GM decisions

Type: Activity
Learning Strategy: Case study
Topic: Genetic engineering

Following a EU rule change, the growing of GM crops across Europe will increase in many countries. It looks likely that GM foods such as breakfast cereals may be on our supermarket shelves within a year – but will many people choose them over GM-free alternatives?

In this activity students apply their knowledge about genes to learn why crops are genetically modified before evaluating health risks to decide which cereal they would buy.

The GM decision activity comes from ENGAGE, the EU-wide project from the upd8 team.
