The ASSET program develops, tests, evaluates and disseminates a collection of self-contained biology teaching modules for use in high school, middle school, and elementary school classrooms, all built around a safe, easy to grow protozoan, Tetrahymena thermophila. Each module is designed to stimulate critical thinking and to foster a fundamental understanding of key biological concepts, using a hands-on, inquiry-based approach
We provide all the materials necessary to use the Science modules in the classroom, including maintaining an equipment lending library to ensure that all schools can benefit from our program.
The following Modules are available for use:
