    Heyqueen
    This document outlines a Year 12 Biology depth study assignment on genetic technologies, DNA, and disease. Students will research a genetic disease and technology that could diagnose, prevent, or treat that disease. They will develop an inquiry question to evaluate the benefits and risks of using the genetic technology for their chosen disease. Class time will be spent developing an understanding of medical genetics and conducting independent research and writing a report. The report will introduce the inquiry question, describe the genetic disease and technology, evaluate the risks and benefits of using the technology to address the question, and conclude. Students will also submit a logbook documenting their research process. The assignment assesses students' working scientifically skills and knowledge of genetic inheritance, change, and technologies used to

    Sample Student Outline

    Year 12 Biology Depth Study


    GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES, DNA & DISEASE

    Medical applications of genetic technology are important for


    the syllabus and your future lives as informed citizens and
    consumers. All medical technologies have limitations, benefits
    and risks, so they must be carefully evaluated before they are
    adopted.

    During this depth study, you will become expert in a disease


    you choose. You will also select a genetic technology that could be used to diagnose,
    prevent or treat that disease. You will develop an inquiry question that can be
    addressed with an evaluation of the benefits and risks of the genetic test or
    technology in the context of your chosen disease. This should include the potential
    benefits and limitations of the technology as well as associated social, ethical, legal
    or economic issues.

    Examples of inquiry questions


    “Should we sequence the genomes of newborns to diagnose inherited heart
    diseases”
    “Should gene editing be used to treat sickle cell anaemia”

    Class time for this depth study will be divided between activities that develop your
    background understanding of medical genetics, and time for independent research
    and report writing. Resource guides will be provided to support your research.

    Nature of Assessment task


    You will present your evaluation as a report with the following sections:
     Introduction outlining inquiry question
     About the genetic disease
     About the genetic test or technology
     Risks and benefits (evaluation of the inquiry question)
     Conclusion

    Your report should include in-text citations and reference list according to school
    guidelines.

    You will also hand in a logbook that includes


     Evaluation of your inquiry question and justification of any changes you make
     Formative feedback on disease summary produced during week #
     Peer evaluation of an evidence plan for your report produced during week #
    o See attached template
