Integrating Biotechnology into Your Homeschool Curriculum
Biotechnology has often been excluded from science curriculum due to cost and lack of curriculum. With adequate curriculum and equipment, students can be exposed to cutting edge science techniques at younger ages. In this session, Vanessa Hobbs will share her experience teaching biotechnology to students as young as 10 years old and the many ways to implement biotechnology into your everyday science lessons. Vanessa will discuss how this can be done across a broad spectrum of budgets and learning styles.
