1. Tennessee SPI Objective:
Differentiate between adaptive and assistive bioengineered products (food, biofuels, medicines, etc.)
Essential Questions
1) What are adaptive bioengineering products?
2) What are assistive bioengineering products?
3) What are the differences between adaptive and assistive bioengineering products.
Success Criteria
1) I can identify and describe adaptive bioengineering products.
2) I can identify and describe assistive bioengineering products.
3) I can contrast adaptive and assistive bioengineering products.

2. Bioengineering Technology
What do these words mean?
Bio- life
Engineering- the process used to make technology technology
Technology- refers to anything humans have invented to serve our wants and needs
Bioengineering- making specific technology items that are used with, on, or in living organisms.

3. Bioengineering
The application of engineering to living things, such as humans and plants, is called bioengineering.
Bioengineered technologies can be classified as either assistive or adaptive.
Assistive technologies are developed to help organisms without changing them.
Adaptive technologies change the living organism.

4. Assistive Bioengineering
Technology that is developed to help organisms, but DOES NOT change them.
ASSIST = HELP
Examples:
Eyeglasses
Wheelchairs
Antibiotics

5. Adaptive Bioengineering
Technology developed to help living organisms and DOES change them.
ADAPT = CHANGE
Examples:
Lasik Eye Surgery
Knee replacement
New strains of crop
in agriculture
