This interactive course for students explores the question 'What scientific knowledge has influenced the current agricultural practices of the chicken meat industry?' and comprises a series of modules and supporting videos.

Students will work in small groups to answer this question, choosing an area of scientific knowledge to focus on. They will produce a final product such as a website, a video, a poster, an essay or another option that they choose. They will need to produce an infographic explaining the area that they are investigating, for example how the computer-controlled environment works or how vaccines work.

They will present their work to an audience.The modules are supported by a teacher guide.
