360Science™: Understanding Evolutionary Relationships

360Science™ blends the best of student-engaging digital content with easily adaptable hands-on labs to offer your students a uniquely comprehensive learning experience.

In this lab experience, students will become familiar with bioinformatics; the interdisciplinary field of science that integrates biology, computer science, software tools, databases, information engineering, mathematics, and statistics. They will explore the National Center for Biotechnology Information Website and utilize BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool). The conservation of the enzyme cytochrome C and its presence in thirteen eukaryotic organisms will be determined. Editable, differentiated instructions range from a time-sensitive prescriptive lab to full open inquiry, and robust online videos and content—including a virtual reality (VR) simulation—help students prepare for and better understand the labs they’re conducting.

360Science™: Cancer and the Loss of Cell Cycle Control

360Science™ blends the best of student-engaging digital content with easily adaptable hands-on labs to offer your students a uniquely comprehensive learning experience.

In this lab experience, students explore the consequences of uncontrolled cell division. They will explore how scientists use karyotyping to detect chromosomal errors associated with cancer and other diseases. Students assemble a paper karyotype with a chromosomal error and compare it to a normal karyotype. Editable, differentiated instructions range from a time-sensitive prescriptive lab to full open inquiry, and robust online videos and content—including a virtual reality (VR) simulation—help students prepare for and better understand the labs they’re conducting.

360Science™: Diffusion and Osmosis

360Science™ blends the best of student-engaging digital content with easily adaptable hands-on labs to offer your students a uniquely comprehensive learning experience.

In this lab experience, in Part I, students investigate diffusion of ions into a model cell using dilute hydrochloric acid solution and agar blocks containing phenolphthalein, an acid–base indicator. In Part II, students construct model cells using dialysis tubing to enclose sample solutions containing water, sodium chloride, glucose, sucrose or albumin. The ability of various substances to diffuse across a semipermeable dialysis membrane is investigated by measuring the net direction of osmosis for five different pairs of solutions representing model cells and the surrounding cytoplasm, respectively. Editable, differentiated instructions range from a time-sensitive prescriptive lab to full open inquiry, and robust online videos and content—including a virtual reality (VR) simulation—help students prepare for and better understand the labs they’re conducting.

360Science™: Water Potential

360Science™ blends the best of student-engaging digital content with easily adaptable hands-on labs to offer your students a uniquely comprehensive learning experience.

In this lab experience, students make a wet mount of an onion epidermis and observe the epidermal cells when exposed to sodium chloride solution. Students are challenged to determine the concentration of five different sucrose solutions using potatoes. Editable, differentiated instructions range from a time-sensitive prescriptive lab to full open inquiry, and robust online videos and content—including a virtual reality (VR) simulation—help students prepare for and better understand the labs they’re conducting.

360Science™: Environmental Effects on Mitosis

360Science™ blends the best of student-engaging digital content with easily adaptable hands-on labs to offer your students a uniquely comprehensive learning experience.

In this lab experience, students carry out an investigation on how the addition of the auxin indole-3-acetic acid, IAA, impacts the rate of mitosis in an onion plant root. They will get the opportunity to compare onion roots grown with and without this additional IAA hormone. Students will perform a chi-squared analysis on the class results. Editable, differentiated instructions range from a time-sensitive prescriptive lab to full open inquiry, and robust online videos and content—including a virtual reality (VR) simulation—help students prepare for and better understand the labs they’re conducting.

360Science™: Cell Membrane Permeability

360Science™ blends the best of student-engaging digital content with easily adaptable hands-on labs to offer your students a uniquely comprehensive learning experience.

In this lab experience, students carry out an investigation to detect molecule movement across a semipermeable phospholipid membrane using a single-celled eukaryotic organism. Students observe the movement of the pH sensitive vital stain, neutral red, across the phospholipid membranes of yeast cells and determine how high heat impacts this movement. In addition, they will add various basic solutions to the yeast-neutral red suspension to detect movement of molecules across the cell membrane. Editable, differentiated instructions range from a time-sensitive prescriptive lab to full open inquiry, and robust online videos and content—including a virtual reality (VR) simulation—help students prepare for and better understand the labs they’re conducting.

360Science™: Planaria Regeneration

360Science™ blends the best of student-engaging digital content with easily adaptable hands-on labs to offer your students a uniquely comprehensive learning experience.

In this lab experience, students carry out three investigations to observe behavior of planaria. They will further investigate planaria growth and development by examining the ability of this animal to regenerate after the division of its body using three different prescribed cuts on three different specimens. Planaria are required and available separately. Editable, differentiated instructions range from a time-sensitive prescriptive lab to full open inquiry, and robust online videos and content—including a virtual reality (VR) simulation—help students prepare for and better understand the labs they’re conducting.
