This is an animation (and/or student information sheet) that can be used to inform discussion about ‘How science works’ through: | |||
(i) in the context of the Human Genome Project and the outcomes of this international collaboration | |||
It also covers specific A2 Science/ Biology content: | |||
(ii) how scientific techniques can be derived from natural biological processes; this animation demonstrates how the principles of the Sanger sequencing method are derived from the natural process of DNA replication | |||
(iii) how recombinant DNA techniques were used in the Human Genome Project to clone DNA sections for sequencing. | |||
Optional Lesson Activity (5 – 10 mins) | |||
(i) there is a related paper-based student activity (see SC0016) which includes a DNA to Data worksheet activity in which students can arrange stages of the DNA sequencing process in the correct order. | |||
Optional Pre-lesson preparation – Homework activity: | |||
It would be helpful to have some preparatory familiarisation with the animation/ information sheet resources and encourage students to research into the issues faced by stakeholders - individuals, organisations, the scientific community and governments – during the Human Genome Project. HGP outcomes, benefits, ethical, legal and social issues could be set as pre-lesson preparation, or a Homework activity. | |||
