Modeling Coral Bleaching Using Sea Anemones
The Organismal Biology course for biology majors at SJCC is a survey of different types of organisms, including microbes, plants, and animals.
Park Management Policy Making: Ground your Discussions in Data and Evidence
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.

Stickleback Evolution
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.
Unseen Domestic Ecosystems
This lab is an introduction to simple animals such as sponges, corals, and sea anemones. Live sea anemone samples will be available, and students will feed them to observe their movement and behavior. Defensive behaviors such as firing of nematocysts will also be directly observed.
When Stroke Strikes
Students will use “When Stroke Strikes” to learn about the mechanisms of stroke, and why strokes are a health threat.

All About Water
My ETP is hands-on Science Unit (5 Lessons-All About Water ) that will help students develop a greater understanding, deeper knowledge and appreciation of water and its integral part of life on this planet.
Break down Complex Lab Procedures using Flow Charts
Students will learn the concept of drawing flow charts to break down difficult lab procedures. Students will begin by using labs used in the iCLEM program to practice the skill of flow charts.
Catalytic Oxidation of Acetone by Copper
The Bent Lab in Stanford’s Chemical Engineering Department focuses on studying the selective deposition of thin films in atomic layer deposition (ALD). These films are important for diffusion barriers, in integrated circuits. ALD is a subclass of chemical vapour deposition.
Data Analysis and Graphing for Chemistry
This ETP is designed to get students ready for inquiry based curriculum. Students will be required to base arguments on evidence provided in tables or graphs, by learning how to read them based on column headings, axis, headings, and best fit lines.
