Summer Workshop for Teachers

A one-week workshop that combines lectures and related hands-on laboratory courses and culminates in a session on science curriculum development for grades 8-12.

Ken Bateman

Over the years, I’ve been able to use the biology I learned during the summer workshops to build curricula for my own classroom. Most memorable were the years where we looked at bacterial growth, biofuels and neuroscience. I have my honors students do a long-term project on bacterial growth that has incorporated knowledge from the workshops, and I do a lesson on biofuels in my AP environmental science class. During the summers, I use the spiker boxes to measure action potentials in human muscle contractions.
