


Contextual clues in the selections
Your knowledge of the science of DNA and genes
Your recollection of events in the media.
Articles reflect current thought for the time
First article published in 1953; the last in 2003
Discuss in group; come to consensus
Choose one member of your group to speak

Did your ideas about the sequence match each other?

What clues or events prompted you to make choice?
Do not discuss your ideas with other groups

What is the difference between science
and engineering?
Definitions

Science

Body of knowledge about natural phenomena
which is:
Well founded
 Testable



Purpose is to discover, create, confirm,
disprove, reorganize, and disseminate
statements that accurately describe some
portion of physical, chemical, biological world
“Science is the human activity of seeking
natural explanations for what we observe
in the world around us.”
Definitions

Engineering

Systematic design, production and operation
of technical systems to meet practical human
needs under specified constraints

“Engineering. . . in a broad sense. . . is
applying science in an economic manner
to the needs of mankind “
