Investigating Chemistry through Inquiry.<br />

Under a Microscope: Prepare Students for the 21st<br />

Century Using STEM Initiatives<br />

(Bio)<br />

(Grades 7–12)<br />

130, Convention Center<br />

Sponsor: Science Kit<br />

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 />

133, Convention Center<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 />

Angela White, Carolina Biological Supply Co., Burlington,<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 />
