Development Team  

http://www.biology.com/learning/biomembrane2/intro.html

In this BioCoach activity, students can review how regions of membrane pinch inward or bud outward to allow materials to move through cells; how membranes mediate the communication of signals; and how specialized membrane regions bind different cells into tissues.

DNA Fingerprinting DNA Fingerprints, RFLPs, Slot Blots -- these are all variants of the poweful new technology that has revolutionized forensic science: DNA testing. From identifying the remains of American soldiers, to deciding paternity cases, to elminating -- and often convicting -- criminal suspects, DNA testing has become a powerful new weapon in the lawyer's arsenal. First developed in England in 1985, DNA testing takes advantage of the fact that, with the exception of identical twins, the genetic material -- DNA -- of each person is unique. When the National Research Council said in a 1992 study that DNA testing was a reliable method to identify criminal suspects, the technology rapidly entered the mainstream court system. Today, it is hard to pick up a daily paper and not find an article reporting on the use of DNA testing in a civil or criminal court case. The two animated tutorials below review the science and applications of DNA testing. To view each, simply click on the tutorial's link, and a new window will open on your screen. When you are finished with the tutorial, close your window and return here, where you can access the additional Internet resources listed below.

Welcome to WebQuests!

Introduce core biological concepts with short single-class period Web exploration activites called WebQuests. Students become engaged in topics such as circulation and respiration as they virtually climb Mt. Everest, for example, or they'll explore plant stimuli by discovering man-eating plants, or explore the fact and fiction of DNA.
