Discuss and share economic, political and ethical issues.

Lesson idea. This lesson idea concerns the outcomes of the international Human Genome Project including the scientists’ collaboration over DNA sequencing. An A level biology animation and an information sheet offer insights into ‘how science works’ and are used to fuel a discussion.

Teaching approach. This resource provides guidance on how to use whole class(ta) discussion(ta) and/or small group work(ta) to engage students with the science and the economic, political, ethical(topic), legal and social issues of a scientific project such as the HGP. Its focus is on the scientific method(ta); language(ta) and the nature of scientific inquiry(ta). (edit)
