Instructional Ideas
- Flip the lesson having class members watch the video out of class and then return ready to discuss what they have learned
- Include in your unit about genes and the Human Genome Project
- Prompt your class to conduct further research on the Human Genome Project, including its history and future implications
Classroom Considerations
- It's difficult to return to the video once you've begun the assessment; therefore, open the assessment in another tab
- Covers a lot of the research, competition, and strategies, but not a lot of the actual research
Pros
- Comes with a short assessment at the end of the video, as well as a list of additional resources and references
Cons
- None
