The American Association for the Advancement of Science offers this publication to probe some of the issues raised by genetic research. Based on issues raised by the Human Genome Project, the site offers a set of "what if..." case studies designed to start discussions of issues related to genetic research. What can genetic testing reveal? Who should know the information? Does the fact that we can clone an animal mean that we should? The site provides lots of great discussion starters accompanied by sound scientific explanations.

tag(s): genetics (84)

In the Classroom

Use this site to familiarize your students with current issues in genetic research. Have students choose one of the topics from the table of contents to read and research. Once they have an opinion about the topic, they should conduct research to support their position. If your students are inexperienced conducting research you may want to use a tool like Go, Ask, Achieve, reviewed here, an interactive and engaging tool for students to learn the formal research process. After completing a little research, form teams, by topic, and divide those teams into those who are in favor of the issue or those who are against the issue. Have student topic teams prepare for a debate with each other either with the class as the audience, or use a tool like Virtual Debate, reviewed here. Alternatively, students could view past debates on Virtual Debate to analyze pro and con arguments and effective strategies for debating.
 This resource requires PDF reader software like Adobe Acrobat.

This rich and complex site investigates systems science and cybernetics in an attempt to integrate technology into an organized philosophy. The site solicits contributions on cybernetic epistemology, process metaphysics and even asks and discusses the meaning of life! This is a thought-provoking, challenging yet quite lucid source of information. Suggestion: Let the "techies" in your class loose to wander around this bit of ether!

This site is an on-line version of Classroom Compass, a quarterly publication. Instructional activities are linked to TIMSS and include excerpts from the National Science Education Standards and the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics. A good site for teachers looking for interactive science or math ideas to illustrate abstract concepts. A great source for daily problem solving questions.

tag(s): problem solving (287)

In the Classroom

Use the "Afterschool Lesson Plan Database" to look for ideas with classroom lessons. The site has lessons turned in from teachers around the nation, who have used them in practice, so be sure to give it a look when dealing with an especially difficult concept.
