Process Questions:
1. What organism have you chosen for your transgenic creation, and why?

2. How do the natural characteristics of this organism inspire your genetic modifications?

3. What specific traits have you decided to modify or introduce in your transgenic organism?

4. How do these traits align with your vision for the organism's enhanced capabilities?

5. What did you find most challenging about creating a visual representation of your transgenic organism?

6. How has this activity deepened your understanding of genetic engineering concepts?

Process Questions:

1. What is the scenario presented on your card? Summarize it in your own words.

2. What key elements or factors in the scenario stand out to you?

3.  What ethical dilemmas or considerations are evident in the scenario?

4. How do you weigh the potential benefits against the ethical concerns?

5.  Reflect on your own values and beliefs. How do they shape your opinion on the genetic engineering scenario?

The scene: Janet Cooper, a genetic engineer, arrive s home very excited. She has managed to transfer some cattle growth hormone genes into a chicken. She tells her husband and teenage children (Bob 15 and Lisa 17) that now chickens will grow even faster. They can be slaughtered sooner and therefore farmers will kill more chickens per year and make more money. She is going to patent her invention and hopes to make a lot of money from it.

Husband John likes foreign holidays and fast cars.

Lisa is a vegetarian and belongs to a local animal rights group.

Bob is an active member of his local church and has strong views on “man playing God”.

Imagine how each family member reacts to Janet’s news - and how she reacts to them!

Write a piece of dialogue (or enact a role-play) beginning:

Janet: I can’t wait to tell you all what happened today! Listen to this .....

Process Questions:
1.What is the given family situation related to genetic engineering that you will be role-playing?

2. What are the personal beliefs, values, and motivations of your assigned family member regarding genetic engineering?

3. What did you learn about the complexities of discussing genetic engineering within a family setting?

4. How did different family scenarios contribute to a diverse understanding of genetic engineering?

1. What is the selective breeding scenario presented on your card? Can you provide a brief summary for the group?

2. Are there any particular aspects of the scenario that you find interesting or challenging?

3.  Consider the potential environmental impact of the selective breeding scenario. How might it affect ecosystems or biodiversity?

4. How does the environmental aspect influence your decision when voting?

1. What are your activities all about?
2. How will you apply your understanding of genetic engineering concepts in the practical aspects of this activity?

3.  What was the most enjoyable part of the activity for you?

4.  How might your own beliefs and values influence your perception of genetic engineering?

5.  In what ways has this experience contributed to your overall appreciation for the complexities of genetic engineering?
