Teachers’ Domain: Biotechnology Collection

Teachers’ Domain: Biotechnology CollectionWGBH’s Teachers’ Domain - a goldmine of multimedia resources for K12 education - now has added value for middle school and high school educators and students, with its recently released Biotechnology Digital Media Collection. If you teach genetics, DNA, gene cloning, or other biotech topics, and are looking for ways to integrate high quality digital media in your lessons or studies, this is your go-to source.  These resources help to show the tools and techniques used to develop new biotechnology applications and products, incorporating aspects of chemistry, genetics, cell biology; while mapping to existing curriculum standards. With Flash interactives and videos demonstrating how techniques are performed and showing how biotechnology professionals use them, science careers can be sparked and students can gain critical understandings of complex processes. The Biotechnology collection covers: Applications, Careers, Concepts, Tools and Techniques, and a Lesson Plan on Using Biotechnology to Detect and Treat Disease. Update: You can learn more about the Biotech Collection by participating in the NSDL/NSTA Web Seminar on Wednesday February 17:  Biotechnology: New Tools and Resources for the STEM Career Pipeline from WGBH Teachers’ Domain.
