BioTechBuilder Curriculum Alignment to MA Chapter 74 Biotech Framework
(June 2014 version)
2
3
The detailed alignment of the BTB curriculum to Strand 2 is shown below. Students completing Module 1 of BioTechBuilder curriculum will also learn to identify and utilize Safety Data Sheet (SDS) information. They will also learn to explain the handling of hazardous materials and be able to respond to an emergency in a lab (Strand 1 frameworks). Oral and written communication skills are emphasized throughout the curriculum as students work in pairs or in small groups, documenting their results and discussions, and receiving feedback from peers and instructors. The curriculum also includes opportunities to present an experimental outcome or a research project (Strand 4 frameworks).
