(say advocates). Unnatural, unforeseen consequences, insufficient
testing, forced down our throats (say opponents). Sample arguments
on both sides and decide for yourself. (Grades 6-8, 9-12)
Engineer a Crop (Hot Science)
Compare the traditional method of selective breeding with one of the
latest transgenic methods in this online activity. (Requires
Shockwave plug-in
for selective breeding;
Flash plug-in for
transgenic manipulation.) (Grades 6-8, 9-12)
Interviews
Explore some of the issues in genetic engineering in these
interviews with scientists, government officials, farmers, and
critics of genetically modified foods. (Grades 9-12)
Guess What's Coming to Dinner?
In coming years, genetically altered foods will increasingly fill
supermarket shelves. This clickable illustration gives you a peek at
what might be to come, from the engineered ingredients in your pizza
and sushi to those in your French fries and coffee. (Grades 3-5,
