Biology in a Box

A Science Education Outreach Project

Biology in a box provides a fun and challenging way to introduce students to the wonders of the living world and to the scientific methods and math skills used to explore and understand nature.

All of the themes have exercises that are designed to meet the curriculum content needs of science teachers and students from the elementary grades through high school. Currently we are limited to serving counties in Tennessee. (Teachers can check the partnership page to see if their school system is enrolled in the project.) However, our ideas, exercises and concepts are available to all.

Get Involved!

Staff of the Biology in a Box project are listed below.  Please contact Dr. Champion about your school's involvement.  If you have questions or suggestions about the various exercises )or ideas for new ones), feel free to contact Dr. Riechert, Dr. Jones, or Dr. Guffey.  We are anxious to hear your ideas and to have your participation.   Also check out our "Feedback" page where we have additional contact information and some specific questions about the project.
