Sterilizing Drinking Water Using Sunlight: A Design Challenge
The Boehm Lab focuses much of its research on issues dealing with fresh and saltwater contamination and water quality.
Using tree diagrams to teach about genetic variability during meiosis
The flipped classroom model relies on shifting the burden of learning low-level content to the individual student outside of class, allowing 1.) students to learn this material at their own pace and 2.) class time to be used more exclusively towards applying low-level concepts to high-order probl

Bioengineering Design Challenge: Clearing a blocked artery
Following the steps of the design thinking process and acting as bioengineers, students will use everyday materials to design and develop devices and/or approaches to unclog model blood vessels.
Collecting and Examining Particles in the Atmosphere
True collaboration is difficult to achieve. We all have different ideas about achieving an objective. Often we are reticent in abandoning our ideas in favor of someone else’s. A collaborative approach can help to move a project forward.

Developing and Maintaing Good Nutritional Habits
The purpose of this Educational Transfer Plan is for my 6th grade, physical education students to learn about nutrition, make healthier eating choices, and reflect about their daily food and beverage intake patterns.
Do Changing Light Conditions Affect the Growth of Aiptasia?
Coral reefs are one of nature's most spectacular examples of biodiversity, largely due to the symbiotic relationship between algae and colonial polyps, the organisms that secrete the calcium carbonate shell that make up the coral reef.
Exploring Science Through Art
The goal of this Education Transfer Plan (ETP) is to engage students in understanding that the growth and development of organisms are not always visible to the human eye. To explore this process, students will use time-lapse photography to investigate an organism in the natural environment.
From Jellyfish to Glowing Bacteria
Students will be making bacterial cells glow in the dark! In this lab the students will transform bacterial cells to express the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) from a bioluminescent jellyfish. The students will then write a formal lab report and present their findings to the class.
From the Lab Bench to your Medicine Cabinet: Testing & Delivering New Treatment Solutions to Patients
Have your students ever wondered how drugs are tested before they come to market? Or how researchers choose their clinical research participants?
