Henrietta Lacks- an "Interrupted" Case Study using the Radiolab Podcast
This podcast is the extraordinary story of Henrietta Lacks. Though she died of cervical cancer in 1951, she unknowingly held the key to unlocking medical advancements (from polio vaccines to chemotherapy drugs) in her tumor cells. After taking a biopsy of Henrietta's cervical cancer, researcher Dr. George Gey discovered that Henrietta's cells could not only reproduce, but THRIVE outside the body--a breakthrough that would change modern medicine. Later, it was found that Henrietta's cells were ev

Modeling Predator-Prey Relationships Under Changing Environmental Conditions
Students will reflect on predator-prey relationships in a changing environment. Then create a sequence of 3 models showing adaptions for survival between the predator and prey species, changes to the environments and the affects on each population. The models can be used in a classroom gallery and evaluated by students.

HAIRY SCARY - A DESIGN BRIEF
This challenge was crafted as an application activity for a unit on microscope study or as a research/problem-solving quest with a forensic twist focusing on the structure of different kinds of hair. It should be noted that students may not find irrefutable evidence in this forensic investigation. It is for this reason that a variety of interpretations may be valid and should be accepted so long as these contentions are supported by data.
