After brainstorming in small groups about what they thought biotechnology was all about, we got started on our first big activity for this unit. ("This is a Line up")Students were given an event from biotechnology history and asked to find its place on a timeline posted on the wall. Students had to interact with each other and reason through where each event might be located and why. They then had to make their selection as to where then felt they needed to stand on the timeline. As a whole group, we then discussed where the events actually belonged and why. We also took a look back at some of our ideas from our original brainstorm about biotechnology and made some corrections to our original ideas.
