operation biotechnology

Operation Biotechnology is a nationwide project funded by a FIPSE grant from the U.S. Department of Education.  This project develops engaging biotechnology teacher training curriculum and experiments that integrate biology, chemistry and physics content. In year-round professional development workshops, high school teachers are trained to modify their existing courses and, using an easily replicable “teacher-leader” model, these master teachers will disseminate programs and labs to their colleagues.

Below is a link to the Operation Biotechnology portal website.  The site offers labs and lesson plans and also serves as a means for educators to communicate and collaborate with each other to improve biotechnology curriculum.  At this time, it is only accessible to the master teachers and project staff via registered user name and password.  As the project develops, the website resource will become available to the public.
