From blood to milk: Graphical systems modeling in secondary‐level biochemistry courses

Given the present need for biochemistry and molecular biology educators to transform their courses into an online format, novel methods aimed at promoting student learning and engagement must be considered. Herein, we describe the integration of graphical systems modeling as a tool for introducing biochemistry to secondary‐level students. We propose the use of graphic technologies as a way for students to create systems models that describe phenomena of life, such as lactation. Through these endeavors, educators can provide a virtual format for students to continue learning and completing assignments.
