Would you like to be part of a science curriculum writing team?

 

Teachers are needed to:

 

  • collaborate on development of a standards-based STEM curriculum, and
  • pilot lessons in grade 7-12 science classrooms.

Check out the Climate Patterns and Emerging Infections 2012 summer institute, and complete a competitive application process. This project, funded by the National Institutes of Health, will create modular curriculum units about the effect of climate changes on emerging infectious diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and leishmaniasis.
