Periods 1-3, 5-7: respond to the film Gattaca today in class, here are something's to think about! The film introduces the concept of a world where children are genetically engineered so that they are the healthiest and best they can be. Would this help advance society? What are your thoughts on creating humans by geneticists? How can this help wipe out human diseases, disorders, and illnesses? Would science be better at creating people versus nature? Is this ethical? Could society one day judge us on our genetic makeup? What problems arise from society like this? How does destiny and determination play a part of our lives in the future? Respond to the film clip today and what it made you feel or think about in regards to "Genoism".
Period 4: Classwork was based on class discussion over the DNA film clips and ideas presented.
You can find the concepts in Chapter 5 of the digital textbook, DNA structure, Important Scientists: Chargaff, Franklin, and Watson and Crick, as well as DNA base pairing rules.
