What Is the Amgen Biotech Experience? http://www.bwbiotechprogram.com/ Why should your students study biotechnology? Why Biotech? Amgen Biotech Experience Student and teacher curriculum Basic content, lab techniques, and skills used by researchers in the biotechnology field Choice of lab sequences All specialized equipment provided including consumables at no cost Teachers provide limited, commonplace equipment (beakers, etc) Basics of ABE Problem: How can we mass produce a useful protein? Solution: Take the protein from the organism that makes it and put it into something that will make large quantities of that protein. What are they doing? Procedure ◦ Find the gene that makes the protein ◦ Cut the gene out ◦ Put the gene into a carrier ◦ Use the carrier to insert the gene into bacteria ◦ Turn on the gene so the bacteria makes the protein How do they do it? Student Guide Diabetes and insulin production is used as an example throughout the curriculum Learning goals Visuals Literacy strategies Relevant analysis questions Glossaries Teacher’s Guide Choice of lab sequences Detailed teacher prep information with materials lists, step-by-step instructions, and prep tips Identified media resources specific to an activity (on web-site) Approximate timing is given for all activities Supplemental activities support each lab During the lab, specific questions encourage student discourse and reflection Lab safety information for student and teacher Red Fluorescent Protein A.
