Biological Science Education

Program Overview

Biology teachers can help students in public schools catch a vision of the exciting future in biology. Students study both the discipline of biology and the techniques of science education. Teaching junior and senior high school students about the broad areas of biology requires an understanding of botany, molecular biology and zoology. Biology teachers must have exposure and limited expertise in chemistry, physics, mathematics and geology. Biology teachers also must understand how to plan and carry out lab investigations, field trips and multidisciplinary activities that bring junior and senior high school students into the study of biology. Their role is to help students see the interrelationships among science, society, and technology and the resulting bioethical concerns.
