CURRICULUM
MichBio recommends visiting the following sites for life science curriculum materials:
- BIO Guide to Biotechnology
- Southwest Biotechnology and Informatic Center
These educational products and resources have been produced by SWBIC staff and visiting college and K-12 faculty. The workshops are intended to increase the knowledge and skills of researchers and science educators and to assist the educators in their responsibilities to their students.

- About the
Symphony: Genetics 101
Think of your
genes as the notes, or recorded instructions, for playing a great piece of
music. You inherit half the notes for this genetic score from your mother and
half from your father. Unless you have an identical twin, the genetic code for
your life symphony is unique. Everything from eye color and height to musical
talent and intelligence are governed, to some degree, by instructions recorded
in the 35,000 or so genes found inside nearly every cell in the human body. - Michigan Science Curriculum Benchmarks
