This resource is comprised of 9 lessons that relate to bioinformatics. Each resource has a corresponding powerpoint to use in the classroom. The first lesson introduces the process of genetic research and reviews the scientific method. Each lesson covers a different topic of bioinformatics and if you had enough time in your classroom I think each one would help students understand how scientists used DNA sequences during scientific research. I have not used the resource in the classroom yet, but I hope to utilize at least some of the powerpoints soon.
