Q4B Concept Inventories | Questions For Biology Listed below are the Concept Inventories that are being developed by various members of the Q4B team. For information regarding specific inventories, click on the links to read the rationale behind development, how many questions have been – or will be – developed, the anticipated development timeframe until the inventory is ready for use, and any other inventory-specific information such as important teaching notes/guides. We encourage interested instructors from tertiary institutions to get in touch with team members to obtain concept inventories for use in their classes; in all cases, we ask instructors to send messages to the individuals who have worked on the inventories in which they are interested. Messages can be sent via secure forms on the People page. Validated Concept Inventories (for which complete packages can be provided) 1: Biological Experimental Design Concept Inventory (BEDCI) 2: Meiosis 3: Population Dynamics 4: Speciation 6: Transcription and Translation 1: Adaptation
9 Apps for Young Scientists · Playful Learning I am thrilled to have Rebecca from ThirteenRedShoes back with us today. She has a great list of app recommendations for the young scientists in our lives. Mariah asked me to put together a post on science apps available for children. Here are some great new apps that I have encountered recently. Here are my top science finds for little ones ages four and above: Planets – This application, which is universal, therefore available for both iPhone and iPad, is very clever. Make sure to check out Rebecca’s other app recommendations in the posts below (click on the photo)… The name Thirteen Red Shoes came about a few years ago when Rebecca needed a business name quickly for some tutoring she was doing. Know someone else who would enjoy this activity?

The site is colorful and makes silly sounds as you move your mouse around the page. Kids can read science trivia, science jokes, and play science games. The site also has just over a dozen experiments that kids can perform in school or at home under the supervision of their parents. This site from the BBC offers information, games, and quizzes on a wide variety of scientific topics. EurekAlert is a science based site that offers a large collection of kid friendly, science based new articles. Love my Science offers a large selection of fun science experiments that can be performed safely at home or in school with everyday objects. Cells Alive is the place for students to go when learning about cells.
The Illustrated Guide to Epigenetics Illustrations by Joe Kloc This month marks the ten-year anniversary of the sequencing of the human genome, that noble achievement underpinning the less noble sales of 23andMe's direct-to-consumer genetic tests. To commemorate the scientific occasion, we've created an illustrated introduction to one subfield of genetics likely to produce even more dubious novelty science projects someday: epigenetics. What is epigenetics? FIGURE 1: Through a process called mitosis, a single cell (A) splits into two cells (B) with identical genetic information. FIGURE 2: DNA coils around proteins called histones, forming a nucleosome. How does the epigenome work? Molecular "caps" called methyl groups can be attached to genes in order to effectively block them from giving instructions to the cell (FIGURE 3). FIGURE 3: Methyl groups attach themselves to base pairs of a gene, changing the way the gene is expressed.In these two ways the epigenome controls which genes ultimately get expressed.
Välkommen till Geologisk Pedagogknappen är ditt stöd när du arbetar med materialet. Till varje övning finns det en lärarhandledning. Där finner du en genomgång av övningens olika delar, hur du kan använda länkar och tillhörande filmer (se nedan). Övningarnas uppläggVarje övning innehåller flera olika steg och uppgifter. Geologen berättar”Geologen berättar” ger en koppling till verkligheten och erbjuder samtidigt ett geologiskt perspektiv på frågor kopplade till övningen. Diskussionsfrågor och länkarI övningens inledande del finns diskussionsfrågor. UppgiftI varje övning finns en uppgift för eleverna. Gräv djupareTill uppgiften finns även en fördjupning, ”Gräv djupare”. Exit ticketMed ”Exit ticket" får du som pedagog en snabb återkoppling på vad eleverna har fått ut av arbetet med övningen och vad de har lärt sig.
