BME 5875 - Frontiers in Biomedical Research for Teachers

Summer. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: Participation in BME NSF-Funded GK-12 program. Teacher in middle or high school science class. Permission only.

C. Schaffer and S. Archer.

The goal of this course is to help middle and high school science teachers increase their knowledge in key topics of relevance for biomedical science and for them to gain a sense of how new scientific knowledge is generated. This new knowledge and understanding of science topics and the process of science will then enable these teachers to provide better classroom instruction to their students.
