Abstract

Methylothon is an inquiry-based high school learning module in microbial ecology, molecular biology, and bioinformatics that centers around pink-pigmented plant-associated methylotrophic bacteria. Here, we present an overview of the module’s learning goals, describe course resources (available for public use at http://methylothon.com ), and relate lessons learned from adapting Methylothon for remote learning during the pandemic in spring of 2021.
