Currently BABEC supports
the following curriculum modules with professional
development, reagents and some equipment. Developed and tested
during the past five years, these curricula meet and, in some cases,
exceed the recommendations of the National Science Education Standards and
the State of California Science Standards. Students model the scientific method: they hypothesize, experiment, collect and
analyze their data, and support their conclusions with evidence, all in
the context of contemporary issues in biotechnology.
