Biology (Bolterstein/Antkowiak/Peterson) - Genetically Modified Foods
Tips for your research:
1. Start with the Science Reference Center (access it under Research - Research Databases - EBSCO databases). From home, you will need the user name athenhs and the password library.
2. In the Science Reference Center, type genetically modified and then your organism (for example: genetically modified corn).
3. Look in the books that were provided to your class. Search the table of contents or the index for your organism.
4. There is a really good website for you to use (http://www.gmo-compass.org/eng/home/). Use the search box in the upper left-hand corner to search for your particular GMO. There will be a list of results for you to look through.
5. Take a look at the Center for Food Safety ( http://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/campaign/genetically-engineered-food/crops/). Look at their general information, but you can also search for your GMO in the search box (top right corner).
6. Take a look at this Web MD article: http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/are-biotech-foods-safe-to-eat
*If you can't find what you are looking for, ask for help!
*Impress your teachers by providing them with an MLA formatted works cited page instead of just the link and the title. You know how EASY it is using EASY BIB (and the databases do the works cited entry for you!).
