1. Ask a question

2. Do Research

Make a hypothesis- a simple, testable statement that predicts the answer to your question.

3. Experiment

4. Analyze the data

5. Publish the results

BALANCE OF LIFE

6. What is the balance between preserving the

Biotechnology- the use of technology to enhance

living organisms and their processes.

Bioethics- the study of ethical situations in

biology and medicine.
