Join Stephanie Brunnett of Lab-Aids at the 123rd Annual STANYS Conference.
Stephanie will be hosting the following workshops. Please stop in and join us.
Modeling the Development of Antibiotic Resistance
Students use a model to explore the cause-and-effect relationship between inappropriate use of antibiotics and the phenomenon of the evolution of antibiotic resistance. As they use the model, students use mathematical representations to support their analysis of patterns and trends in the results and to develop explanations for how and why the population of bacteria is changing.
Energy Transfer
Students apply their understanding of the concepts of energy transfer and transformation to compare the efficiencies of two different types of light bulbs. They do so by measuring the amount of thermal energy produced by the two bulbs, applying the law of conservation of energy, and calculating how much of the electrical energy supplied was converted into light energy.
Modeling the Cell Cycle in Normal and Cancerous Cells
Participate in an engaging inquiry-based cooperative activity that helps students learn about the phases and control of the cell cycle. In this hands-on simulation, students explore the role of the cell cycle in the growth and development of various normal tissues, the factors that regulate the cycle, and the disruptions that lead to cancer. The activity and approaches presented are from the "Cell Biology: World Health" unit of SEPUP's Science and Global Issues: Biology.
