All Grades Biochemistry -Introduce biotechnology concepts with hands-on STEM activities

 

Introduce biotechnology concepts with hands-on STEM activities   Biotechnology involves the intersection of many of the science subjects you may be teaching, including chemistry, biology, and genetics.  See our Teaching Biotechnology at All Grade Levels resource for free activities and lessons to help you explore biotechnology topics with students, including:   ·     Elementary school: model DNA with paper or candy and use pineapple juice to explore the role of enzymes in chemical reactions   ·     Middle school: learn about phenotypes and genotypes with an innovative "alien DNA" activity and use a taste-test experiment to teach about gene mutations   ·     High school: explore CRISPR technology and have students make stop-motion animation videos to demonstrate the CRISPR-Cas9 mechanism and learn how enzymes and substrates affect the rate of a chemical reaction.   Biotechnology Resources       Development of resources for K-12 educators to teach biotechnology was made possible through generous support from Amgen Foundation.
