We used the case as an example of the scientific process with our freshmen Middle Years Programme International Baccalaureate (MYP/IB) biology students. It worked very well and the students enjoyed the step-by-step process. We used sections A, B, C. We also showed a DNA video that had a discussion of sickle cell disease. It was very effective. The case provides an excellent transition from the study of DNA and biotechnology to the study of genetics.
