Kit

=STEM Kit Challenge=

Welcome 307 Students. We are looking forward to working with you!
307 Wiki Address:  __http://fall2010bsc307.wikispaces.com/STEM+Kit+Challenge__  

At this point only 231 students have access to make wiki page changes. If 307 students need something linked/posted, a 231 students will have to do it. If this becomes too combersome, please email me and I may give additional students wiki access.

Information (and a sample completed project) about this assignment can be found on the Assignments page.

Here is how you are paired up with Mrs. Palmer's 307 methods students. As soon as you know your topic, please enter it here, because we don't want any kits using the same materials or on the same topic.
 * ===231 Students=== || ===307 Students=== || ===Kit Topic=== ||
 * Janelle Czapar & Taylor Farnetti || Abbott, Bagby, & Benjamin || Thermal Imaging ||
 * Richard Kuhnke & Melissa Nolte || Dawson & Doellman || Gel Electrophoresis ||
 * Laura Sedivy & Pat Wagner || Leone & Quinn || Extraction of DNA ||
 * Andrea Rosko & Brock Parrott || Simonson, Weems, & Wisniewski || Bacteria Growth using Spectrophotometer - [|Kit Materials] ||
 * Jill Wojtanowicz & Heather Bartos || Flanagan, Medema, & Monaco || Effect of pH on Umbonium seashells ||
 * Mike Strickley & Amanda Donnelly || Murphy, O'Connor, & Prendergast || Soil and Water Analysis ||
 * Ammanda Wisniewski, Larissa Roy, & Angela Adams || Sandy, Serritella, Sharp, & Kim || Digital Microscope Lab- Flower Growth and Analysis ||

Here is a run down of what tasks each group will do:

231 students
 * Kit Project Idea
 * Budget/Items
 * Teacher lesson plan--overview & purpose, duration & timeline
 * Materials List for the lab--organized into 3 categories
 * Set-up and Safety instructions
 * References
 * Essentially to write this document[[file:Teacher Guide Template.doc]]

307 Students
 * Feedback on teacher lesson plan/project sheet
 * Write lesson objectives
 * All student handouts for the lab, answer keys, data log sheets etc..
 * I have a sample STEM kit handout posted on the Assignments page
 * References (add to if necessary)

307 students, you'll need to go to your group's wiki page (kit topic title takes you there), and then click on the Google links posted by 231 students. Request editing access to these pages, so you can become an editor (you'll need a Google account to do this!). If the lesson plan idea is not clear by these documents, You may need to coordinate either a virtual or face-to-face meeting to clarify how 231 students envisioned the kit materials being used.
 * Coordinating Collaboration between 231 & 307 groups.**

If a 307 student starts their own Google doc, be sure to add the 231 members as editors (and then the 231 student can make a link from the wiki page to the Google doc.)
