4/3 Biology update and homework due 4/10
Hi folks,
Today we discussed how humans have an effect on the environment and how it causes issues with energy flow and the biogeochemical cycles.
For homework this week, I want you to spend some time with the concept of GMO's. I would like you all to take some time to prepare for a debate on this issue. The topic of the debate will be "Genetically Modified Crops: Helpful or harmful to the human race.
Then in class next week we will take some time debating the issue.
After the debate, I'll collect your notes to make sure you've done some research.
I will also give extra credit to folks who make some nice, well researched, points during the debate.
Be sure your sources are reliable (no GMOSarebadokay.com :) ). When you state your points you may very well want to also state where you found them.
Feel free to bring in graphs or data. If you want me to project it, send it to me ahead of time.
Have fun with this folks. We've had some great discussions in class so far and I'm looking forward to seeing what you all do with this.
I'll be sending an email with your teams directly after this. Please feel free to contact your team members to coordinate.
Good Luck!
Jim Mueller
