  • This World of Humans: Episode #3 Guide for Educators
    This World of Humans: Episode #3 Guide for Educators Traffic Pollution Shortens Children’s Chromosomes These activities address NGSS ETS1.A, ESS3.A, ESS3.D, as well as specific Cross-Cutting Concepts and Science and Engineering Practices (see page 8). Many are also suitable for courses designated as “Writing-Intensive.” About the Article This article presents early research into the effect of traffic-related air pollution on telomere length in the cells of children living in Fresno, CA. The authors developed this pilot study to explore connections between the amount of PAH in the atmosphere and telomere length, with the aim of shedding light onto the relationship between air pollution and cardiopulmonary disease. About the interview In this interview, Dr. Balmes discusses the research and its implications for society. This includes a more in- depth look into the study design (including modeling PAH exposure) and study population. Both the article and the interview can be found here: https://www.visionlearning.com/en/twoh/#ep3 Recommended: pair these materials with the Visionlearning modules: Modeling in Scientific Research and/or Using Graphs and Visual Data in Science (see “Extension Activities” on page 4). Use in the Classroom These materials are useful for exploring ways in which scientists build models to understand causation and correlation…. Students should read the article before listening to the interview. 1. Pre-reading and pre-listening activities are provided to prompt prior knowledge and help students make connections between their own lives and the research they are learning about. Materials may be used in the classroom to generate discussion, or as homework if the article or interview will be read/listened to in-class.

  • Guide for Educators
    This World of Humans: Episode #1 Guide for Educators Junk DNA These activities address NGSS LS1.A, LS3.A, and LS3.B, as well as specific Cross-Cutting Concepts and Science and Engineering Practices (see page 6). Many are also suitable for courses designated as “Writing-Intensive.” About the Article This article builds on existing scholarship in the structure and function of genomes and presents a model for identifying how much of the human genome serves a functional purpose. The article helps explain why the functional genes within the human genome are limited, while the remaining “junk” DNA may be important for future functions. Importantly, it examines the critical role genetic mutation plays in survival of a species. About the interview In this interview, Dr. Graur explains what we mean by “junk” DNA and the ways in which DNA sequences are or are not important to current genomic function. The interview also explores the ways in which foreign DNA from viruses, etc., can “invade” the human genome. Both the article and the interview can be found here: https://www.visionlearning.com/en/twoh/#ep1 Recommended: pair these materials with Population Genetics. For students needing a refresher on DNA, the Visionlearning series DNA I, II, and III are also useful accompaniments. Use in the Classroom These materials are useful for exploring how scientists use non-human communities to understand human ones. They also assist in building understanding of the different ways in which scientific information can be conveyed depending on audience. Students should read the article before listening to the interview.

A conimnnity of learners, characterized S by inquiry and discovery, can be uiitiated tlirough the process of storytelling. The Storyline Approach is an inquiry-based teaching method based upon a strategy first in- troduced by Kieran Egan (1986). Tiie story structure can provide students with a framework for concept formation and for the retention of the concept.

  • Science As a Way of Knowing
    1 Science as a Way of Knowing Best practices for proposing new courses Introduction and history In response to the 2010‐2011 Academic Program Review of the Liberal Studies Program, the Scientific, Analytical and Computational Thinking Working Group recommended the development of a new designation within Scientific Inquiry: Science as a Way of Knowing. This recommendation was approved by the Provost through a Memorandum of Understanding. The Liberal Studies Council then formed an ad‐hoc working group to craft new learning outcomes for SWK, and subsequently these were approved by LSC. As a final step, the new learning outcomes were presented to Faculty Council at their Oct 2014 meeting and approved the following month. The Scientific Inquiry Domain will work to solicit and review new course proposals for SWK and integrate SWK into our normal syllabi review and assessment cycle. We emphasize that all new SWK classes will go through the proposal process, and no current SI classes will be grandfathered in. Current SI elective courses can be modified to meet the new learning outcomes of SWK by adding activities and assignments that focus on the process and nature of science. To aid faculty in developing new courses or adapt current ones, this best practices document provides example syllabi and exercises. Our goal is to offer students SWK courses that stress the nature and process of science, instead of focusing on delivering scientific content. The SWK designation is effective starting with students matriculating during the fall of 2015. From the student perspective, the SWK requirement will replace one of two required SI electives, if the student’s degree program originally required three SI courses.
