Genetic Testing and Bio Engineering: Middle School Science
This science unit helps students understand how heredity plays a key role in diversity among living organisms, as well as consider the role of ethics in genetic science. Students will conduct an investigation, create an editorial for Science Scholar Magazine, and assume the role of lobbyists to develop a presentation. For easy use and customization, files are available in PDF and Word.
Ensuring all students are prepared to succeed in college and career is at the heart of the Common Core State Standards. As teachers work hard to find ways to help all students reach these expectations, we’re working to ensure that there are high-quality instructional materials available that have been developed by teachers for teachers.
School districts around the country are stepping up to address an urgent need: to align curricula to new, high standards and adopt tools to aid teachers in teaching to them. One example is Florida’s Duval County Public Schools.
To do amazing work, teachers need the best tools. Just as chefs use top-grade knives to create a delicious meal, or doctors rely on accurate, dependable medical equipment to care for patients, great teachers use high-quality tools and curriculum aligned to college- and career-ready standards to help their students succeed.
