Prepare your students for success in tomorrow’s fast-paced<br />
science careers with digital science tools that transform<br />
science lessons into STEM lessons. In this workshop, you’ll<br />
learn easy ways to use digital microscopes as part of an integrated<br />
STEM curriculum to explore biology using the latest<br />
technology with real-world lab applications.<br />
Enzymes and Lactose Intolerance<br />
(Bio)<br />
(Grades 6–12)<br />
131, Convention Center<br />
Sponsor: Science Take-Out<br />
Susan Holt (contact@sciencetakeout.com), Science Take-Out,<br />
Pittsford, N.Y.<br />
This hands-on Science Take-Out kit investigates how<br />
enzymes help people with lactose intolerance. Model the<br />
action of the enzyme lactase and conduct tests to determine<br />
whether the enzyme supplement LACTAID® digests lactose.<br />
Then, design and conduct an experiment to determine<br />
if acid interferes with the enzyme in LACTAID.<br />
Science Under Siege Teaching Evolution in a Climate<br />
of Controversy<br />
(Bio)<br />
(Grades 9–12)<br />

Sponsor: Pearson<br />
Kenneth R. Miller, Brown University, Providence, R.I.<br />
Eighty-five years after the Scopes trial, evolution remains a<br />
controversial topic. The nationwide struggle over the place<br />
of evolution in the biology curriculum continues. As lead<br />
witness in the 2005 Dover “Intelligent Design” trial, I will<br />
discuss the continuing controversy and suggest how participants<br />
can deal with it successfully. We will review some<br />
of the commonly held misconceptions about the process as<br />
well as answers to some of the widely used arguments against<br />
evolution. Take home resources to respond to challenges<br />
commonly faced in the classroom and community when<br />
teaching evolution.<br />

SQUID INK-UIRY: Inquiry-based Invertebrate<br />
Anatomy Through Squid Dissection (Bio)<br />
(Grades 9–12)<br />
144, Convention Center<br />
Sponsor: Carolina Biological Supply Co.<br />
Mary Alexander, Carolina Biological Supply Co., Burlington,<br />
N.C.<br />
Use squid to teach animal diversity and address the standards<br />
for life science. Learn morphology and anatomy of the squid<br />
through hands-on guided dissection of the organ systems.<br />
Large specimens provide a clear view of invertebrate anatomy<br />
to observe the relationship between form and function in<br />
the squid.<br />
Forensics for the Biology Laboratory (Bio)<br />
(Grades 9–12)<br />
145, Convention Center<br />
Sponsor: Carolina Biological Supply Co.<br />

N.C.<br />
Take a new approach with traditional biology labs—use<br />
forensics! Perform sample activities from the innovative<br />
Forensics for the Biology Laboratory manual and associated kits.<br />
These inquiry-based, cooperative learning activities offer<br />
real-world applications as students collect forensic evidence<br />
and perform experiments to yield results for the courtroom.<br />
