Teacher Internship in Plant Genomics Laboratory Activities in the Classroom |
Summer 2005 Workshops:
Relating Genetics to Everyday Life: Science House coordinated workshop, June 13-17. Funded by NSF Award # DBI-0115642
Confirmation of Transcript Splice Models from Arabidopsis, workshop was lead by teacher interns Tiffany Swenson, Laurie Cale, and Alicia Nicholas, June 24. Funded by NSF Award # 0421679 and Award # 0331626. Lessons and protocols will be posted soon, stay tuned.
Laurie Cale, Tiffany Swenson, and Alicia Nicholas planning for the workshop Alicia Nicholas, Tiffany Swenson and Laurie Cale after the workshop. Great Job!!
Microarray Workshop for Teacher: Coordinated by BIOTECH Project, July18-22. Funded by NSF Award # 0321663. Lessons utilizing microarray technology will be posted on this site, stay tuned...
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.
Microarray analysis genes expressed during heat stress and non stressed Arabidopsis by the BIOTECH Project
