Our unit goal is to allow students to: investigate, study, organize, question &
share information about genetically modified foods

Recall the structure of genes
Identify how structure affects
function
Understand how GMO’s are made
Research primary
literature
Evaluate environmental,
economic, and health issues
Instructional Objectives:

Students Brainstorm:• Make a Taco
1. Ingredients are provided on front table
2. Return to seats and enjoy
• Think about it:– What goes into a taco?
• What is it made from?• Where did the tomatoes
come from?• Where did the lettuce
come from? • Where did the meat come
from?Who is responsible for
getting it to us? (hint: farmers, biologists)
Students will think about how genetics affects what they
eat.

The Case Study Begins
I will have slides prepared to
prompt discussions if
needed.
And suggest sites to visit to learn more… if
they ask!

Interest groups will divide and students will read, watch, and research a series of questions to report on.
Groups will play the roles of:
Entomologists
Farmers
Immunologists

There will be common questions and group questions to answer

Oral Presentation
Each team will present their findings to the class. They may use
YouTube, SmartBoard, or any other method of
delivery.

Conclusion•We read literature articles and discussed issues surrounding the use of genetically modified foods
•We recalled the central dogma of molecular biology- replication, transcription, and translation
•We worked in groups to relay our common answers
