She has taught Environmental Science and Health and currently teaches 9th grade Living Environment. Uzma received her Bachelors degree from the University of Rochester in Biology and Religion and completed a Masters in Secondary Science Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. In addition to imparting knowledge, she strives to instill an appreciation of nature in her students by designing curriculum that exposes them to the diversity and beauty of life in New York City. Introduction The aim of this project was to integrate a visit to the American Museum of Natural History with a unit focusing on the issues of biodiversity and microbiology. I designed these activities with my students in mind. Baruch is a magnet school with a focus on college prep and thus all the classes are meant to be rigorous and ideally taught at an honors level. Most of the students come fairly well prepared and show interest in science. Although many of our students apply to the school, a significant number are also randomly selected. Thus we serve a variety of academic levels in the same classroom. The students also represent a variety of socio-economic levels and ethnicities. I teach three biology sections each of which is comprised of approximately thirty-five students. All of them will be visiting the Epidemic exhibit located on the

Extractions: Introduction History Headquarters Membership ... Educational resources for schools Microbiology Today February 2000 This issue is the first to be published in the new millennium. We have indulged in a little crystal-ball-gazing to mark the occasion, but also focus on some innovations in microbiology and consider the professional development of microbiologists. To make progress in microbiology - such as combating the effects of harmful micro-organisms or harnessing microbial activities to solve problems - money is required. SGM President Howard Dalton explains how effective communication of our science to the public and policy makers is crucial if future research is to be funded properly. One of the major challenges facing microbiologists is to develop new strategies against microbial infections . Petra Oyston covers the wide-ranging topics addressed by speakers in the SGM/SfAM symposium at the SGM meeting at the University of Warwick (10-11 April 2000). The widespread emergence of antimicrobial drug resistance means that there is no longer a pill for every ill.

At this site select student resources. Microbiology 20 meets for lecture on MWF, 9:00 to 9:50, and for three hours of laboratory experience (twice a week), as scheduled. Optional review sessions may be scheduled outside of the above lecture hours, depending on student interest. The lecture schedule and exam schedule may be changed - students will be given advance notification for changes whenever possible. A biology course, chemistry, and organic chemistry are prerequisites for this course. Students are expected to be familiar with basic chemical and biological principals. Students who feel unprepared for any material covered in this course should contact the instructor for supplemental study materials. Instructor: Dr. Alice D. Wright

Extractions: For high school junior Kirinda Anderson, microbes have a special significance. "I never really thought about them before," she says. "I used to share drinks and lip gloss. Now when somebody asks, I tell them, 'No! There could be microbes!' and my friends say, 'There she goes with the microbes again.'" Anderson, a student at Arlington Senior High School in St. Paul, was one of 51 teens from 13 science museums around the country to attend the week-long YouthALIVE! Institute on Microbiology at the University in August. The conference was sponsored by the American Society for Microbiology, the National Association of Biology Teachers, and the Association of Science and Technology Centers' YouthALIVE! program, which encourages students from low-income families to study science. Hosted by the College of Biological Sciences and the Science Museum of Minnesota, the conference was designed to prepare participants to explain microbial activities such as composting to visitors at their hometown science museums. University microbiologists spent two days of the conference teaching participants the basics of microbiology so they would understand why the activities work. Anderson and the other students examined various effects of microbes, including how bread rises and how cows are able to digest cellulose.

Inventory Database Foreign Nationals Immigration Payments/Taxes Home Education ... Other Educational Programs The diversity of bacteria, fungi, and protists and the roles of these micro-organisms in shaping our environment are given only cursory mention in elementary and secondary classrooms. Often bacteria are presented only as "germs" or disease agents. The evolutionary, ecological, and economic importance of these microbes is not well known among the general public. Each summer, the MBL offers a hands-on workshop for middle and high school teachers (grades 6-12) focusing on activities that can be incorporated into existing classroom curricula. Resident and visiting scientists from the Woods Hole community present teachers with background information and information about current research developments on a variety of topics related to the importance of microbes and microbial processes in the biosphere. Participating teachers will spend time in the laboratory engaging in hands-on activities and will also tour MBL facilities. The workshop emphasizes activities and experimental systems that can be used easily and inexpensively in the classroom to teach basic biological principles. There is also a focus on forming testable questions and designing simple experimental systems for inquiry-based investigation. Participants are allowed time to examine new curriculum materials and share teaching experiences.
New Chalk Vol.2, No.5 theshelf technical computing package, to teach concepts such of the Web for problem-solvingactivities is that be accessible, as in the microbiology project. http://www.unc.edu/courses/pre2000fall/newchalk/
Extractions: (vol. 2, issue 5) Mission Statement Back Issues The Web offers great opportunities to help increase students' problem-solving skills and thereby improve critical thinking. The Web's capacities for immediate feedback, interactivity, and multimedia provide numerous tools to instructors who want to engage students in problem-solving activities. The wealth of information also requires that instructors think carefully about designing activities that teach students to think critically about the available information. This issue of New Chalk looks at some of the issues surrounding online problem solving. Most of us probably had at least one junior high science teacher who found creative ways to teach complex scientific concepts. They used rubber bands, rulers, matches, "hot ice," anything to simplify and demonstrate seemingly inaccessible ideas. Professor Jose Rial of the UNC-CH Geology Department is using the Web for the same reason. He and graduate student Paola Zamora are developing an interactive computer-based geophysics tutorial called GeoMODEL ( http://picasso.gphys.unc.edu:8080/Earth.html
