miniPCR bio™ Electrophoresis Forensics Lab. Wrongfully Convicted? Instructor's and Student's Guide Version: 1.1 - Release February 2022 - © 2022 by miniPCR bio™ P./41 Instructor's Guide About miniPCR bio Learning Labs TM This Learning Lab was developed by the miniPCR bio TM team in an effort to help more students understand concepts in molecular biology and to gain hands-on experience in real biology and biotechnology experimentation. We believe, based on our direct involvement working in educational settings, that it is possible for these experiences to have a real impact in students' lives. Our goal is to increase everyone's love of DNA science, scientific inquiry, and STEM. We develop Learning Labs TM to help achieve these goals, working closely with educators, students, academic researchers, and others committed to science education. The guiding premise for this lab is that a 45-minute electrophoresis-based experiment can recapitulate a real-life forensics application and provide the right balance between intellectual engagement, inquiry, and discussion. Starting on a modest scale working with Massachusetts public schools, miniPCR bio Learning Labs TM have been well received, and their use is growing rapidly through academic and outreach collaborations across the world.
