Case It v5.03 is a computer simulation that will perform common laboratory procedures on any DNA or protein sequence, including PCR, ELISA, DNA gel electrophoresis, western blot, Southern blot and so on. By using the computer simulation together with designed cases (such as infectious diseases, inherited diseases or crime scenes), students will have the opportunities to propose questions,...

This module has sections with an overview and in-depth look at the key players involved in photosynthesis as well as a movie that pulls it all together. It illustrates the flow of energy, chemical reactions, and establishment of the proton gradient across the membrane that results in the production of NADPH2 and ATP in photosynthesis. The animation distinguishes the reactions in Photsystem II,...

In this approximately 20 to 25 minute lecture activity, students work collaboratively in groups to learn about the genetic basis of, and molecular mechanisms behind, the variation observed in squirrel coat color. As components of the activity, students will respond in groups to clicker style questions, and will work together to complete a worksheet that, ultimately, requires the construction of a...
