This project addresses the "Connections" standard of the 5 C’s in ACTFL’s World Readiness Standards for Learning Languages. World language students will use technology as a tool to research, organize and communicate information about their vision for the ideal school.
Coral bleaching research is at the heart of my fellowship in the Pringle Lab at Stanford, where they study the symbiosis between reef-building corals and dinoflagellate algae. This symbiosis is crucial to the survival of coral reefs.
The Goal of this ETP is to have students learn the basic math and science skills needed to perform dilutions correctly and on their own. Dilutions are a very integral part of everyday science /laboratory work but most students entering biology do not possess this skill.
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.
