 * 1) How much of your food at home contains GM animal or plant material? Discuss and build a hypothesis
 * 1) Go into food cupboard at home
 * 1) Take out 20 food products from the cupboard
 * 1) Identify which contain the GM ingredients
 * 1) Visit the web-site of truefood.org to help you identify them:
 * 1) Determine what fraction of the food chosen contains genetically modified ingredients, non- genetically modified, and undetermined
 * 1) TOK – Is it a negative to have GM food? Can GM food be a positive?
 * 1) Produce a short report and graph to communicate your findings //(not a formal lab report)//
