Create a 20 minute research activity where the student must find out information about a biotechnology. They need to discover what person/group of people discovered it, how it is connected to biology, how it is used, results of the technology, possible negative outcomes of the technology and how readily available the biotechnology is. The teacher will have a list of technologies that the students will pick from.

This learning resource focuses on a comprehensive case study in biotechnology. Students are tasked with researching a specific biotechnology to understand its history, connections to biological processes, current applications, and societal impact. The resource encourages an independent exploration of the technology's discovery, biological links, and its usage in various fields such as medicine and agriculture. It also emphasizes the need to consider both the benefits and ethical concerns associated with the biotechnology, including potential risks and accessibility for the general public. Through this analysis, students will develop a well-rounded perspective on the implications of biotechnology in modern society.
