This project funds a workshop to explore frontiers in molecular biology, to do laboratory activities that have high potential for inclusion in regular high school biology courses, and to discuss applications in biotechnology and their related science-based societal issues. Thirty-two secondary teachers of biology or chemistry will attend a five-week summer workshop beginning in July of 1987. During this segment of the program, participants will attend lectures, do laboratory work, participate in seminars given by faculty from 12 different disciplines, hear guest lectures by representatives from pharmaceutical and food industries, and observe demonstrations by several scientific companies of equipment suitable for use in high school biology curricula. Time is set aside each week for teachers to meet as a group to share experiences and to seek ways to improve course offerings. Each teacher will be expected to do laboratory experiments that can be used in the classroom. Teachers will be encouraged to publish suitable experiments.

该项目资助了一个讲习班，以探索分子生物学的前沿，开展有很大潜力纳入常规高中生物学课程的实验室活动，并讨论生物技术的应用及其相关的以科学为基础的社会问题。32名生物或化学中学教师将参加从1987年7月开始的为期五周的暑期讲习班。在计划的这一部分，参与者将参加讲座，做实验室工作，参加由来自12个不同学科的教师举办的研讨会，听取来自制药和食品行业代表的客座讲座，并观看几家科学公司关于适合用于高中生物课程的设备的演示。每周都会留出时间，让教师们作为一个小组开会，分享经验，寻找改进课程提供的方法。每位教师将被要求做可在课堂上使用的实验室实验。将鼓励教师发表合适的实验。
