In the last several decades so much attention has been in genetic advances and DNA and rightly so, but to ignore the expression of the genetics through proteins is a disservice to those advancements.
In this lab the students will be creating genetic fingerprints to compare DNA that was found at a crime scene with the victim and the suspects.
Sudden Oak Death (SOD) is a disease caused by an introduced oomycete (water mold) called Phytophthora ramorum and is infecting various tree species in the Northern & Central California range, most specifically coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), the dominant oak species in this range.
This active stem learning experiment aims to provide a set of advanced laboratory skills to meet the 21st century technology standard to the students. This experiment asks the students to synthesize and quantify a compound that has real application in the medicinal world.
Students recommend the best material for 7-11 store’s cup -- one that keeps hot beverages hot, and cold beverages cold. Using a computer model, students test different cup materials and gather evidence to support their recommendation.
This activity will extend student knowledge of various nonrenewable and renewable energy sources into a series of stoichiometric calculation sets.
In this lesson students will learn one of the many possible ways to use a 3D printer, while learning about the exciting field of Microfluidics through a hands on experiment. They will study about Microfluidics, create a design, as well as develop and run experiments on the design.
The lesson will task students with performing three-point-flexural tests on pencils of different shapes in order to experimentally calculate the ultimate flexural strength of each pencil.
The bulk properties of a material depend heavily on the microscopic structure of that material.
