Hey Thanks Jeff,

I do a fair amount of biotech. In AP bio and our new forensics course will also have some. I would love to have some students do the leg work for a potential biotech course. When I have the time I will study these web sites though I already use access excellence. I like the idea of a class and even if it doesn’t get there we do use a lot of bio tech and could/should do more

Thanks again

Dave

Dave,

We in the Technology Committee stumbled on some preliminary research about 9-12 biotechnology initiatives in the classroom. If you have the time and interest, we believe these links would be useful in researching the benefits, planning, and implementation of biotechnology classes here at BBA. In addition, some students in the Research Lab course at BBA could assist in assembling further resources as part of an academic project if you and the Science Department are interested. Let us know what you think or if you have any questions. Thanks.
