University and provide the school cooperation with Amgen Teach. Amgen teach education science by strengthening the ability of secondary school teachers to use enquiry-based teaching strategies in their classrooms. We met our colleagues and we produce new projects.

My Amgen Teach students used the biology lab. The increased interest in laboratory studies. In particular, it was very useful to my students based on academic argument.

My students were given assignments on time prepare the project. Students learned research techniques. In Lessons of learning it has become easier and more enjoyable. My students are trying to prepare new projects. They can solve the problems they encounter in life by questioning. I think that affect students' professional choices.

I'm being more careful when preparing lesson plans. I'm trying to use the desktop version of the experiment. I'm making concept maps in class. İnquiry-based training course to tell very enjoyable.

I am preparing eTwinning projects, Scientix projects. I am interested in Future classroom Lab., Go-Lab., Creative classroom Lab. EU project preparation of the teachers in our country and I want to practice.

We create a team within the school and students. Teachers learning new teaching techniques are important for professional development. So students can develop in.
