OBJECTIVES
 Analyze and evaluate the benefits and limitations of
various models and methods used in different fields of
science
 Investigate different forms of biotechnology (cloning,
genetic engineering, artificial selection) in society
 Analyze the effects of the different forms of
biotechnology on society and the controversies
surrounding them
 Evaluate current and possible legislation that can be
used to regulate biotechnology
 Develop a “new” type of biotechnology and critique its
possible use in the future
 Compare and contrast artificial selection and natural
selection
 Investigate current uses of Cloning Technologies
