About
the book:
This is a
practical lab
reference and
manual for both
the experienced
high school
teacher who is
already
incorporating
biotechnology
activities in
the classroom
and for the
teacher who is
just starting to
do so. This
manual shares
tips and methods
to make
biotechnology
activities more
accessible to
the classroom
environment.
The
recommendations
and protocols
are based on
experience in
both the
research
laboratory and
the high school
classroom.
“What
considerations
should I make
when setting up
a teaching
laboratory at my
school?” “How do
I break up a
miniprep
protocol that
can’t be
completed in a
single class
period?” “What
is a good way to
make antibiotic
solutions and
enzymes readily
accessible to
students
throughout the
semester?” This
manual answers
these questions
and many more.
This manual will
help you to move
beyond using
“kits” from big
vendors and to
develop your own
activities. It
will help you to
determine where
to get the
necessary
reagents and how
to organize
these resources
in the classroom
for your
students. The
biotechnology
activities
outlined in this
manual, combined
with your
personal
motivation as a
science
educator, will
help to energize
your existing
curriculum for a
more innovative
and rewarding
educational
experience.
