In this video interview created for Teachers' Domain Professional Development, high school teacher Diane Provenzano talks about the challenges of teaching biotechnology: keeping up with new scientific findings, techniques, and equipment; and fitting the topic into your mandated curriculum.

open Discussion Questions

  • Do you think you would have the same challenges as Ms. Provenzano? What, if any, other challenges do you foresee?
  • Find the section in your standards that includes biotechnology. (Note: Biotechnology may not be listed as such in some state frameworks; instead, its definition, concepts, and applications may be included as part of a broader topic, such as genetics, science/technology, or society.) How can you integrate biotechnology topics to meet some of these standards?
