Determine the scientific subject that you desire to teach. Having a certain area that you want to discuss will help you to more efficiently find research articles. For example, you may choose to discuss gel electrophoresis, the process by which DNA is analyzed in an agar solution in order to make necessary comparisons.
Do research about the topic. You can teach and analyze the technology article more clearly if you know information about the given topic. For example, you can research gel electrophoresis at the library, at the bookstore or online. Take notes as you read. You may choose to take notes about how the process is done, what the process is used for, how it has improved scientific practice and the ethical issues that is has caused. For example, gel electrophoresis involves extracting DNA, putting it within the agar medium and using the electrodes of the machine to separate the components. It is used for analyzing the sizes of the DNA and for making comparisons between different individuals. It has improved scientific practice because it allows scientists to analyze the similarities and differences in DNA more closely. An ethical issue of gel electrophoresis is that people may not want their own DNA to be analyzed.
Find examples of technology research articles at the library, at the bookstore, or on the Internet. For example a technology research article about gel electrophoresis may discuss how the process has improved with advances in technology.
Create a presentation about both the topic and the corresponding technology research article. When teaching science using technology research articles, you need to make references to the article as you teach the topic. You should bring the technology research article with you as you teach. For example, as you discuss the progress of gel electrophoresis as stated within the article, you may explain how with the improvements made in technology enabled the process to become more accurate.
Allow the students to ask questions about the information, and how the research articles correspond to it. Also, encourage the students to bring in their own technology research articles. By discussing the technology research articles, you can share your various interpretations, and understand the topic more fully.
