Students are shown a series of animations in powerpoint. Each powerpoint slide illustrates a basic concept in reflection and refraction (e.g., Snell's law, Crossover distance, Crossover time, dipping layers, multiple interfaces. As the slides are animated, students see the distance versus time relationships. These slides can be given to students so that they can review the concepts as many times as is necessary. Addresses student misconceptions

Students will create an animation to represent one of the many feedback loops that influences climate change. To create their animation, students will use clay, cut paper, whiteboard or other materials commonly found in the classroom. They will make a storyboard, plan a narration, rehearse their animation and then film their animation with stop-motion photography.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"“All happy families look alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way” – Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina. According to Tolstoy, a healthy home is the result of many factors falling into harmonious order, whereas disharmony is what happens when even one of these factors is out of place. A new study confirms the same principle holds true for the communities of microbes that determine oral health. Researchers mapped microbial DNA from healthy individuals and individuals with one of three forms of gum infection: chronic periodontitis, localized aggressive periodontitis, or generalized aggressive periodontitis. While it’s known that all three forms of periodontitis are microbially derived, the microbial makeup that gives rise to each remains unclear. High-throughput whole genome sequencing revealed that, like Tolstoy's unhappy homes, no two individuals with disease were alike..."
The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

Annotations are short and cannot give detailed information, but they should cover these points: 1. The general contents of the work. What does it discuss and how detailed is it? This is the main portion of the annotation. 2. The author's qualifications. Is the writer a trained scholar? A journalist? Someone relating a personal experience? 3. An evaluation of the reliability. Is the information given reliable? Are facts or opinions stressed? 4. The intended audience. Is it for a general reader or a specialist? How much, if any, background knowledge is needed to understand it? Was is easy or difficult to read?

UniProt is a high quality, comprehensive protein resource. Next to expert curation, one of the core activities at UniProt is to develop computational methods for the functional annotation of protein sequences. In this webinar, we will be introducing our functional annotation system UniFire that can be used by the community to share and run rule-based automatic annotation systems to add functional information to proteins.
Who is this course for? No prior knowledge of bioinformatics is required, but an undergraduate level knowledge of biology would be useful.
Outcomes By the end of the webinar you will be able to:
Outline the types of data available in UniProt Describe the automatic annotation systems used in UniProt Describe the UniFire platform for sharing and utilising UniProt’s automatic annotation systems

During this exercise, students compare a series of satellite images taken 3-4 years apart to investigate the effects of human land use and annotate the images using ImageJ software.

The Ensembl VEP is a powerful tool that allows you to input a list of genetic variants and determines which genes are affected and how. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to use the online VEP tool, which is suitable for analysing short lists of genetic variants, and the offline tool, which allows you to annotate whole genome variant calls.
Who is this course for? This webinar is suitable to any clinical or research scientists who are interested in exploring genetic variants and their effect. In this webinar we will use examples from human clinical data but the VEP tool is available for other species too.
Outcomes By the end of the webinar you will be able to:
Describe the application of VEP Analyse short lists of genetic variants using VEP Annotate variation data
