Should the government be involved regulating genetically modified foods? What should the regulations be? Through socratic seminars in our Science classes, we explored these controversial questions and many others. Students enjoyed the seminars, because they got to debate government involvement in genetically modified foods. Students gathered information with guiding questions and then identified students who shared the same stance. Each student was then paired with a partner, whose job it was to sit on the outer side of the circle and listen to the other partner debate. After about 5 minutes, the students debating would meet with their partners to see what standards they were strong in and how they could improve. Overall, students thought the debating would help them grow in standards not met. Students agreed this was a substantial new way of sharing the information.
