The goal of this ETP is to teach students two of the basic but integral biotechnological techniques, micropipetting and gel electrophoresis. Every single experiment done at The Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) uses these two techniques.
This ETP is an expansion of "Predicting Forest Health: Sudden Oak Death in Coast Live Oak Trees" created by the Ignited Fellow, Angelica Corral in 2017. Sudden oak death (SOD) is a disease infecting various oak species on the West Coast.
Chlamydomonas is a unicellular bi-flagellated green algae. This eukaryotic protist can be found in lakes, ponds, and oceans.
This lesson will introduce students to the basics of decomposition and microbial soil respiration and how these processes influence the carbon cycle.
This lab (lesson) will allow students to gain a modeled laboratory experience of how surface antigens (proteins)on blood cells are used to identify the type of blood we (humans) have. I will set-up the lab as CSI crime scene where students solve who the murderer is based on “blood” evidence.
This ETP is primarily focuses on the collaborative process of students learning information and teaching that information to their group (jigsaw) to establish background information for an experiment using the scientific method.
