More is better!

I recently got together with another 8th grade teacher.   We plan all our lessons and labs together as a PLC. As I started sharing with her several of the tools that I gained at the Kenan Institute and ideas about new biotechnology labs, she became really excited. We decided that we will incorporate biotechnology through each of this year’s units. I am enthusiastic about these prospects because the applications of biotechnology are incredibly diverse. We will be able to exposed our students to more aspects of biotechnology than in other years. It was nice to see that the excitement I feel from learning about biotechnology in my externship so quickly inspired my PLC partner to try something new.

We both decided to get Glofish for our classroom.   I am particularly partial to the fluorescent yellow ones: )
