Educators Come to WSU GK-12 Winter Workshop
All of the GK-12 teacher fellows spent two days at WSU learning about new molecular
biology classroom activities. GK-12 fellows and Dr. Schneegurt provided background
lectures and practical advice on molecular biology techniques and applications. The
teachers had the opportunity to practice the activities with the equipment sets provided
by NSF for their schools. The teachers will extend the training tower to biology
teachers and students at the 8 comprehensive public high schools in 成人头条. The
activities are woven into the required general biology class taken by nearly 2000
students each year. Other classes in forensics and physiology also will use the activities.
This is the first year of the GK-12 program and these activities are expected to impact
more than 500 students.
