Osuga, Hanako; Foster, Jason; Chowning, Jeanne Ting – Science Teacher, 2022
Increasingly, science teachers are seeking phenomena that will allow them to explore both scientific content and socially relevant issues. The authors describe a series of lessons that (1) model the exoneration of wrongly convicted individuals using the science of DNA analysis and (2) contextualize individual cases within a larger system where…

Ormandy, Elisabeth; Schwab, Janella C.; Suiter, Samantha; Green, Nicole; Oakley, Janice; Osenkowski, Pamela; Sumner, Christine – American Biology Teacher, 2022
Animal dissection is practiced to varying degrees around the world and is particularly prevalent in North America throughout all levels of education. However, a growing number of studies suggest that nonanimal teaching methods (NAMs) (e.g., virtual anatomy tools and three-dimensional models) are better for achieving learning goals compared to…

Ault, Addison – Journal of Chemical Education, 2002
Defends cookbooks and lab manuals. Both can provide reliable procedures; are good places to start; and need not stand in the way of understanding, insight, or imagination. (MM)

Paulton, Richard J. L. – Journal of Biological Education, 1991
A procedure that allows students to view an entire bacterial growth curve during a two- to three-hour student laboratory period is described. Observations of the lag phase, logarithmic phase, maximum stationary phase, and phase of decline are possible. A nonpathogenic, marine bacterium is used in the investigation. (KR)

Walkosz, Ronald – American Biology Teacher, 1991
An exercise that uses a common bacterium, E. coli, in great numbers, to detect a demonstrable change in the ability of some cells to become resistant to the common antibiotic streptomycin is presented. The procedure for preparing and pouring the gradient antibiotic plates is provided. The advantages of using the Basic Fuchsin in the agar are…

Strange, Arthur – Science Teacher, 1983
Describes a method of staining that makes details clear and dispenses with the time-consuming use of chemicals. The Rheinberg differential color illumination, (or optical staining) is strikingly beautiful and is especially useful with living or nonliving unstained, transparent specimens. Color photographs of sample specimens are included.…

do Couto Tavares, Milton; And Others – Physics Education, 1991
A mechanical analogy between the microscopic motion of a charged carrier in an ordinary resistor and the macroscopic motion of a ball falling along a slanted board covered with a lattice of nails is introduced. The Drude model is also introduced to include the case of inelastic collisions. Computer simulation of the motion is described. (KR)
