Hands-On Science:
Introduction to
Biotechnology
With this book, students become
familiar with the basic concepts,
techniques, and issues involved
with biotechnology. Each of the
20 included lessons is an experiment
designed to help students
understand biotechnology’s
applications in agriculture, environmental
protection, medicine,
and manufacturing. Throughout
the book, they’ll explore how
biotechnology is as venerable
a process as the making of cheese, and as new a technique
as extracting DNA from living tissue. They’ll also
investigate bioethics and examine possible careers in the
field. Correlates to National Science Education standards.
