BSCS Genome Educational Modules

The Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS), with support from the DOE Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues program, is offering single copies of three educational modules at $4 each for shipping and handling. Designed for use by high school and college teachers and students, these modules provide background information and classroom activities and explore ethical, legal, and social issues related to the module's topic.

Currently Available Modules

• Mapping and Sequencing the Human Genome: Science, Ethics, and Public Policy (1992): Objectives and technology behind the Human Genome Project.
• The Human Genome Project: Biology, Computers, and Privacy (1996): Information technology as it relates to the genome project. Includes structures, uses, limitations, and implications of genomic databases through both print materials and software.
• The Puzzle of Inheritance: Genetics and the Methods of Science (1997): Uses non- traditional inheritance to demonstrate the nature and methods of science.

Module Under Development

Under a 24-month grant from DOE, BSCS is developing a fourth module, tentatively titled Genes, Environment, and Human Behavior. It will be distributed free of charge to all interested high school biology teachers and other educators in late 1998 or early 1999.
