genome Projects Lesson Plans

Students research about the different aspects of the Human Genome Project. In this biology lesson, students create a display of their findings. They discuss potential applications and ethical issues about the Human Genome Project.

In this lesson learners examine the goals of the Human Genome Project. They research issues of the project such as scientific, potential and ethical implications of the project. In addition, they create a presentation to present their findings.

This lesson has learners research about the different applications of the Human Genome Project. In this biology lesson, learners explain the ethical issues surrounding this project. They share their findings in class.

This lesson has students study the Human Genome Project through classroom discussion and the video, Cracking the Code of Life. They research reports about the issues of disease, human health, and the ethical, legal, and societal implications of the Human Genome Project.

Students research The Human Genome Project and discuss what they find.  In this Genome lesson students use Internet site "The Science Behind the Human Genome Project". to research their topic in groups then present their findings.

In this lesson students explore the scientific and ethical ramifications of the Human Genome Project.  In this DNA lesson students divide into groups and use the Internet to research given areas.  They then present what they found to the class.

Students research writings on "the book of life." Students research the human genome project. Students discover the issues of nature versus nurture are still hashed over in the scientific community.

In this lesson students describe genetics as if they were explaining it to a young child. After reading an article, they discover new discoveries in the human genome project. Using the internet, they research a pair of genetic terms and develop a skit. They perform the skits for their classmates.

In this lesson students combine a jigsaw learning technique with an inside/outside review game to learn about genes and the Human Genome Project. In this lesson students will describe DNA, genes and chromosomes.

Students identify examples of the interplay between genes and environment on certain traits and discuss how the Human Genome Project has led to a greater understanding of the role of genes on complex traits.
