Genetic Engineering Research Project
This project has students research different points of view about genetic engineering. The goal is to help students realize that not only is genetic engineering a widely used tool for multiple areas of science, but it also a highly debated topic.This project is very easily adaptable to any teaching style or desired outcome. If you would rather the final product be a debate then you can easily change this document to reflect that.**Please note: I previously included articles to be used with th
Human Body Systems Project
This is a packet I put together for my 8th graders who are studying the human body. Students select one system they would like to learn more about, and are given specific instructions on the options they have for their research. They are required to complete each step before moving to the next step. Each step requires teacher approval before moving on. This way, you can avoid students ending up with projects that do not meet your minimum requirements. The project is scheduled to last about 7 to
