Complete two different gel electrophoresis labs, both exploring Medelian genetics. In this full-day workshop, you will use pre-prepared DNA samples to explore the alleles of the beta-globin gene responsible for sickle cell disease and trait and the alleles of the beta-casein protein that is responsible for A1 vs A2 milk. We will also explain how […]
Interested in activities to inspire your students to see themselves in science? Explore an online role-playing curriculum where students step into the shoes of science experts, interpreting data to tackle real-world issues. By the end of the workshop, you’ll be ready to guide your students in collaborative discussions focused on the developing new medicines, solving […]
As the days warm and student attention wanes, join us to learn 6 labs or activities to keep your students engaged. MassBioEd is bringing to Fitchburg some of our most popular labs and activities for middle school (or early high school) students. We will complete 3 labs: photosynthesis using algae balls; dog coat length genetics […]
Explore our free online role-playing curriculum, where students become science experts, tackling real-world challenges. Gain tools to guide collaborative discussions on drug development, plastic pollution, and the gut microbiome (beta). Leave ready to inspire critical thinking and data-driven problem-solving in your classroom.
Complete two different gel electrophoresis labs, both exploring Medelian genetics. In this full-day workshop, you will use pre-prepared DNA samples to explore the alleles of the beta-globin gene responsible for sickle cell disease and trait and the alleles of the gene responsible for coat length in dogs. We will also explain how you can create […]
This fun and reliable lab provides students with a compelling visual demonstration of photosynthesis and the opportunity to quantify their results. In this online workshop, you will be guided through how to make the indicator solution, how to make the alginate, how to source concentrated algae, and how to form the algae balls needed for […]

In this 2 hour workshop, you will use pre-prepared DNA samples to explore the alleles of the beta-globin gene responsible for sickle cell disease and trait and the alleles of the gene responsible for coat length in dogs. We will also explain how you can […]
Space is limited so register now by visiting https://bit.ly/minione-ma-2025 Jump-start your new year with an exciting biotechnology workshop hosted by MiniOne Systems, MassBioEd, and Fitchburg State University! Come spend a day with your colleagues from across the state at a fun and dynamic workshop. You’ll enjoy working with teacher and student-friendly MiniOne equipment to explore […]
Experience two PCR-based labs: Try MassBioEd’s low-cost version of the PTC lab where students will isolate their own DNA and identify their genotype at the TAS2R38 locus. Share the complexity of human genetics by identifying one or more single nucleotide polymorphisms in the gene for the bitter taste receptor. Make Mendelian genetics come alive for […]
Engage your students in hands-on, inquiry-based biotechnology research! In this online workshop, high school teachers will explore how to guide students in designing and conducting authentic experiments that tackle real-world questions. Participants will learn strategies for creating student-driven research projects in biotechnology, with a focus on current and relevant topics such as genetically modified organisms […]
