  2. Abstract “Science is the process of learning, not the facts we learn.” With this in mind, we have developed problem based learning modules about biotechnology that emphasize student involvement and real world problems. The purpose is to ensure that the students will leave the classroom with a clear understanding and an appreciation for some of the technical and ethical issues in biotechnology in a way that relates each issue to their own lives.

  3. Learning Modules Module 1: Exploring the Chemistry of Life Module 2: Genetics, Ethics and Society Module 3: Fighting Cancer with Fabulous Foods

  4. Benefits of Problem Based Teaching • High school students are exposed to real world biotechnology phenomena and must apply their knowledge of biology and chemistry to relate each module to their own lives. • Each student gleans newfound knowledge based upon his/her personal reactions to new material that is presented.

  5. Benefits of Problem Based Teaching • The high school biology teacher allows the students to participate in learning by presenting them with current materials that relate to textbook readings; the students and teacher interact on a common level, which facilitates maximum inception of knowledge.

  6. Benefits of Problem Based Teaching • Learning modules are supplements to regular classroom activities, including laboratory exercises, hands-on interaction with materials, and normal assessments (based upon teacher’s discretion). • Problem based teaching has been used effectively within the ISAT biotechnology department and can be applied at the high school level.
