The list of cases represents a broad mix in term

HIV Investigation (STEM/PBL)
This inquiry based, PBL piece from Lab207 was written for an AP Biology class. I was short on time and was not going to be able to cover viruses, genetic technology, and gene regulation. In response I wrote this project that puts students in the shoes of an HIV researcher and asks them to investigate and propose a course of action in response to a new strain of HIV.
The project is written as a story that the students respond to by turning in 4 separate products and giving a final presentation.
