Biotechnology

Biotechnology is a commercial activity (such as construction, textile industry, pharmaceutical company or even tourism). What is fascinating about this activity – biotechnology – is that its products are applicable on all other sectors of economy worldwide. There are biotech products not only in agriculture, textile, mechanical and pharmaceutical industries but also in the environmental area, in fisheries and in everything else that we might remember.
If you want to understand better how bioctechnology is present in all the actions that we do in our daily lives, we challenge you to watch a short video, where you will discover that in our smallest acts, like the jeans that we wear or the fruit that we eat, biotechnological activity is underlying.

Our Project


During the 1st term we have focused on the collection of information and in the 2nd term we entered the construction phase of our work.
We have previously defined some aspects that must be noted in our work, such as biotechnology, stem cells, chronic diseases, quality of life, etc…
We are currently dealing with all the documents that we gathered related to our theme but we don’t intend our work to be focused only on the document’s research; we also want to work with people and life cases.
In the beginning of the 2nd term we created the portuguese blog where we posted much information related to the project and where all people can see and learn things that they don’t know yet.
At the end of 2nd term there was the idea of creating an english blog with the same information as the original blog, so that everyone could, hopefully, see and learn something with our work.
We hope you like it.
Thanks for your visit, and come back soon! :)
