Helping students to become life-long learners who are able to connect biology to their lives is an important goal of science education. One strategy for accomplishing this goal is case based learning. Learners pursue their own questions, identify and use a wide variety of resources, and present their reasoning and possible solutions.

Join us as we rather interactively consider three cases about students who are engaged in case-based learning using "Kingdoms Entangled: Molecules, Maize, and Malaria" in quite different ways. We will focus on effective teaching strategies for your classroom as well as ours! We will provide a copy of the multi-part biology case "Kingdoms Entangled: Molecules, Maize, and Malaria," and resource information for each participant as well.
