Series of videos that can be used in an AP Biology Labs class created by Paul Anderson- Bozeman Science

This is a list of 175+ publically available astronomy labs, aligned with chapters from Astronomy by Fraknoi, Morrison, and Wolff (from OpenStax). Alignment determined by list curators, not the lab authors.Resource developed as part of Lane Community College's Astronomy OER project.

Syllabus and lab manual to accompany course using OpenStax Concepts of Biology (https://openstax.org/details/books/concepts-biology).

Course description: Centers on concepts of unity of living organisms including evolution, biochemistry, cell biology (morphology and physiology), genetics and development.

Lab manual begins on p. 11.

This annotated index includes a wide range of free, online labs appropriate for Astro 101 courses, organized by chapter of the OpenStax Astronomy textbook. So, you can look up free labs on Kepler's Laws, H-R diagram, the Drake Equation, and many other topics in introductory astronomy. These lab activities have been put on line by universities, NASA and NSF sponsored projects, and instructors who want to share their labs with colleagues.

If we have missed any labs that are available free online, please suggest additions by emailing fraknoi@fhda.edu

This remote learning lab manual was created to guide students in 200-level introductory/general physics courses toward meeting the first outcome in the science category of the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer Degree:

Gather, comprehend, and communicate scientific and technical information in order to explore ideas, models, and solutions and generate further questions.

The lab design goal was to adapt existing F2F labs (already aligned to AAOT science outcome #1) for a remote learning environment without abandoning the pedagogical advantages provided by combining guided inquiry methods with specialized physics education equipment, such as digital sensors and unique demonstration apparatus. Therefore, many of the labs contain embedded videos of experiments being performed and links to open-access Google spreadsheets containing the data produced by equipment during the experiments. In many cases overlay effects have been added to videos to provide additional experimental parameters, direct students’ attention to important occurrences, or and assist with understanding of the experimental methods. The data in the spreadsheets has been edited to remove irrelevant data (e.g. acceleration data automatically collected by lab software before the release of a moving fan cart).
Students gain experience with well established physics concepts by applying them to create models used to make predictions. The need for assumptions in creating a model is explicitly addressed and students are asked to think critically about the affect of various assumptions on the validity of models in different situations. As in research science, experimental data are analyzed in order to produce results for comparison to prediction. Students are asked to think critically about differences between predictions and results in the context of model assumptions and measurement uncertainty

This lab introduces students to expectations for the rest of the semester. It also allows them to introduce themselves and get to know the rest of their group members.

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:

"Colorectal cancer is an aggressive disease that kills almost 900,000 people each year, but chemotherapy, a common treatment, has toxic side effects and can induce resistance, resulting in treatment failure and relapse. One alternative is to use bacteria to fight cancer directly or to deliver drugs to target tissues. However, many of the bacteria tested so far are pathogenic and therefore carry risks of infection. In a recent study, researchers created an engineered probiotic to treat colorectal cancer orally. They isolated the nontoxic lactic acid bacterium Pediococcus pentosaceus from the Korean food, kimchi, and programmed it to carry P8, a previously identified candidate protein for colorectal cancer treatment. In a mouse colorectal cancer model established with human cancer cells, the engineered probiotic, PP\\*-P8, limited tumor sizes and growth rates. Furthermore, in mice with chemical-induced colitis-associated cancer, the probiotic caused polyp regression and ameliorated gut microbiota disruption..."
