Public Awareness Commercial

Students use the information they gained from my Advanced Biotechnology course to choose the top 5-10 topics in biotechnology that demonstrate the importance to this area of science (can be used for any course/topic/area of study).
Next they need to do additional research in each area to determine how that area has affected our lives. They also need to locate pictures/video clips that demonstrate this area of science.
Once they have completed their research, they will use Windows Movie Maker ( you can use any video software- this is just the one we have available at our school) and create a short 2 minute commercial deomstrating the importance of biotechnology. They are encouraged to use many graphics/visuals, as well as text to promote biotechnology and encourage students to enroll in the Biotechnology courses offerred at our school.
