Grade 09

Subject: Grade 9 Biotechnology (BioTech90)


Description
COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course introduces both the principles and the application of recombinant DNA technology to animals, plants and microbial organism. The course describes the use of genetically engineered products to clean the environment and improve human health.

COURSE MAP:

Three times Online Class in a Week.

MODE OF INSTRUCTION:

Asynchronous learning is a general term used to describe forms of education, instruction, and learning that do not occur in the same place or at the same time.

Examples of asynchronous learning:

Watching pre-recorded lecture videos or lessons. Viewing video demonstrations. Reading and writing assignments. Research projects.

Asynchronous communication happens when information can be exchanged independent of time. It doesn't require the recipient's immediate attention, allowing them to respond to the message at their convenience. Examples of asynchronous communication are emails, online forums, and collaborative documents.

COURSE OBJECTIVE:

This course will help the students:
Recognize the foundation of modern technology; develop and appreciation of Recombinant DNA technology and explain the principles that form the basis of this technology and describe the common methods of application of biotechnology with regards to microorganism, plants, animals, medicine and human genome project.
