Today we watched and discussed several video clips on the Human Genome Project, ELSI, Stem Cells and Genetically Modified Organisms. Some of the videos are posted below and others are in the sidebar on the right. Students decided on topics and groups.
Homework: Read the article "Clones, Cats, and Chemicals." Prepare for a discussion in class tomorrow.
Ethical Concerns With Genetic Engineering
Human Genome Project - Ethical, Legal, Social Concerns
This blog is designed to keep students, tutors and parents informed as to what is going on in class. Information for Ms. Saxe's general biology classes will be posted here. Students should check this daily for announcements, resources, homework and links to class projects. Homework may be posted here outside of class. But, to be fair, homework that is due the next day will only be posted before 5pm the day before it is due.
A native of Massachusetts, Ms. Saxe has spent the past three years working at The American School in Switzerland. She is excited to have joined the Lawrenceville community, as teacher, Assistant Housemaster and coach.
