Between the Living and the Dead. L_016_01. Key Concepts - AP Biology. Wisconsin Fast Plants® Program. BioBuilding: Synthetic Biology for Teachers. PDF of this page BioBuilding for Teachers Welcome!
We're glad you've found these pages. The curricular materials in Synthetic Biology offered here present exciting possibilities for teaching, as well as a non-zero amount of energy on your part to implement the content in your classroom. The Biology Exam Content. Exam Information (AP Biology Exam from spring 2012 and prior)Exam Content The Topic Outline in the Course Description provides details about the content on the exam.
About 25 percent of the multiple-choice questions are likely to be on the subject areas listed under Area I (molecules and cells). Similarly, one of the four essay questions will also be taken from that area; another question will be on Area II (heredity and evolution); and the remaining two questions will be on Area III (organisms and populations). In answering any of the four free-response questions, students may need to analyze and interpret data or information drawn from lab experience (as well as from lecture material) or to integrate material from different areas of the course. Multiple-Choice Questions For sample multiple-choice questions, refer to the Course Description.AP Biology Course and Exam Description, Effective Fall 2012 (.pdf/490KB)

Cut open the pepper and count the number of seeds inside. Record the total in Data Table 2 and on the SMARTboard so that a class total can be obtained. Assume that the number of bell peppers in the class represents the number of peppers produced by one bell pepper plant in a growing season. Here is an example of a data table, make a blank one for your journal. 2. 3. (a) Only one bell pepper plant existed the first year and that it produced the number of seeds represented by the class total. (b) Each seed always grows into a new bell pepper plant the next year. (c) Each new plant always produces the class total number of seeds. (d) All pepper plants die at the end of the year. 4. Correctly before continuing.) 5. Method as a mathematical equation. 6. 7. 8.
DNA with a Twist. Researchers show that DNA supercoils are dynamic structures that can “hop” long distances, a phenomenon that could affect gene regulation. iStock, alengo Scientists’ understanding of how long strings of DNA are packaged into tiny spaces just got a little more complicated.
New research on single molecules of DNA show that supercoils—segments of extra-twisted loops of DNA—can moving by “jumping” along a DNA strand. The results, published today (September 13) in Science, give researchers new insights into DNA organization and point to a surprisingly speedy mechanism of gene regulation inside cells. Artificial Selection Investigation - Wisconsin Fast Plants Network. 6 Virtual Tours Of The Human Body For Free Interactive Anatomy Lessons. When it comes to interactive virtual views, we have gone to space and around the globe.
So, it’s not surprising that we are also going within ourselves on a virtual journey of the human body. One of the finest tools available online is Visible Body. Unfortunately, it’s not free anymore. Introduction to Statistics: Mean, Median, and Mode. Membrane Channels - Membrane Channels, Membrane Potential, Cell Membrane. Science Knowledge Survey. Science Knowledge Survey Introduction A recent study shows that if teachers know the likely misconceptions that their students have about a topic, those students will show greater gains than if the teacher just knows the accurate science involved.
This makes a very strong case for assessing students to see what misconceptions they may have about each upcoming general topic. In order to get an untainted insight into any misconceptions about the nature of science that your students may have, you may want to administer a short pre-test within the first day or so of the course. So, after (or before, if you prefer) your dramatic opening (Click Here and scroll down to "The First Days), plan to insert your pre-test (Science Knowledge Survey) in some 15-20 minute time slot as early as you can. SCIENCE KNOWLEDGE SURVEY To see our "Science Knowledge Survey" (as an example), just scroll down to the bottom of this page. 1.
Cook, J., and S. 1. 2. Articles. Scientific American, January 2007Link (Reprinted in the Best American Science Writing 2008) Natural selection is not natural perfection.
Living creatures have evolved some remarkably complex adaptations, but we are still very vulnerable to disease. Among the most tragic of those ills--and perhaps most enigmatic--is cancer. A cancerous tumor is exquisitely well adapted for survival in its own grotesque way. These facts make cancer a grim yet fascinating puzzle for evolutionary biologists. The study of cancer evolution is still in its infancy, with much debate about the mechanisms involved and much testing of hypotheses left to carry out.
