This lab activity from the Biotechnology Alliance for Suncoast Biology Educators (BABSE) demonstrates how to do proper scientific measurements and the calculations associated with them. It also covers how to make a graph of data and how to interpret the data and associated graphs. It contains an...

This 5-page lesson plan, provided by Northwestern Connecticut Community College, includes an activity that has students investigate bacterial growth under specific conditions using different sources. Sources include an unwashed hand, a hand washed with soap and water, a hand sanitized with...

This page, from the Nikon Corporation, provides a wealth of resources about microscopy for students and professionals alike. The Latest Review Articles section provides written, in-depth summaries of topics like fluorescent proteins and microscope focus drift, and the Optical Microscopy Tutorials on...

This project aims to demonstrate the effective use of technology to a student-centered, model-based approach to secondary science teaching. Using a variety of computer-based manipulable models and probeware, MAC teaches students how to create, refine, and apply mental models to improve their...

The Molecular Expressions website features photo galleries that explore the fascinating world of optical microscopy. The site offers a large collection of color photographs taken through an optical microscope (commonly referred to as "photo-micro-graphs"). The Photo Gallery contains an introductory...

The PhET project at the University of Colorado creates "fun, interactive, research-based simulations of physical phenomena." This particular one deals with molecular polarity. When is a molecule polar? Change the electronegativity of atoms in a molecule to see how it affects polarity. This...

This website from Duke University is a project-based data archive that collects thousands of 3D morphological data and models. The website allows researchers to store and organize, share, and distribute their own 3D data. Registered users can search for and download 3D morphological data sets that...

This classroom module will help students understand "how a polymer based multilayered coating method can be used to control the release of biological agents for different applications." The experiment is described step by step in the document; photographs are also included. The activity is intended...

In this webinar, published by the National Center for Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge, Mrunalini Pattarkine from Harrisburg University discusses efforts to develop a trained workforce in nanobiotechnology. Pattarkine provides an overview of nanobiotechnology, career opportunities...

The National Center for Biotechnology Information presents the first full release of all NCBI Reference Sequence (RefSeq) records. RefSeq "aims to provide a comprehensive, integrated, non-redundant set of sequences, including genomic DNA, transcript (RNA), and protein products for major research...
