  1. Florence Malinowski, MS St. Georges High School Tricia Jones University of Delaware Funded by National Science Foundation Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12) DGE 0538555

  2. Biotechnology at St. Georges Mission: To enlighten the minds of young scientists today, to ensure the miracles of tomorrow. • Students are trained in: • Laboratory Safety • Solution Preparation • Inventory • General Laboratory Maintenance • Standard Biological Techniques

  3. So how can I help? Plant Tissue Culture Proficiency in aseptic techniques is essential for avoiding contamination in the laboratory.

  4. Teaching and Assessment of Aseptic Techniques • Initial instruction • Self-assessment (developed by Mary Boggs) • Address problem areas • PRACTICE! • Lab practical • Assess remaining problem areas and re-teach

  5. Rubric for assessing sterile technique Total Score =

  6. Learning about proteins: Constructing a polypeptide Gly – Leu – Val – Ser

  7. How I’ve benefited from the GK-12 program: I’ve learned to… -Communicate complex science principles to the appropriate grade level -Develop classroom materials to enhance student learning -Assess student learning using formative assessment techniques I’ve enjoyed… -Working as a team with Florence to establish and enhance the biotechnology curriculum -Interacting with the students

  8. Acknowledgments • Florence Malinowski, MS • Dr. Randy Duncan • GK-12 project leaders, teachers, and fellows • St. Georges Technical High School • NSF
