Find the right biotech activity for your life sciences class
Biotechnology techniques and tools are used across a variety of fields, including basic biology, healthcare, agriculture, forensics, and more! Introducing students to biotech skills through hands-on activities makes for engaging lessons in any life sciences classroom.
Whether you are using gel electrophoresis in a forensics class to analyze DNA evidence or PCR to better understand genetic diseases, you too can engage your students with biotech lab activities and apply fundamental concepts they are learning to real-world situations.
Here are just a few classes that could benefit from biotech activities and links to relevant labs:
- Middle school life sciences
- General biology
- AP/Honors Biology
- AP Environmental Sciences
- Forensic science
- Agricultural biotechnology
- Biomedical/clinical lab sciences
- Anatomy and physiology
- Biotech CTE
- Biotech industry training
