Science and Society:
Putting Agricultural Biotechnology in Perspective

This learning area has been designed for grade 6-12 students and their teachers. The units look at agricultural biotechnology and its impacts around the world. Corresponding Virginia Standards of Learning accompany every chapter, and analytical opportunities are numerous throughout the pages.

Students can learn directly from the web pages in the Student Home.

The Teacher Home lists SOLs by subject and chapter, previews the units, and offers all of the learning materials in the Student Home as downloadable files.
