Lesson Plan Content
Description:
Scientists have increased food production by using genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The resulting foods are known as bioengineered (BE) foods. This use of GMOs has consumers wondering: Is this a good thing or not? In this lesson, students will learn how much of the corn and other farmed goods produced in the U.S. are GMOs(BE foods). They will then write an argument supported by evidence on use of GMOs in our society. This lesson includes strategies for diverse learners (ELLs).
