From Soap Bubbles To Cell Membranes, Peter Beltramo
From Soap Bubbles To Cell Membranes, Peter Beltramo
Science and Engineering Saturday Seminars
Have you ever blown a soap bubble and wondered - what causes the bubble to be so stable and produces those colorful reflections of light? The answer lies in a class of molecules known as surfactants, and they have remarkable similarities with the molecules that comprise the cell membrane of all living organisms. In this workshop, we will use the analogy of a soap bubble to describe cellular membrane properties such as chemistry, structure, membrane transport, and ion channel formation. The goals of this workshop are to 1) link initially intractable concepts in biology like intracellular transport to the intuitive …

Water has become a vital element in studying heritages, since researchers has realized that heritages are not only about sites per se, but also include multiple elements that reflect human social and cultural development along historical evolution, and water is one of the most important sector to study. To study further maintenance of water systems of cultural heritages, it is necessary to understand the authenticity of water which is decided by interactions between human and water into consideration, and notice different interactions would result in different discussion on further water management and preservation, for water systems have been changed and …

Brain Science = Biology + Engineering, Jennifer Welborn, Guangyu Xu, Morton Sternheim, Chris Emery
Science and Engineering Saturday Seminars
This interdisciplinary (physical and life sciences) seminar exposes participants to cutting edge research at UMASS, Amherst, on cell imaging using a chip which gathers a variety of data on the activities of single cells. Part of the seminar will be a presentation of current research in this area, followed by hands-on activities and a visit to the lab where this research is conducted. Application of this new technology to brain research will be discussed as well as the NGSS standards alignment and classroom applications at various levels and disciplines.

Powers Of Ten: From Meters To Nanometers And Beyond, Rob Snyder
Nanotechnology Teacher Summer Institutes
The goal of this activity is to guide students toward an understanding of nanoscale dimensions by:
-
Making a number of measurements using meter sticks, magnifiers, microscopes and spectrometers so students can make observations and generate their own data.
-
Using scientific notation to compare the measurements they have made with the dimensions of very small structures

Do Crayfish Change Color If Their Environment Changes? A Guided Inquiry Lab for 7th grade Life Science
Background: There is anecdotal evidence from bass fisherman that crayfish are able to change color depending on their surroundings. A (cursory) literature review of this phenomenon showed that no formal research has been done in this area. Students had an additional informal lesson about research funding (or lack thereof) because of this finding.
Students designed and conducted a controlled experiment to see the effect of changing environment color on crayfish color.
ADI was used to quantify a color change.
