Many STEM disciplines are underrepresented to High School students. This is problematic as many students' decisions for college are shaped by their experiences and achievements in high school. Short content-oriented modules have been shown to encourage science identity and otherwise benefit the students' learning. Following the ASBMB's outreach protocol, we developed a short content-oriented module aimed at a high school biology classroom. Students interacted with 3D models of DNA and transcription factors while exploring structure–function relationships and introductory biochemistry topics. The high school teacher was impressed with the students' response to the module, specifically the ease with which students learned, their enthusiasm, and their recall of the experience. We provide all materials necessary to use this module, including student worksheet and printable model coordinates. We encourage both high school instructors and professional biochemists to consider similar module using physical models.

通过一个简短的、以内容为导向的模块向高中生物学生介绍生物化学

许多 STEM 学科在高中生中的代表性不足。这是有问题的，因为许多学生上大学的决定是由他们在高中的经历和成就决定的。事实证明，以内容为导向的简短模块可以鼓励科学认同，并有利于学生的学习。遵循 ASBMB 的推广协议，我们开发了一个针对高中生物课堂的简短内容导向模块。学生与 DNA 和转录因子的 3D 模型进行互动，同时探索结构-功能关系和介绍性生物化学主题。高中老师对学生对该模块的反应印象深刻，特别是学生学习的轻松程度、他们的热情以及对经历的回忆。我们提供使用该模块所需的所有材料，包括学生工作表和可打印的模型坐标。我们鼓励高中教师和专业生物化学家考虑使用物理模型的类似模块。
