Coral Reef Nursery Evaluation Presentation
Rating
0.0 stars

Students will be exposed to an engineered solution to the current issue of excessive algae growth that is inhibiting the health of Staghorn and Elkhorn coral populations. Students will then use their knowledge, as well as conduct research, that would allow them to aid in the effort to protect this crucial living element to the oceanic environment. Students will collaborate with their group to apply their knowledge and create an Animoto presentation that consists of at least five slides. This lesson results from the ALEX Resource Gap Project.

Cracking the Code
Rating
0.0 stars

Codes are used to transmit messages. We may use codes to keep our messages secret from people who do not know the code, or we may use them to change one type of information into another. The key to decoding a message is knowing the rule to crack the code. In this lesson, students will explore different types of codes, create coded messages, and apply rules to decode messages. This lesson provides the background needed for students to then develop their own method for transferring information. This lesson results from a collaboration between the Alabama State Department of Education and ASTA.

Cultural History of Technology
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted

Rating
0.0 stars

The subject of this course is the historical process by which the meaning of “technology” has been constructed. Although the word itself is traceable to the ancient Greek root teckhne (meaning art), it did not enter the English language until the 17th century, and did not acquire its current meaning until after World War I. The aim of the course, then, is to explore various sectors of industrializing 19th and 20th century Western society and culture with a view to explaining and assessing the emergence of technology as a pivotal word (and concept) in contemporary (especially Anglo-American) thought and expression.
Note: In the interests of freshness and topicality we regard the STS.464 syllabus as sufficiently flexible to permit some — mostly minor — variations from year to year. One example of a different STS.464 syllabus can be found in STS.464 Technology and the Literary Imagination, Spring 2008.

Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

This is a technology based, hands-on Biology lesson on the types of mutations that can occur during DNA replication. Students will complete a virtual lab on DNA Mutations. Mutations involve a physical change to genetic material that results in the abnormal encoding of protein sequences. The students will complete mRNA and protein sequences based on the information provided. The students will identify the number of amino acids changed and how they think this mutation will impact the organism. This lesson plan results from a collaboration between the Alabama State Department of Education and ASTA.
