CURRENT MANUAL Goals of the ABE curriculum: Engage a diverse population of students Deepen conceptual understandings of science Expand awareness about biotechnology and the nature of scientific research Show the research and development process for biotechnology 2
LAB MANUAL TAB A Amgen biotech Experience & Program introduction Chapter 1: Tools of the trade TAB B Complete sequence Chapter 2: How do you begin to clone a gene? Chapter 3: Building a recombinant plasmid Chapter 4: Making sure you ve got a recombinant plasmid Chapter 5: Getting recombinant plasmids in bacteria TAB C Abridged sequence All above EXCEPT Chapter 3 TAB D Chapter 5B TAB E: Getting what we need 3
LAB MANUAL ABE lab sequence: Complete genetic engineering sequence 3.5 weeks Abridged genetic engineering sequence A 3 weeks Focus on Bacteria sequence B 2 weeks Introduction to biotechnology About 6 days New curriculum: Modular approach can use entire book or just individual chapters 4
STUDENTS Start at Tab A Everyone does About the Amgen Biotech Experience important! (A-1) Please relay to students HOW they are getting to use this kit Then program introduction & tools of the trade (A-3 & A-15) 7
STUDENTS Program introduction (A-3) Very important! Shows real world relevance to a disease process WHY should they care about this curriculum? 8
STUDENTS Each Chapter: Introduction Chapter goals What do you already know? Section purpose Before the lab Materials Methods Lab techniques Stop and think Safety Questions Glossary 9
TEACHER MANUAL Teacher manual is meant to SUPPORT the students Does not have lab procedures restated Appendix: Lab 1.3 optional Clone that gene DNA ladder diagram Bacterial growth predictions 11
