My Science Box

On October 20, 2006, I led a workshop using life science activities from My Science Box at the California Science Teachers Association meeting in San Francisco, CA. Are you looking for extra copies of the handouts? Were you unable to make it? The handout provided to workshop participants is available as an attachment below.

Here's an overview of what we did:

1. Teachers got a quick tour of www.MyScienceBox.org
2. Then we quickly tried a sampling of activities from the Physiology and Genetics boxes
   • Physiology Box - Lesson #1 Is It Alive?
   • Physiology Box - Lesson #2 Testing For Life's Molecules
   • Physiology Box - Assessment - Life on Mars
   • Genetics Box - Lesson #4 DNA Fingerprinting
3. Finally, I discussed some of the future directions for My Science Box
