Plant Development Workshop for Teacher: Coordinated by Sheila Marquez, July. Funded by NSF Award # . Lessons utilized designing experiments with plant hormones and how they would affect plant development.
Examples of activities/lessons using research and technology for the classroom:
- Lessons designed by the Master's in General Biology
- PREP Handbook Research with Arabidopsis
- BIOTECH Project Laboratory activities using biotechnology
Summer 2003 Lessons:
Matt Gallucci: Plant Immune-like Response to Caterpillars--view as html or word document--view pictures of dissection as power point document
Summer 2004 Lessons:
Victoria Milani has developed mini hydroponics to bring into her and other teachers at her school's classrooms. The students will use the set ups to ask questions, design experiments and conduct them on plants. As student work becomes available, we will post it here.
Laurie Cale and Tiffany Swensen have designed an activity to test the gene model on chromatin DNA in Arabidopsis. A workshop on bringing this into the classroom will be presented at UA in December 2004.
Summer 2005 Lessons:
Confirmation of Transcript Splice Models from Arabidopsis by Laurie Cale and Tiffany Swenson.
