Need a way to refresh your lessons in genetics through multimedia resources? Biotechnology is a rapidly growing field that uses research from biology and chemistry to find solutions to current scientific problems. Help students understand how gene cloning, DNA sequencing, and bio-engineering touch their every day lives. From the food we eat, to the drugs we take, and the jobs that we train for, biotechnology is a science for the new millennium.

Join WGBH Teachers’ Domain and a local high school biotechnology teacher in discussing ways to deepen the teaching and learning of biotechnology in your classroom. Learn about some extra-ordinary free resources developed and organized by Teachers’ Domain that cover biotechnology applications, concepts, tools and techniques, and feature career profiles in this promising field.
