Welcome to the Massachusetts Biotechnology Educational Resource Center.
The site for Health and Bioscience Teachers and Learners.
Access Excellence, launched in 1993, is a national educational program that provides health, biology and life science teachers access to their colleagues, scientists, and critical sources of new scientific information via the World Wide Web. The program was originally developed and launched by Genentech Inc., and in 1999 joined the National Health Museum, a non-profit organization founded by former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop as a national center for health education.

Bio-Link is a National Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Center for Biotechnology that originated in late 1998 with a grant from the National Science Foundation. The ATE program was created to improve and expand educational programs that prepare skilled technicians to work in the high-tech fields that drive the U.S. economy.
Teachers' Domain online science courses give K-12 teachers new ways to inspire students, broaden content knowledge, and integrate technology into their classrooms. Teachers learn using videos of exemplary practice and rich media resources from NOVA and other PBS programming.
The Biotechnology Institute uses innovative, hands-on exercises to introduce biotechnology into the classroom. The following activites are just a few examples from the professional development workshops that the Institute runs year-round.
Welcome to The Ocean Society's Marine Education Program. This unique program has been designed by classroom teachers-produced by classroom teachers-for use by classroom teachers and provides you with ready to use marine education units containing classroom tested activities. This program also allows your students to be an active part of the ongoing research effort on behalf of the North Atlantic Right Whale, the world's rarest great whale. This educational effort has been designed as a continuing multi-year program containing the following four modules.
Marine Education Module (Subject changes each year)
National Marine Education Awards and Grants Module
Right Whale Guardianship Module
Naming of the Whales Module
We look forward to having you and your class come "on board" our program. Please accept our thanks for the time and effort you put forth in your classroom as you try to "give the young a better world."
The Tree of Life Web Project is a collection of information about biodiversity compiled collaboratively by hundreds of expert and amateur contributors. Its goal is to contain a page with pictures, text, and other information for every species and for each group of organisms, living or extinct. Connections between Tree of Life web pages follow phylogenetic branching patterns between groups of organisms, so visitors can browse the hierarchy of life and learn about phylogeny and evolution as well as the characteristics of individual groups.
Welcome to WhaleNet's interactive educational web site which focuses on whales and marine research. WhaleNet is sponsored by Wheelock College in Boston, Massachusetts with initial support from the National Science Foundation.
WhaleNet has received over 60
Awards and Acknowledgements.

The Pharmacology Education Partnership is a joint venture among Duke University Medical Center, the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, and biology and chemistry teachers across the United States. The project was funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to produce and share standards-based inquiry teaching materials and activities with high school teachers. The purpose of the partnership is to provide biology and chemistry teachers with practical applications of basic concepts from both biology and chemistry disciplines using pharmacology topics of interest to high school students. This web application provides the science content and background for teachers and students to apply pharmacology topics to basic biology and chemistry principles.
We are the Biotechnology Department at Madison Area Technical College in Madison, Wisconsin, USA.

As the name suggests, the site is like Wikipedia for teachers, by teachers. Wiki-Teacher is a forum for teachers to share their collective intelligence through their resources, insights, and practices. As a community of educators, we will control the direction of Wiki-Teacher as well as determine the relevance and value of the resources. Wiki-Teacher is made possible through the support of the Clark County School District's Curriculum and Professional Development Division.
