The Teacher’s Resource Guide is a vital reference tool on genomics for biotechnology teachers of all levels of experience and expertise!
The guide is full of hands-on activities have been welcomed for their simplicity and for using low-cost, easily found equipment and materials.
The activities are written at the upper elementary level through high school, but are easily modified for all ages.
All the activities in the Teacher’s Resource Guide have been field-tested nationally in elementary, middle, and high schools and science and museum centers
Background material on the related science, as well as pedagogical information, is included, allowing teachers to choose information tailored to their levels of experience and expertise.
The guide is funded through a grant from the Pfizer Foundation to support a five-year professional development initiative for teachers in conjunction with the Pfizer, Inc. exhibit, Genome: The Secret of How Life Works.
