61. Mini-courses For Teachers Of Science and environmental education programs designed to teach students how activities suitablefor the classroom will be A final project developing a botany unit for http://www.virginia.edu/blandy/teach.html

Opportunities for Teachers Blandy Experimental Farm The State Arboretum of Virginia hosts a variety of one-day workshops in the “Project” curriculum series and mini-courses for teachers of science . Each opportunity qualifies for re-certification points or university-level professional development graduate credit. ONE-DAY WORKSHOPS The “Project” curricula are interdisciplinary conservation and environmental education programs designed to teach students how to think— not what to think— about environmental issues. Workshops for formal and informal educators of students in kindergarten through high school include activity guides plus lots of additional goodies to take back to the classroom. Each workshop is free and provides 6 hours of re-certification credit. All activities are coordinated with the Virginia Standards of Learning. To schedule a workshop for your district or school, contact Judy Hoff, 540-837-1758 Ext. 42 or jah8k@virginia.edu Project Learning Tree uses the forest as a "window" on the world to increase students' understanding of our environment; stimulate students' critical and creative thinking; develop students' ability to make informed decisions on environmental issues; and instill in students the commitment to take responsible action on behalf of the environment. (www.plt.org) The goal of Project WET is to facilitate and promote awareness, appreciation, knowledge, and stewardship of water resources through the development and dissemination of classroom-ready teaching aids and through the establishment of state and internationally sponsored Project WET programs.

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES January 1, 2002 - December 31, 2002 Graduate Students Paul Beardsley Paul served as Visiting Professor at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He taught Ecology, Plant Ecology, Biostatistics, and Biology of Plants. Susan Grose's study is a phylogenetic analysis of two groups in the Bignoniaceae (the tribe Crescentieae and the genus Tabebuia). She is looking at the evolutionary relationships of these groups and examining the development of the unilocular, indehiscent fruit characteristic of the Crescentieae, which differs from the bilocular, dehiscent fruit typical of the rest of the family. She has been databasing specimens from large loans from institutions including the Smithsonian, the Missouri Botanical Garden, and the New York Botanical Garden. Susan presented a talk at Botany 2002 in Madison, WI entitled "Patterns of evolution in neotropical Bignoniaceae: The Crescentieae/ Tabebuia conundrum". Suzanne Joneson is conducting a phylogenetic study of the Ramalina almquistii complex. In the winter, spring and fall quarters Suzanne was a Teaching Assistant for Introduction to Botany (Botany 110), Introduction to Biology for Majors (Biology 220) and Introduction to Biology for Nonmajors (Biology101), respectively. In May, she led a field trip for Biology 180 to study the lichen flora of Deception Pass. Suzanne has ongoing work with Dr. Katherine Glew to study and map the distribution of the lichen taxa Thamnolia subuliformis and Thamnolia vermicularis in North America.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY LAB LABORATORY SYLLABUS FOR BOTANY 4400, FALL 2003 Teaching Assistant Jonathan Adelman, Department of Botany Office Hrs to be arranged Meeting time and place 1:10PM to 4:00 PM T or W, Rm 207, Aven Nelson Building Text Written instructions for lab activities will be provided by the course instructor. Objectives To demonstrate basic concepts of plant physiology. The tangible experience of plant function in the lab lends substance to the purely abstract discussion of plant function in lecture. Most of you will find that it is much easier to learn something that you have actually touched and seen as well as heard someone talk about. To teach simple laboratory techniques in plant physiology. These include basic absorption spectroscopy, making solutions and buffers, plant tissue culture, differential centrifugation, and assays of enzyme activity. Most of these are directly or indirectly applicable to laboratory work that you might find yourself doing after you leave school. As examples, plant tissue culture includes aseptic culture techniques that are used in the health sciences and many branches of biology. Spectroscopy is used throughout the physical and life sciences. To teach formulation and testing of hypotheses. Making hypotheses and testing them experimentally is the most effective way in which people learn about the physical world. It is an intellectual activity that comes naturally to most people but it must be practiced to become a skill. This lab course includes a research project that allows you to practice formulation and testing of hypotheses in a biological setting.

SCHOOLYARD LTER TEACHER PROFILES Jocelyn Baker - Manhattan High School Science Joc collaborated with the Konza Environmental Education Program last fall by helping to develop the "Effect of fire on tallgrass prairie plant diversity" activity for her 1998 botany class. She is also an active docent and participant on the Friends of Konza Prairie committees. She was helpful in offering ideas and concerns about possible projects. She is aware of the need to get students involved with their natural surroundings, and has each student participate in an activity. She incorporates information on the tall grass prairie ecosystem into her botany class. She is definitely willing to continue with her ongoing projects, plus incorporating new projects into her other science classes. Stacey Cooke - Fort Riley Middle School Science Stacey has a unique opportunity to teach kids who have been all over the country and/or all over the world with their military parents. He awakens them to the prairie ecosystem, so that they might take this knowledge with them in their future travels. He seems very aware of what his kids would be interested in and capable of doing.

My students and I use phylogenies, together with molecular, physiological, ultrastructural, paleontological, and ecological methods, to trace the first appearance of fundamental plant features such as embryo, cuticle, walled spores, meristems, plastid carbonic anhydrases, and bacterial and fungal associations. This work necessarily focuses on charophycean green algaethe modern protists most closely related to plants, and bryophytesthe earliest-divergent plant lineages. Recent research students have worked on : 1) molecular ecology of eubacteria associated with peat mosses ( Sphagnum spp.) from northern Wisconsin bogs, with an emphasis on methane oxidizers, 2) molecular ecology of eubacteria associated with charophycean green algae of northern Wisconsin bogs, with an emphasis on nitrogen fixers, 3) evolution of meristems, plasmodesmata, and cuticles, 4) Ordovician fossils from the Madison area, including bryophyte-like remains and the earliest-known fossil fungi (Glomales, a group known to commonly form symbiotic associations with plants), 5) hexose transporter genes and proteins of charophycean algae and bryophytes, 6) TEM immunolocalization studies and activity measurements of carbonic anhydrases in charophycean algae.

I Spy the Alphabet Pages 8-9 of I Spy School Days vividly illustrate the letters of the alphabet: "A" is for alphabet, and is painted with letters; "B" is for balloons (that are blue), and is covered with them. Children strengthen language skills by identifying initial sounds of words with the letters of the alphabet. Here are some fun alphabet activities that can be done at school or at home. Alphabet Collage On sheets of cardboard or construction paper, draw freehand or use stencils to create large letters. Cut out the letters, being careful to make them wide enough to accommodate collage materials. Cut out more than one of the letters that are used frequently when spelling (ex. vowels, l, r, t.) Provide a variety of collage supplies and glue for children to decorate the cardboard letters. Instruct them to choose materials, colors, or objects that can be associated with the letter they are decorating. For instance, "P" might be painted purple, then decorated with pictures of "people" and "polka dots." After all of the letters are decorated, have the children spell out their names or other words. They may also enjoy unscrambling groups of letters to spell words.
