This document provides information on best practices for collecting student data after professional development (PD) to evaluate impact. This resource is part of the Professional Development Formative Assessment System (PD-FAS). PD-FAS was created by the Formative Assessment for Advanced Technician...
In the early days of DNA manipulation, DNA fragments were laboriously separated by gravity. In the 1970s, the powerful tool of DNA gel electrophoresis was developed. This process uses electricity to separate DNA fragments by size as they migrate through a gel matrix. This animation from Cold Spring...
This lab activity from the Biotechnology Alliance for Suncoast Biology Educators (BASBE) introduces the methods of RFLP analysis, or DNA fingerprinting, by using gel electrophoresis. Students will learn the role of restriction enzymes in DNA fingerprinting. Required materials, procedure and...
This lab activity from the Biotechnology Alliance for Suncoast Biology Educators (BASBE) provides instructions for conducting a gel electrophoresis lab. Students will try to solve a paternity case with this activity by obtaining a DNA fingerprint from each potential father, the mother and the child....
This 20-page paper from Elizabeth Fennema examines the topic of gender differences in learning mathematics. This paper examines changing beliefs about how women learn math, such as a preference for learning cooperatively, and reviews intervention programs for girls and women. Feminist perspectives...
This 8-page classroom evaluation, authored by Elissa Milto, Chris Rogers, and Merredith Portsmore of Tufts University, addresses gender differences between students in a college introduction to engineering class. As summarized in the abstract, "The aim of this classroom evaluation was to gain a...
This 10-page literature review, provided by Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, covers studies of gender differences in learning math, science, and technology. The possibility that female students think and learn differently as well as interact with equipment differently from boys...
This 5-page article, written by Donna Milgram of the National Institute for Women in Trades, Technology & Science, explores the gender differences in teaching science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). "There are gender differences in learning styles specific to science, math, engineering...
These PowerPoint slides, provided by Michigan Technological University, detail gender differences in spatial skills. At Michigan Technological University, several studies were undertaken to develop a course on spatial skills and track success. It was determined that the course had a significant...
This presentation from Sheryl A. Sorby of Michigan Technological University discusses gender differences in spatial reasoning skills, and the effects of these differences on success and retention in engineering programs. Sorby asks the question: If spatial skills are critical to success in...
