Integrated with the Splice of Life: Genetic Engineering Research Model
Ultimately, each scientific team will prepare an eight- to ten-minute video to share with the "studio audience" (your class) to "showcase" their particular genetic engineering specialty. In order to enlighten the average American television viewer's knowledge of genetic engineering, each oral presentation must include four basic components as they relate to your team's specialty. These components are:
- a description of the genetic engineering process
- specific examples of applications of this process in today's society
- a showcase of the benefits of the process
- the identification of the drawbacks of the process
