Extractions: RESEARCH and ACTIVITIES January 1, 2001 - December 31, 2001 Undergraduate Students Vicente Garcia finished his honors thesis research in the Olmstead lab during the spring quarter. His topic was the molecular phylogeny and systematics of the Australian endemic tribe of Solanaceae, the Anthocercideae, which consists of 7 genera and approximately 31 species and is closely related to the tobacco genus, Nicotiana . This research was made possible by collaboration with David Symon at the Adelaide Botanical Garden, who provided virtually all of the plant material. Vicente began his Ph.D. studies at the University of California at Berkeley in the fall of 2001. Graduate Students Paul Beardsley is working on the molecular systematics of the genus Mimulus , determining species-level relationships and redefining the familial placement of this genus and its putative relatives. DNA sequence analysis is showing that Mimulus and other members of the tribe Mimuleae are best placed in a redefined family Phrymaceae rather than the Scrophulariaceae. In addition, Paul is working to estimate the phylogeny of Mimulus section Erythranthe and determine the polarity of pollinator shifts. Paulís work also entails the use of molecular data to help determine taxonomic units in groups of plants that have few morphological characters, and he is examining species-level relationships in a newly recognized radiation of

Extractions: S CIENCE A CTIVITY D ESCRIPTIONS Botany WOLF offers a one day program or individual rotations inviting students to explore unique flora. Through hands-on activities, we hope to make the world of plants exciting and more accessible to students. To draw your class into this subject we have created botany activities calling for creativity and observation skills. Some of these experiments may be the extraction of aspirin from red willow, several levels of keying activities, plant and flower dissection, identification of California medicinal and edible plants, the life of a tree, bark beetle study, mechanisms of seed dispersal, and transpiration. Birds of Prey Students will learn about raptors and their adaptations. Owls, hawks, eagles, and vultures will be studied. We will discuss their relationship with the environment, man, and each other. Students will learn about their physical characteristics, hunting techniques, keen senses, nesting habits, dietary needs, and their unique digestive process. Students will have an opportunity to learn how to identify raptors by their flight profile and wing patterns. Some of our camp sites have nearby raptor nests for students to observe and study. Live Birds of Prey Presentation Several indigenous species of hawks and owls are brought in for this all group seminar. Each animal is described as it is brought around for student viewing. Students will have an opportunity to ask questions and learn about rehabilitation and release of injured animals.

Botanical Garden classes at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill offer classes in these and other activities. Artist and illustrator Ruth Brunstetter will teach two sessions of "Black and White Botanical Illustration" in January and February. One session will meet Saturdays from 1-4:30 p.m. Jan. 23 and 30 and Feb. 6 and 13. The second session will meet Mondays at the same time Jan. 25 and Feb. 1, 8 and 15. Students of all skill levels are welcome in either class. At registration, request a supplies list for either graphite or pen and ink, and bring a drawing lamp to illuminate the winter flora and woody plants that will be your subjects. Fee for either course is $65 for the general public and $55 for Botanical Garden Foundation members. Begin studies indoors and then go outside to enjoy the quiet beauty of the winter landscape during Curator James Ward’s "Winter Botany" class Saturday, Jan. 23 from 9:30 a.m. to noon. Ward will introduce methods and techniques to identify woody plants in winter and discuss their landscape value. Students will have a chance to apply their knowledge when Ward leads a walk through the winter woods. Fee is $15 for the general public and $12 for foundation members.

I feel that is why my courses remain in the top 15 ranking at UniversalClass and elsewhere. I work hard to enable each student the opportunity to learn a great deal, and in a "Fun Learning" way. Using layman terms and incorporating most subjects (History, Math, Language, etc.) more advanced facts are brought forward in each course. Therefore, advancing the student while they learn through FUN! Each course is packed with free online games, free movies, music, printouts, activities, experiments, and much more! We have found this enables the student to retain more information for longer periods of time.
Extractions: ****** From: http://chronicle.com/free/v48/i24/24a02501.htm The key may be a growing movement for peer review of Web sites and online teaching materials By JEFFREY R. YOUNG Don't waste time teaching online or laboring over electronic course enhancements unless you've already climbed to the top of the tenure-and-promotion ladder. Review committees may not take technology work seriously, so stick to traditional academic activities, like publishing journal articles. That's the warning Gary Bradshaw heard from colleagues when he told them about his work on ePsych, an online resource to help introductory psychology students. He already had tenure when he started the online project, but he found out the hard way that the advice was sound. He was twice turned down for a promotion to full professor at Mississippi State University, where he is an associate professor of psychology. (The chairman of the psychology department, Stephen B. Klein, said he could not discuss personnel issues.) Mr. Bradshaw feels that work creating online teaching materials such as sophisticated Web sites or multimedia tools designed to help students slips through the cracks of the three traditional categories used in promotion: teaching, research, and service.

All of these lessons have been tested and proven successful in the classroom. Let me know if they work for you. Have a great lesson plan you'd like to share? Send it to me! I'll try it out and post it here. I'm hoping eventually to have a large library of proven lesson plans here. Email me! To help you find just what you need, I've sorted these lessons in a few different ways: By AGE LEVEL By LESSON TYPE By cross-curricular CONTENT Lesson Plans Sorted by Age Level Most of these lesson plans work with a large age range (with appropriate adjustments in level of sophistication), but I've listed them here in approximate order, from youngest to oldest. These lessons are presented with fairly specific instructions, for the most part, but should not be understood as carved-in-stone methods. Every teacher will have her or his individual slant on these activities.

During the warm weather, encourage kids to head outdoors with some new nature projects. This week, Education World reviews two new books of nature activities that are both educational and fun. Summer is the time to head outdoors, but that doesn't mean learning has to stop. This week, Education World looks at two new books that can provide kids with hours of fun while they learn all about the natural world. If you are looking for a variety of engaging, educational activities that help teach kids about the world around us, you should examine Nature for Fun Projects, by Sally Hewitt. (Copper Beech Books/Millbrook Press) The book is divided into six chapters filled with dozens of projects. Each chapter could be used as a classroom unit, and many of the experiments can stand alone as well. Rivers, Ponds, and Seashore includes projects that teach about flowing water, aquatic plant and animal life, and water birds. Life Cycles covers such topics as growing plants from seed, nutrition, birds' nests, and the life cycle of a butterfly. Most of the activities use commonplace, inexpensive materials. For example, the lesson on animal camouflage in Woods and Meadows uses only cardboard, paint, and scissors.
