Science is powerful! Using the case and life of Henrietta Lacks, students will learn not just about the biology of cells and the potential of research to save lives, but the ethics of scientific research and the historical underbelly of scientific advances. English language learners will develop content language while discussing the abuse of science against minority communities and how we can work to make science better. Honors students will be challenged with research-based analysis. All students will construct rigorous content knowledge and develop connections from each standard to themes and events in the book throughout the semester, culminating in a podcast project to share with the wider community.
