Human Genome Project First 3 Weeks 2013
Objectives: Students will learn about the goals of the Human Genome Project (HGP); discuss the scientific and ethical implication of the project (adapted from discovery learning website www.discoveryeducation.com/teachers/free-lesson-plans/the-human-genome-project.cfm )
Group 1: Scientific findings.
Task: Research the number of genes discovered and their sequence, as well as definitions of key scientific terms such as chromosome , DNA , gene , and protein
Helpful Websites-Group 1: Scientific findings
Human Genome Project 5-Year Plan
Twenty Questions About DNA Sequencing
Human Genome Project Science
Completed Project Display:
The scientific findings display should include a labeled diagram showing the relationships among DNA, genes, chromosomes, and proteins; at least 20 detailed questions you have come up with as a group based on your research.
Reflect and answer:
Each person in the group will randomly draw a question that they must reflect and answer. Typed in 12pt Arial font and added to the group project with question, answer, and name.
Group 2: Potential applications.
Task: Research the tools used to detect genes carrying disease and how this information can be applied to individual treatment plans
Helpful Websites- Group 2: Potential applications
The Human Genome Project: From Maps to Medicine
From the Genome to the Proteome
Completed Project Display:
The potential applications display should present a case study showing how the genes responsible for an illness were identified and how that information was used to develop treatment; at least 20 detailed questions you have come up with as a group based on your research
Reflect and answer:
Each person in the group will randomly draw a question that they must reflect and answer. Typed in 12pt Arial font and added to the group project with question, answer, and name.
Group 3: Ethical implications.
Task: Research the ethical issues involved with screening adults and fetuses for genetic diseases, using new technology to treat diseases, and other issues associated with mapping the human genome
Helpful Websites-Group 3: Ethical implications
National Center for Biotechnology Information
Issues and Bioethics
Center for the Study of Bioethics
The American Journal of Bioethics
Completed Project Display:
The ethical implications display could present a list of issues that have emerged from this new knowledge; at least 20 detailed questions you have come up with as a group based on your research.
