BI30-GB3 Impacts of biotechnologies
Assess the
impacts of
historical,
current and
emerging
biotechnologies
on self, society,
and the
environment
Fully meeting expectations, with
enriched understanding (EU)
You can assess the impacts of historical,
current and emerging biotechnologies
on self, society, and the environment.
You show increasingly complex
understanding in increasingly complex
contexts. You may:
 Confidently share the complexity of
science and ethics
 Hypothesize how life may be
different in the future based on
current trends
 Use the idea of biotechnology to
offer solutions to world issues
 Imagine and describe the future
world and explain what it would be
like, connecting to the past and
present
 Explore deeply, the connection
between media and our
understanding and use of
biotechnologies
You show an in depth understanding of
the complexity of biotechnology and you
can expand on your understanding by
taking risks to learn more.
