Applications Of Probeware For Biology Education Graphical Modeling allows you to use Coach to teach concepts such as the effectsof disease or List of biology activities already on the Coach CDROM http://www.harris-educational.com/Probeware/disciplines/biology.htm
Extractions: Applications of Probeware for Biology Scroll Down for Table of Contents Introduction Biology, as it has been presented to students in the past is traditionally more of a qualitative science than a quantitative science. Experiments involving the collection of data were difficult because of the specialized equipment required, or because of the long intervals of time needed to observe changes to living systems. CoachLab probeware makes these problems go away and makes experiments possible that could not have been attempted ten years ago. On this page you will find information about using CoachLab software and hardware (as well as TI-CBL) in Biology Coach can record data for long periods of time (many days) thus allowing you to record and control biological experiments that monitor processes that take a long time. Coach can control outputs and equipment thus allowing you to control and manipulate a variable in an experiment. Coach has tools that let you integrate mathematics into your biology lessons.
Extractions: The following comments may be of aid to beginning instructors of undergraduate biology. Educational activities must reflect what real people actually do, as biologically literate citizens or employees. Little of their time is spent watching lectures, rather they are involved in application of information decision-making, problem-solving, investigation, debate among peers, critical thinking, creative thinking, and information-retrieval. These are the activities that should be occurring in the lecture hall, field, and laboratory. Fortuitously, they are also the kinds of activities that create an exhilarating learning environment. All too often biology courses over-emphasize trivial and easy-to-test activities that ask students only to recall, recognize, describe, or "compare and contrast" information that has been memorized. I have observed this weakness on the exams of major universities. Alfred Whitehead noted that "So far as the mere imparting of information is concerned, no university has had any justification for existence since the popularization of printing in the fifteenth century." The introductory course should incorporate a diversity of learning outcomes, and this diversity should be reflected both in classroom activities and in student assessment protocols.

Each week, Penn students learn the relevant biology background and techniques for a hands-on activity and then teach the hands-on activity to a small group of high school students. Topics for the hands-on activities include microbiology, genetics, and human physiology. The course begins with a few classes about successful approaches to teaching biology in urban high schools.

We begin the semester with two classes concerning successful approaches for teaching biology in urban high schools. Then we begin a series of weekly hands-on activities which teach fundamental aspects of cell biology, microbiology, genetics, plant biology, and human physiology. During the first session of each week, Penn faculty teach Penn students the relevant biological background and techniques for a hands-on activity. During the second session of each week, each Penn student teaches the hands-on activity to a small group of UCHS students. professors

In one laboratory, the instructor draws diagrams of the heart on the board, labels each part with its anatomical name, and explains exactly how the dissection should proceed. Students copy the drawings and learn the terms and then begin the actual dissection.

Extractions: Biology Curriculum Enhancement Using Digital Images and Audio David M. Stone University Laboratory High School , Urbana, IL Current Curriculum and Classroom Practices In January, 1999, University of Illinois Beckman Center faculty asked me to join them in the development of Bugscope (http://bugscope.beckman.uiuc.edu), a project which allows classrooms across the country the opportunity to examine arthropods using an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) via the World Wide Web. Bugscope serves as an excellent opportunity for many in-class projects, dealing with entomology, microscopy, and basic principles of scientific research. Currently, four of my students have been trained to run the $600,000 microscope. They prepare specimens and position them in the microscope's viewing chamber so that classes at other schools can operate the computer and observe directly from their school's computers, using a standard web browser. These Uni High students are in the process of writing a Web-based handbook to guide those remotely using the ESEM for the first time. By Fall, 1999, we hope to have the interface developed such that Uni High students will also be able to take part in online, real-time discussions with students in the participating classrooms. At this point, approximately 60 classrooms have signed up for single-hour, online microscopic examination of specimens they have collected and mailed to the BugScope staff in Illinois.
