Huntington North High School
"Protein Production for Profit" is the brainchild of Kline. Students at Huntington North High School will be given a DNA code sequence, and during a four-week period, and through inquiry-based learning using the Indiana State Standards, they will investigate, manipulate, develop and present a group presentation. The program will directly affect the understanding of genetics and the technology associated with genetic engineering. This should result in more informed decisions made on public policies and laws dealing with genetics. It will benefit two biology classes of 30 students during its first year. In its second year, the project will be introduced to the science department teachers in the hopes that all students taught each year can benefit. Kline resides in Huntington.
