Engaging Teachers with
Mechanobiology Education
Resources to help teach cell biology, biophysics, and
biomedical technologies
Access teacher-made classroom modules from participants in the summer research initiative for high school science teachers around the interdisciplinary research across the broad themes of mechanobiology.
Other resources are collected from across the Internet to provide educators with a variety of cell biology teaching resources.
Beth Hale, biology teacher at Upper Darby High School and 2019 participant in the Summer Research Experience for Teachers, had her classroom module published by TeachEngineering.org. Find the complete activity HERE.
