without breaking ethical and moral values?

- Yes it is, Technology changes us and the world around us in

countless ways. It eases our labor, cures diseases, provides abundant
food and clean water, enables communication and travel across the
globe, and expands our knowledge of the natural world.

Nanotechnology
ACTIVITY 1.

Discuss the benefits and risks of nanotechnology in the society.

BENEFITS RISKS
 Manufacturing Advantages  Environmental Effects

* Medical Advantages
- has the potential to bring major advances * Privacy Technology
in medicine. - raises the possibility of microscopic
recording devices, which would be virtually
undetectable.
- It is possible that nanotechnology can be
weaponized.

ACTIVITY 2.

Write a sound and intelligent stand regarding the question below.

“Is nanotechnology a dream or a reality in the Philippines?”

Note: remember the 3S’s SIMPLE, SHORT BUT WITH SUBSTANCE (pangaasi u. ok?)

- It is a reality, Philippines will have a chance at nanotechnology by finding niche

wherein it utilizes its own unique, indigenous, natural resources. It will help our country
to improve, even revolutionize, many technology and industry sectors. Nanotechnology
has a wide range of potential usages that could produce advancements.

Gene Theraphy
Activity

# 1 Make a table that shows the possible advantages and disadvantages of gene therapy. List at
least 10 each.

Note: Be original. Don’t just copy your answer in the internet

I will not credit redundant answers.

Advantages
Disadvantages
- Can be used to “silence" a disease before its onset.
- short lived nature (repeated theraphy).
- Eliminate and prevent hereditary diseases
- Severe Adverse Effects.
- Achieving pharmacologiocal effects
- Insertional mutagenesis (wrong cell-new disease).
- extend life expectancy
- Difficulty to effectively treat multigenic disorders
- versatile protein delivery system (diabetes, heat disease).

- Persistent expression - Only siomatic cell theraphy allowed

- They can be modified so that they can’t replicate and -They carry a limited amount of genetic material.
destroy cells.
-They can cause immune responses in patients.

# 2 With the unending possibilities offered by gene therapy, what could be our world in the
near future would look like if we pursue the utilization of gene therapy?

- By the help of gene theraphy everything can be possible. We can achieve our dream Clears kin
face and slim body. Gene theraphy is a tool that can change someones life. Thanks to this
powerful innovation of science we can live our dream life in the future.

Note: remember the 3S’s in answering-SIMPLE, SHORT but with SUBSTANCE

I would appreciate it if you make use of your weird but creatively unique mind.
I will not credit half-witted answer. It’s either 100 or 0. Ok?
Biodiversity

ACTIVITIES

# 1. Write your own experience on how and why biodiversity is important.

Note: Remember the 3S’s in writing, SHORT, SIMPLE BUT WITH SUBSTANCE.

- All species are interconnected. They depend on one another. With less biodiversity, these
connections weaken and sometimes break, harming all the species in the ecosystem.
Biodiversity is important to people in may ways. As biodiversity decreases, these systems break
down.

# 2. Make a short video clip centering on how lockdown around the world affects our planet
and its inhabitants.
