KABT at KATS

I’m posting this info for Randy who is unable to attend and present at the 2007 KATS KAMP KABT thread. Randy was going to share a number of resources that he has tried out and found effective in his biotech courses and in AP Biology that deal with microarrays. These include:

Web animations such as this one from Malcolm Campbell at Davidson (click on the screen shot):

Virtual Labs like this one from the Genetic Science Learning Center in Utah (click on the screen shot):

Select the BEOP link for teaching materials. (Student materials and answers)
