Reflection Paper In Biology
The document is a reflection on a biology student's experience taking a biology class in their freshman year of high school. The student discusses how they always struggled in biology and had forgotten they had a test that day. They tried frantically to study their notes in the few minutes before the test but did not feel prepared. The test had 30 multiple choice questions and the student felt very nervous, as they barely studied and the classroom was cold.
Essay About Biology Lab
This document summarizes an IB SL Biology lab report on transforming E. coli bacteria with a plasmid containing GFP and using gel electrophoresis to separate DNA fragments. The aim was to engineer E. coli to glow green under UV light and use gel electrophoresis to separate DNA based on size. The hypothesis was that transformed E. coli would be resistant to ampicillin and glow green, and gel electrophoresis would separate DNA by fragment size with smaller fragments traveling farther. The document outlines the lab procedure and variables tested.

eBrary searching
Searching ebrary requires using the advanced search features to input search terms or subjects into multiple search boxes, as the default search looks broadly across text and key fields. Searching by title, author, or subject will provide the most useful results, and terms can be combined across boxes or limited further by subjects. However, searches may become too specific and only return a single remaining resource.
AASL Fall Forum 12 Jansen
This document discusses how school librarians can help connect students' informal learning experiences in participatory culture to formal education. It mentions librarians participating with teachers to help students learn skills across platforms and media. It also discusses ensuring all students have access to skills for full participation in society. The document contains photos and references collaborating on projects and assessing student work.
Ebrary setup
The document discusses the history and current state of the conflict between Israel and Palestine over land rights in the region. It notes that both groups claim historical and religious ties to the land, and that there have been numerous attempts at negotiations and peace agreements over decades but the core issues of borders, settlements, security, and the status of Jerusalem and Palestinian refugees have remained unresolved. The ongoing disputes over land and political control have led to repeated outbreaks of violence and neither side has been willing to make the compromises needed to reach a final peace agreement.
Inserting footnotes in Word and Google Docs
To insert footnotes in Microsoft Word, select the "References" tab and click "Insert Footnote" where you want the footnote marker. Word will automatically number footnotes in superscript. Footnotes are typed at the bottom of the page in single spacing, but the footnote section should be double spaced. In Google Docs, use "Insert > Footnote" which places a number where the cursor is and a box for the footnote text. Footnotes in Google Docs will properly convert when downloading the document as a Word file.
Asking good questions
This document discusses how to write effective research papers by focusing on essential questions rather than just reporting facts. It emphasizes that research papers should be based on new ideas and synthesis, not just summarizing other work. Effective research questions are higher-order and lead to discovery rather than simple coverage of information. They generate multiple perspectives and interpretations instead of single answers. Examples of good research questions are provided that are thought-provoking and lead to further interest in the topic.
Needed Competencies
The document summarizes a discussion on the skills students will need in the future. Participants emphasized that students will need strong critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills to analyze information from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. They will also need to be adaptable to changing technologies and able to focus in distracting environments. Being organized, resilient, and able to apply knowledge across different contexts were also highlighted.
Student centered classroom
This document discusses an education project where students worked to save a local beach. It compares this project to more traditional teaching methods. The project took a student-centered approach where students had voice, choice, and participated collaboratively on authentic tasks. In contrast, traditional methods are more teacher-directed where some students participate on isolated facts. This project allowed students to practice skills like critical thinking, analysis, and working in meaningful contexts rather than just memorizing out-of-context learning. It asks teachers to find ways to incorporate relevant content and tools to involve students in a more participative manner.

- 1. Required Summer Reading and Work AP Biology Summer 2010 Required Summer Reading: Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body by Neil Shubin Additional Required Summer Materials: Evolution DVD – be sure to get your set from Mrs. Rasmussen before you leave for the summer. Dear AP Biology Students and Parents: I am delighted that you will be a member of the Advanced Placement Biology class of 2010-2011. I hope you will find joy, challenges and excitement in the study of biology. Advanced Placement Biology is designed to be the equivalent of a two-semester college introductory biology course. This course is usually taken during their first year of college by those students who major in biological sciences. High school students who pass the AP Exam in May are often permitted to take upper-level courses in biology or to register for courses which have first-year college biology as a prerequisite. To get us started, I would like you to read a book that I hope will set the stage for our first topic - evolution. It is a selection that I hope you will enjoy: Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5-Billion- Year History of the Human Body by Neil Shubin. In the book, the author deals with nearly all of the major ideas of organic and biological evolution as he takes the reader on a “journey” from earlier forms of life through the development of Homo sapiens. The DVD on Evolution was produced by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Be sure you pick up your copy before you leave for the summer. Accompanying the DVD will be a set of instructions on what to view in the DVD. Please advise me which e-mail address you would like me to use as a primary contact for the summer. . If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at jrasmussen@sasaustin.org. I will be happy to chat with you and answer any questions. Yours truly, Mrs. Rasmussen
