Lesson 4 (10 points)
You will have 2 days to complete your reading, question response, and complete jeopardy review questions of the
material.
1. Read the power point on nanotechnology, view the animations, visit the nanotechnology website, and
respond to the questions on the handout.
2. Read the power point on artificial blood and monoclonal antibodies, view any animations, and respond to
the questions on the handout.
3. Work in a group of 4. Develop 5 questions on nanotechnology, 2 on artificial blood, and 2 questions on
monoclonal antibodies.
4. The questions will be asked during a jeopardy review.
