Curriculum unit plan outlining three structured science sessions for Level 3/4 students that integrate DNA concepts, genetically modified organisms, and bioethical discussion within the Australian Curriculum framework.
Overarching Science Idea: Order, Organisation & Patterns
Level: 3/4
Sessions: 3
Dates: TBA
Overall Aims: Understanding that DNA is life; recognising that DNA patterns change naturally and through human technologies; making informed decisions about food selection and environmental impact; reflecting on attitudes, beliefs and values regarding genetically modified foods; justifying actions in ethical scenarios
Approach: Bioethics
Curriculum Standards: Australian Curriculum — Nature and Development of Science (ACSHE050); Earth and Space Sciences (ACSSU075)

Learning Focus Session 1: DNA in living things; genetic traits in food; natural DNA change
Learning Focus Session 2: Environmental and societal impacts of GMOs; human influence on plant genetics; multiple perspectives in bioethical debate
Learning Focus Session 3: Ethical decision-making regarding food choices and genetic modification
