"Bioinformatics Workshop" Interdisciplinary Activities Workshop for the High School Classroom: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, and Mathematics
James Dyer and Katherine Herbert, Science Informatics, Montclair State University

Abstract :

This workshop will involve 4 sections, each focusing on how to integrate the topics of biology, chemistry, computer science and math in the High School classroom. Each section will be conducted in a "hands-on" format, so that high school teachers will come away from the workshop with several usable activities to help them integrate topics in their own classroom.
