In
A Dynamic Natural Approach to Instruction, Biotechnology II: The Fusion of Imagination, and Inquiry, students move on to more in-depth understanding of the Biology and research behind the Biotechnology industry. Biomanufactoring, DNA sequencing, plasmid mapping, protein "fingerprinting," and much more prepares students to participate in novel research annotating the genome of an important bacterium.
Each lab is written in student friendly language with essential vocabulary assignments and comprehension questions included. Students will be successful in this very hands-on program of study.
