Hello!
How are you? Today, let's look at some important scientific and technological discoveries over time. There are so many, so we'll look at some key ones!
Look at the picture above. It's of Dolly the sheep, the world's first cloned animal. While Dolly did not live long, this cloned sheep has helped us to learn much more about what is involved with cloning, how it can advance biological and medical science - and also what the dangers of cloning could be.
Activity
Look at the terms below. First, can you match them to the right pictures?
Second - now choose 1-2 of these discoveries and explain what is important or significant about them in your own words.
Here is an example about cloning:
The importance of cloning could be how it helps us to understand genetics on a deeper level. Perhaps it could help us understand how similar - and different - genetic traits within families are, especially with twins. It might also lead to development of gene therapies that can eliminate some tendencies for diseases or disorders in people and animals. (…)
NEW! Here are the board notes from our class on 9/17:
I hope you find these interesting. Take care!
