Pharmacology Education Partnership (PEP)
The Pharmacology Education Partnership (PEP) is an online interactive resource that provides high school teachers with tools to teach biology and chemistry. Students learn basic biology and chemistry concepts using PEP modules that are designed to captivate high school student interest—they include the chemistry and biology of cocaine, nicotine, and steroids. The PEP modules are aligned with the National Science Education Standards; national testing reveals that student achievement in biology and chemistry improves when the PEP modules are used. The program was produced by a partnership between Duke University Medical Center and the North Carolina School for Science & Math, and was funded with a Science Education Award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
