Human genome Lesson Plans

Students 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.

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.

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

Students research about the different applications of the Human Genome Project. In this biology activity, students explain the ethical issues surrounding this project. They share their findings in class.

Learners 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.

Young scholars analyze a case study that raises arguments for and against patenting the genetic code. They write editorials about the ethical issues related to decoding the human genome.

Learners 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.

Students investigate the concept of The Human Genome Project and conduct research using the internet and other resources. The information is used in order to create the context for class activities and discussion. The lesson includes background information for the teacher to use.

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.

Young scholars study the Human Genome Project and participate in a debate about the project. In this genome lesson, students review the terms related to the genome project, take a poll about the ethical issues of the project, and watch a video clip about the project. Young scholars research the project using the given websites and print articles for their point of view. Students create a brochure about their point of view and then debate their ideas.
