Educators assembling lessons on biotechnology will find much to appreciate in this list of teacher resources from the North Carolina Biotechnology Center. Here readers will find Animations, Audio files, Case studies, Images, Interactives, Lesson plans and Videos in a variety of biotech-related subjects, from agriculture to ethics to genetics. Of the many beneficial resources here, Understanding the Human Genome Project offers a nice representation of the information provided here. The link navigates to a National Institute of Health site that offers timelines, information about genes and gene sequencing, and an excellent lesson on the ethical, legal and social implications of genetic research. Other resources include England's Nuffield Council on Bioethics, which features a number of excellent discussion prompts, and a Sumanas Animation site complete with biotech animations that are perfect for illuminating student understandings of the topic.
