View Resource Cell Division and the Eukaryotic Cell Cycle Teachable Tidbit: Mitosis and Meiosis

This activity is designed to help students with the concepts of mitosis and meiosis. Specifically, the activity is designed to help students learn the different recognized stages of mitosis, differentiate homologous and nonhomologous chromosomes and recognize sister chromatids (duplicated chromosomes). In addition, students complete an activity in which they simulate/model the process of meiosis,...

View Resource Teachable Tidbit: Photosynthesis for Non-Majors

In this activity, a visual model of the reactions of photosynthesis (and to a lesser extent, respiration) is provided to students. Students evaluate the model in groups, and subsequently use it to answer questions about the model as presented, as well as the results of perturbations to the pathways indicated in the model. These ?perturbation? questions require students to step back and ana...

View Resource Genomics & GMOs Teachable Tidbit: When life gives you lemons…make pink lemonade

In this activity (app. 25 min), a case-study style problem is presented to students (?The Roundup Story") that describes the use of roundup (herbicide) in agriculture, and the development of ?roundup ready? crop strains. The case study approach incorporates a great number of questions, which are designed to guide the students to a clear understanding of how genetically modified organisms (GMOs...

View Resource Of Mice and Methyl Groups Teachable Tidbit (Epigenetics)

This is a one-day teachable unit with pre and post-class activities. Materials in this teachable unit are geared towards introducing epigenetics as a form of non-genetic inheritance to students who have little or no prior knowledge of epigenetics. Students are however expected to have a basic understanding of the central dogma: replication, transcription, translation, and their regulatory...

View Resource Biotechnology Active Learning Teachable Tidbit

In this activity, students are exposed to some of the most significant biomolecules currently exploited by technology and identify their natural origins. They also explain the significance of the roles these biomolecules play in nature, as well as for humans. Specifically, students work to develop a logical process for a real-life application of biotechnology (insulin production) using knowledge...
