Molecular modelling as the spark for active learning approaches for interdisciplinary biology teaching
1Laboratoire de Biochimie Théorique, Université Paris Diderot, Sorbonne Paris Cité, Paris, France.
Abstract:
We present here an interdisciplinary workshop on the subject of biomolecules offered to undergraduate and high school students with the aim of boosting their interest toward all areas of science contributing to the study of life. The workshop involves mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science and biology. Based on our own areas of research, molecular modelling is chosen as the central axis as it involves all disciplines. To provide a strong biological motivation for the study of the dynamics of biomolecules, the theme of the workshop is the origin of life. All sessions are built around active pedagogy, including games, and a final poster presentation.
