CUT! How Does CRISPR Work?

Learn about the CRISPR gene editing technology by creating a stop-motion video of the CRISPR-Cas9 molecular mechanism. This pathway includes a deep dive into the CRISPR mechanism and guides you through the video-making process with a brainstorming worksheet, a storyboard template, a video introduction to stop-motion animation, and an assessment rubric for your final stop-motion video. Additional resources highlight the bioethical issues surrounding gene editing.
