Extractions: T EACHING ACTIVITIES M.Sc. and Ph.D. courses are directed towards studies of principles of host parasite relationships. The subject includes organismal parasitology (biology of parasitic Protozoa and helminths, medical entomology), cell biology and biochemistry of parasites, parasite immunology, pathology and epidemiology of parasitic infections. Strong emphasis is placed on synthesis of biochemical and molecular approaches of the study of parasitism with the knowledge and understanding of the organisms involved. Students are given practical training in methods, identification of parasites, and participate in a Parasitology Field Course. The parasitology unit participates in the Postgraduate Program in Biomedicine and its research and teaching potential is strenghtened by close cooperation with the Department of Tropical Medicine of the 1st Faculty of Medicine. COURSES UG-for undergraduate students, G-for graduate students, L-lectures, P-practical courses Introduction to Parasitology (UG).

Extractions: The goal of the Summer Institute for Undergraduate Biology Education is to transform biology education at research universities by improving classroom education and attracting more students to research. We intend to train a new generation of faculty by introducing them to a scientific approach to teaching that reflects the way we function at researchers. The target group is novice and experienced instructors of introductory biology courses with high enrollments. We will select from the applicant pool 18 pairs of faculty from 18 different research universities. The Institute will include reflective writing, planning, reading, researching, and talking about teaching methods and philosophy, and will involve a mixture of presentations by expert teachers and development of new teaching materials by the participants in small groups. The outcomes will be a set of teaching materials that all of the participants will all test at their home institution in the ensuing academic year.
Rader's BIOLOGY4KIDS.COM difficult to say how many biology glossary entries are available from the glossary. activities (About 70 for biology) By are around seventy activities for biology alone, we have http://www.biology4kids.com/
Extractions: The content that was on BIOLOGY4KIDS has been moved to the new subscription based KAPILI.COM. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We believe that directing our efforts into one large science site will create a more successful learning experience. We hope you visit the new site. Learn a little about the new site below... The Kapili tutorials break down key ideas of elementary science and technology. Our tutorials are designed to break down a single topic into four parts. Each part will have a short paragraph and graphic used to illustrate an idea. We are using this style to help you learn complex ideas in bite-sized pieces. While there are over 90 activities for life sciences, we have over 300 tutorials for all of the material we cover on the site. You might be asking, "But what about a big topic like cells?" Using cells as an example you will find one page that talks about the general idea of what a cell is. Linked to that page and our main biology tutorial list you will find dozens of other pages. If you are new to cells you can start there and then move to a tutorial on the cell membrane, mitochondria, or peroxisomes. Each of the detailed tutorials will have the same layout with four concepts and four graphics.

Extractions: Students explore basic ecology concepts and scientific processes using spiders as model organisms. They will capture spiders, observe and care for them, and use them to answer their own questions about spider behavior. Modeling the process of a research scientist, each team of students will design and conduct their own experiment. Simultaneously, the class will collaborate on joint projects investigating feeding rates of spiders and their importance in controlling the numbers of insects (by conducting a field study on or near school grounds). Designed for both middle and high school students

Extractions: Introduction Background Curriculum Standards Implementation ... Conclusion Introduction Take Two , a play produced by the Virginia Science Museum , is intended for high school students and addresses issues dealing with organ transplantation. The teacher resource guide that accompanies the play is a compilation of lesson plans, discussion suggestions, and activities to supplement the use of this play in the classroom. This WebQuest is an optional activity which incorporates biology and technology to help students understand xenotransplantation and it's impact on society through research on the World Wide Web. Through this lesson, students will examine the controversies surrounding xenotransplantation by working in groups to role-play specific organizations known to be for and against the issue. The role-playing will take the form of presentations/debates before the hypothetical U.S. Committee on Bioethics. Students will act as members of the Committee and vote on legislation aimed at banning xenotransplantation. Their votes should represent their personal viewpoints defined through their own group's research and/or the presentations of other groups. The synthesis of researching, presenting, and debating the issue should provide the students with a wealth of information on the current controversy surrounding the recent breakthroughs in xenotransplantation.

Extractions: Research Interests: Bacterial Evolution and the Biology of Traditional Herbal Medicines My laboratory group is currently engaged in several areas of research, which uses bacteria as model systems to look at important biological problems. The areas of research are: Much of our understanding about the biology of gene regulation, physiology, adaptation, and evolution comes from bacterial systems. Most studies involve rapidly growing cells. However in nature this is the exception rather than the rule. Cells repeatedly experience situations where they do not divide or divide infrequently due to resource limitations. We seek to understand how cells adapt and evolve during such periods. Paradoxically, this state seems to help direct mutational events to adaptively beneficial genes. This has been termed adaptive mutation and has raised a heated debate in the scientific community. Our goal is to study how cells genetically adapt to conditions of limited or no growth and to ascertain the molecular mechanism(s) used to evolve new or enhanced genetic constructs during such periods. Our current focus is to understand how the adaptive mutation response is regulated and identify the genes that are involved in it regulation.
