Expression And Isolation Of The Bche Protein From Dinoroseobacter Shibae In Rhodobacter Capsulatus, Abigail Brown, David Bollivar, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Photosynthetic bacteria rely on photosynthesis to get energy. Bacteriochlorophylls harvest the light energy in photosynthesis and are important to these bacteria, but several enzymes used to synthesize this macromolecule are not completely understood. The gene bchE, from the marine bacterium Dinoroseobacter shibae, has been proposed to code for a protein used to help catalyze the formation of the bacteriochlorophyll structure. Isolation of polypeptide encoded by the bchE gene was performed to better understand this enzyme. Using conjugation, ST18 E. coli cells with plasmids containing the bchE gene were mated with a Rhodobacter capsulatus strain lacking functional BchE to …

Phage For Thought: Investigating The Ingestion And Assimilation Of Viruses Into Rotifer (Brachionus Plicatilis) Tissues, Brittany Straznickas, William Jaeckle, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Rotifers are a group of suspension-feeding aquatic invertebrate animals that range from approximately 50–2,000 micrometers in size. The typical food sources for rotifers (i.e., unicellular algae, 2-10 micrometers in diameter) are visible with light microscopy. Bacteriophages (viruses that use bacteria as hosts) are too small (30-110 nanometers in diameter) to be seen using light microscopy, but are present in great abundance (~ 1030 in the world’s oceans). If or how particles as small as bacteriophages are consumed as food is incompletely known; Sorenson ('15) reported that rotifers ingest water containing the fluorescently-labeled (Dichlorotriazinylamino fluorescein, DTAF) bacteriophages. We exposed the …

Fostering Engagement In A Middle School Classroom, Lauren Mcanally, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
The purpose of this qualitative study is to investigate how to properly implement and create a classroom that fosters engagement. This study looks at the practices, strategies, roles, and relationships that are necessary in order to fully engage all students in the classroom. During the course of this research, engagement is found to be a very broad term. In this study, engagement is defined as students synthesizing information in student-directed learning environments where they are physically and mentally involved (Edwards, 2015; Trowler, 2010). The hope of this study is to emphasize the need for educators to understand the meaning of …

Using Strategies To Promote Students’ Critical Thinking Abilities, Kellie Pilalis, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Teachers are helping prepare students for the future by implementing critical thinking strategies daily in the classroom. Taylor and Peterson (2012), Duesbery (2015), and D’Angelo (1978) showed evidence that students’ reading scores consistently grew, their thoughts, questions, and ability to make connections, and their understanding for how to form critical thinking questions increased. In this qualitative self-study, I discuss different strategies to promote and increase critical thinking abilities in the classroom. Specifically, I focus on achievement and improvements in English Language Arts (ELA). I collected and analyzed data from field notes, pre- and post- self-assessments, and classroom observations. Relating to …

Making Academic Language Accessible For English Language Learners, Frank Toland, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
One of the most troubling aspects of school for English Language Learners (ELLs) is academic language. Dicerbo, Anstrom, Baker and Rivera (2014) define academic language as "the language used in school to help students acquire and use knowledge" (452). As the academic rigor increases and content knowledge becomes more important than language development, ELL’s academic language falls further behind resulting in high dropout rates. The purpose of this research is to find ways in which teachers can help ELLs adjust to academic language. This literature review highlights ELL student backgrounds, the standards and assessments used for ELLs, teacher and ELL …

One-To-One Computers In The Classroom: One Size Fits All?, Anna Oliveri, Leah Nillas, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
Students today are considered to be “Digital Natives,” as they are growing up in a technologically rich environment (Prensky, 2010). However, not all children have equal access to technology in and out of the classroom, thus creating the potential for pervasive inequality. This study investigates the role of one-to-one computing implementation in students’ learning experiences and equity and autonomy for students from low-income homes. Four sources of data were collected from twenty-six fifth grade students from primarily low-income homes: field notes, student work samples, student surveys and lesson plans. One-to-one computing enhanced engagement, collaboration, and autonomy and heightened students’ overall …
