Enhancement of High School Faculty in Molecular Biology Theory and Laboratory Techniques

瓦尔多斯塔州立学院将为高中教师举办一个为期3年的分子生物学强化项目。在三年的时间里，来自南乔治亚州的75名参与者将参加为期3周的强化课程。动手实验室实验将包括酶作用原理、电泳原理、从大肠杆菌中分离DNA、使用Sephadex分离DNA和RNA、DNA片段大小分析、DNA指纹图谱、限制性内切酶图谱分析、超螺旋、镍和环状链烷的表征。蛋白质的DNA序列分析和免疫电泳法。教师参与者将带着一个工具包回到他们的学校，将分子生物学技术直接纳入他们的课程。在三个阶段的计划中，主要的高中教师将协助课程，并就他们在母校使用这些技术提供反馈。一个参与者网络将发展成为一个生物互动小组，在瓦尔多斯塔州立学院的协助下继续支持正在进行的方案。

Valdosta State College will host a 3-year enhancement program in molecular biology for high school teachers. Over three years, 75 participants from South Georgia will take part in an intensive 3-week course. Hands-on laboratory experiments will include principles of enzyme action, principles of electrophoresis, DNA isolation from E.coli, separation of DNA and RNA using Sephadex, analysis of DNA fragments sizes, DNA fingerprinting, analysis of restriction enzyme patterns, characterization of supercoiled, nicked, and catenane forms. DNA sequence analysis and immunoelectrophoresis of proteins. Teacher participants will take a kit back with them to their schools to incorporate molecular biology techniques directly into their curricula. Over the three-phase program, lead high school teachers will assist with the course and provide feedback on their use of these techniques in their home schools. A network of participants will develop into a biology interaction group which will continue to support the on-going program with the assistance of Valdosta State College.
