Have your students ever wondered how drugs are tested before they come to market? Or how researchers choose their clinical research participants?
This lesson uses a historical context to provide a foundational, scientific basis of Earth’s history for high school students. Students will conduct individual internet research to learn when and under what circumstances events in Earth’s history took place.
This Education Transfer Plan (ETP) will introduce biology students to evolution’s ability to create rich and complex structural and behavioral characteristics among a variety of species and how these special features of the natural world are inspiring engineers to design new materials and process
In this laboratory activity, students will develop an understanding of how antigens and antibodies work while experiencing a biomedical application of those processes.
Immunofluorescence utilizes the specificity of antibodies attached to fluorescent dyes to visualize parts of a cell. Immunofluorescence can be used to determine specific protein localization and abundance of various expressed genes in breast cancer cells.
Biomimicry is innovation designed by nature. It is a fast growing field that allows engineers, architects, pharmacists, biotechnologists, transportation planners, telecommunication experts, etc., to look into the biological world for solutions to common design problems.
The Organismal Biology course for biology majors at SJCC is a survey of different types of organisms, including microbes, plants, and animals.
This ETP is a lesson series that would follow a field trip in which data is collected on ecological values. Students will use Microsoft Excel to organize and graph data collected by their class, previous classes, and scientists.
The goal of this laboratory activity is for students to analyze sample specimens from populations of stickleback fish looking at specific characteristics such as spine length and armor plating to interpret the conditions driving evolution.
