Cleaning Up with Decomposers
Read the Fine Print
Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

Students investigate decomposers and the role of decomposers in maintaining the flow of nutrients in an environment. Students also learn how engineers use decomposers to help clean up wastes in a process known as bioremediation. This lesson concludes a series of six lessons in which students use their growing understanding of various environments and the engineering design process, to design and create their own model biodome ecosystems.

Engineering CRISPR/Cas9 to mitigate host contamination for 16S amplicon sequencing
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Microbes play essential roles in plant health for sustainable agriculture. A better understanding of plant microbiota could lead to strategies for regulating plant growth, enhancing stress tolerance, and reducing pathogenesis. High-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing is a useful method for studying bacterial community structures. Unfortunately, in plants, contamination of the 16S rRNA genes from the mitochondrion and plastid hinders sensitivity. Now, new research presents a novel method of reducing host contamination for plant microbiota profiling. The technique uses Cas9 and specific guide RNA to cut 16S rRNA targets, removing host contamination for 16S sequencing. In a feasibility test, Cas-16S-seq reduced the fraction of rice 16S rRNA gene sequences from 63.2% to 2.9% in roots and from 99.4% to 11.6% in leaf samples..."

Film Canister Farming
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

In this hands-on botany activity, learners sprout vegetables in film canisters. Learners grow nine seeds each of cabbage, radish, and parsley, experimenting with changing one variable (light, water, or temperature) to explore differences in the germination preferences of the plants. If film canisters aren't available, other small, opaque containers with lids can be substituted.

The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Plants are shaped by the many microbes they host. But scientists are only beginning to understand how, especially in underexplored plant structures like aerial roots. A new study shows that the mucilage secreted by these roots can create a microbiome unlike that found in underground roots and nurture an environment that caters to beneficial, nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Researchers made these discoveries by examining the aerial roots of pink lady shrubs—a fast-growing invasive plant. Metabolite profiling of aerial root mucilage revealed a rich cocktail of nutrients that would be expected to support an equally rich variety of microbes. But genomic analyses suggested a mucilage community dominated by nitrogen-fixing diazotrophs. This homogeneous community structure was linked to the presence of the fungus C. raphigera. The antibacterial activity of this fungus was such that only diazotrophs were allowed to thrive, to the benefit of the pink lady shrubs..."

Elementary Science and Integrated Subjects is a statewide Clime Time collaboration among ESD 123, ESD 105, and the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. Development of the resources is in response to a need for research- based science lessons for elementary teachers that are integrated with English language arts, mathematics and other subjects such as social studies. The template for Elementary integration can serve as an organized, coherent and research-based roadmap for teachers in the development of their own NGSS aligned science lessons.  Lessons can also be useful for classrooms that have no adopted curriculum as well as to serve as enhancements for  current science curriculum. The EFSIS project brings together grade level teams of teachers to develop lessons or suites of lessons that are 1) focused on grade level Performance Expectations, and 2) leverage ELA and Mathematics Washington State Learning Standards.

How and Why Do Plants Grow?

Rating
0.0 stars

This Lesson Plan is an inquiry based lesson plan that is geared towards third graders. It teaches them about all the different parts of a plant and what makes a plant grow and how they grow. I created this lesson plan with two other classmates. Through this lesson plan the students will be split into groups. Each group will be assigned a flower. They will research their flower and figure out what they need in order to grow (amount of water, amount of sunlight, etc.). They will grow their flowers in class and watch as they change over time!
