Mastery of quantitative skills is increasingly critical for student success in life sciences, but few curricula adequately incorporate quantitative skills. Quantitative Biology at Community Colleges (QB@CC) is designed to address this need by building a grassroots consortium of community college faculty to (1) engage in interdisciplinary…

Computer-aided learning (CAL) is used increasingly to teach anatomy in post-secondary programs. Studies show that augmentation of traditional cadaver dissection and model examination by CAL can be associated with positive student learning outcomes. In order to reduce costs associated with the purchase of skeletons and models and to encourage study…

Baumgartner, Erin – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2010
Preservice preparation courses for elementary teachers of science can provide opportunities to build pedagogical content knowledge. One common concern of preservice teachers is how to cope with a preplanned lesson that does not proceed as planned. Providing opportunities for preservice teachers to experience the unexpected actually immerses them…

Husband, David D. – NSPI Journal, 1978
Describes a unique approach for teaching biology to non-majors. The system used is an adaptation of the audio-tutorial approach and the use of teaching modules called "concept-paks." (VT)

Lindblom, Tim – American Biology Teacher, 2006
The model organism, "Caenorhabditis elegans," in addition to being well suited to genetics and cell biology teaching applications, can also be useful in the physiology laboratory. In this article, the author describes how students in a junior level college Comparative Physiology course have made use of "C. elegans" in semester-long,…

Peer reviewedAriel, Magda; And Others – European Journal of Science Education, 1982
A two-semester basic chemistry course for nonchemistry engineering majors is described. First semester provides introductory chemistry for freshmen while second semester is "customer-oriented," based on a departmental choice of three out of six independent modules. For example, aeronautical engineering "customers" would select…

Effective Methods for Teaching Nonmajors Introductory College Biology: A Critical Literature Review.
Glick, Judith Gail – 1994
Many educators are concerned about the effectiveness of traditional methods of teaching science to nonmajors. This document provides a literature review of applicable research on teaching nonmajors introductory college biology, a discussion of the information gathered, and recommendations for future research. The review examines the following…

PDF pending restorationCohen, Simon – 1979
Models of the motion of an object through space are discussed. The material begins with the simplest view possible in which gravity is the only force examined. Discussion progresses to an examination of the drag force, which is the resistive air force of the wind. Suggestions for further improvements are made at the conclusion of the presentation.…

Soldan, Ted – 1982
The purpose of this series of experiments was to examine two questions related to the effectiveness of computer assisted instruction (CAI). Can microcomputer modules teach effectively, and do they enhance learning when used as a supplement to traditional teaching methods? Part 1 of this report addresses the former question and part 2 addresses the…
