Mobile Laboratory Activities

currently offered in Texas for the 2019/20 school year

Learning Undefeated’s curriculum includes laboratory activities appropriate for a variety of classes ranging from basic biology and chemistry to AP biology and environmental science. All activities are focused on problem-based learning with real-world applications that align with Texas Essential Knowledge & Skills (TEKS) as well as Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), Common Core State Standards (CCSS), and Maryland Science Content Standards. Activities include common bioscience techniques such as DNA extraction and agarose gel electrophoresis, and relevant themes such as alternative fuels, bioengineering, and crime scene investigation.
