'Sequencing Plant Species': Biology Teacher Presents at Conference
Science teacher Tyler Zarubin had the opportunity to present at the National Science Teacher's Association (NSTA) conference in Los Angeles on March 31.
Mr. Zarubin gave his talk titled “Project-Based Learning for High School: Sequencing Plant Species,” which was based off of the research project he ran through the Accelerated Biology classes he taught for six years at Sage Hill.
He adapted a commercial plant-based cloning and sequencing kit to engage his students in original research. Some of his students even had their novel plant sequences published.
Mr. Zarubin currently teaches Biology and AP Biology.
The NSTA holds an annual conference for science teachers of mainly middle and high school students.
