Resources for Building On-line Lectures/Modules Compiled by Tina Hartney (3/12/2020) Visual Resources (also goggle on: animation <subject>) Allen Institute Cell Biology and Neuroscience Resources (Building blocks of the brain; Mitosis and Microscopy). Very nifty but quite sophisticated. Would be too lengthy to utilize in BIO 1110L but would be nifty in majors bio or neurobiology courses. https://alleninstitute.org/about/education-outreach/ American Society for Microbiology https://www.asmscience.org/VisualLibrary Amoeba Sisters: go here for playlist of 70 videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwL0Myd7Dk1F0iQPGrjehze3eDpco1eVz For example, • Asexual and Sexual Reproduction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcGDUcGjcyk Ask a Biologist: provides activities, stories, images, links. https://askabiologist.asu.edu/ See specifically, “The Microbes.

Of limited use, wordy, and parts are not working. http://virtuallaboratory.colorado.edu/virtuallabs.htm Also, a series of videos here, many are student projects. The few I looked at weren’t terribly exciting or were silly. http://klymkowskylab.colorado.edu/Learning-Videos.htm BioInteractive (HHMI) https://www.biointeractive.org/classroom-resources/ Bioliteracy Project http://bioliteracy.colorado.edu/ Biology Labs Online: Dennis Anderson, Oklahoma City Community College, includes modules for Measurement, Scientific Method, Organic Molecules, Cells and Membranes, Respiration, Cell Cycle, Genetics, DNA, Electrophoresis, Plant, Evolution, Animals http://occc.edu/biologylabs/index.htm BioQuest Pulications/References https://bioquest.org/publications/ Investigative Case-Based Learning https://bioquest.org/icbl/cases.php http://www.caseitproject.org/ BioQuest https://bioquest.org/projects/ BioQuest contributions by individual collaborators Brian White – whole bunch of electronic projects listed (genetics, phylogenetics, proteins) (likely beyond 111L) http://intro.bio.umb.edu/BW/ BSCS Science Learning. Variety of topics directed to varying audiences but among them are those on food (photosynthesis and cellular resp – lot of potential including videos and simulations proved through OpenSciEd; digestive system within the context of a medical mystery). https://bscs.org/resources/educator-resource-center/ CancerQuest Animations, Videos, Educator Resources, Games, Quizzes https://www.cancerquest.org/education-center/videos/cancer-biology-animations Cells Alive (see site map) https://www.cellsalive.com/ (e.g. Animal Cell Mitosis) https://www.cellsalive.com/mitosis_js.htm Classical Genetics Simulator http://cgslab.com/ Some limitations unless you establish/pay for an account CourseSource (https://www.coursesource.org/) evidence-based teaching resources for UG biology education. See in particular, Using the Cell Engineer/Detective Approach to explore cell structure and 2 function https://www.coursesource.org/courses/using-the-cell-engineerdetective-approach-to-explore- cell-structure-and-function DNA Learning Center/Resources (including websites, biology animations, videos) https://dnalc.cshl.edu/resources/animations/# DNA from the Beginning: an animated primer of 75 experiments that made modern genetics http://www.dnaftb.org/#classical Genetic Science Learning Center Learn.Genetics.utah.edu https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/ • Observable Human Characteristics https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/basics/observable/ • Mitosis, Meiosis and Fertilization https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/basics/diagnose/ • Protein Synthesis - How a Firefly’s tail makes light NICE link between DNA, mRNA, ribosomes, proteins https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/basics/firefly/ • Many potential resources from a variety of main menu items: Genetics (Basics, Genetic Science and Society), Amazing Cells, Metabolism (from food to fuel), Plants (and pollinators) Ecology (the human microbiome), Neuroscience (sensory systems), Science Tools (virtual labs) LabXchange: A collaboration between Harvard and Amgen. Biotech and cell biology focus. https://www.labxchange.org/explore MERLOT learning object repository https://www.merlot.org/merlot/materials.htm?materialType=9&sort.property=overallRating Mocomi.com while designed for ages 4-14 has many videos and animations in core subjects. Could be source of “simple” language to describe “complex” concepts (microorganisms and antibiotics; cell comparisons, DNA, cloning, 5 senses. https://mocomi.com/ The Morpho Institute. Focus is on Conservation Education, particularly sustainability and Conservation of the Amazon. Pdfs provide links to some outstanding sites including the UN Environment Programme with display of Environmental Change Hotspots; Atlas of Our Changing Environment and Emerging Issues and Alerts. Biodiversity Visualizations. OUTSTANDING resources here!

CO, Boulder. Although I could not get all of these to work. Some appear interesting including Eating & Exercise. Most deal with physics https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/category/biology 3 OpenSciEd (video and simulation libraries – all open source!). An excellent source of video (student and teach prep examples) and simulations that accompany BSCS units. Those on Matter Cycling & Photosynthesis; simulation that show endoscopy of digestive system have much potential. https://www.openscied.org/video-library/ OER Commons, Open Educational Resources https://www.oercommons.org/ EXCELLENT – Many materials here Pathogen Tracker, the Game. Initial identification of the responsible bacterium causing a foodborne pathogen, particular food responsible and location of source of contaminated food. Lovers of Romaine in CA likely to enjoy! Looks like fun. Comes out of Cornell Pathways (lessons, Activities and videos on basic biomedical science grades 6-12) Scholastic and NIH National Institute of General Medical Sciences. The focus is on science of sleep but check out the interactive on the Science of Sleep – interesting concept that might be useful. http://www.scholastic.com/pathways/ ScienceMan Biology Links http://scienceman.com/legacypgs/00_links_biology.html ScienceMan YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzGPcIJOXX_iBgZpMsOQPww Scientific Method Simulator with Crickets https://webapp.gccaz.edu/academic/biology/scientific_method/ SciJinks by NOAA. Limited value unless it relates to weather and climate. E.g.

What is lurking in your fast food? Although we already do this in nearly the same way, examine the instructional video and also student support materials where objectives are to (1) Analyze various food items that may be found in fast food using chemical tests to discover which of the major biolmolecules they contain. (2) examine the link between fast food consumption, obesity and other health conditions. (3) Propose solutions for healthier fast food choices. The lesson titled “Beating Mosquitos at their own Game” that looks at genetic engineering issues could also be a possibility. http://tgreduexplore.org/curriculum UCSB ScienceLine https://scienceline.ucsb.edu/links/links.php
