Description
The One Kit Wonder: Using Modeling to Teach Biotechnology Concepts
Diane Sigalas, MEd, Livingston High School
Your students will go from the blank-stare-wall state of mind to understanding the science of PCR, Sanger Sequencing, and restriction enzymes when actively modeling these processes with the Biotechnology Kit©. Then launch into applications in diagnostics, genetics, and forensics. Enrich in-class or distance learning with NGSS, AP, or IB consistent lessons.
Learn about the amazing advances in biotechnology over the past 50 years – and how they have prepared researchers to create coronavirus vaccines. Within one year, researchers used biotechnology tools to sequence a new viral genome, solve the 3D structure of one of its key proteins, and developed a vaccine that will produce antibodies to inactivate that protein. Isn’t science amazing?
