Thread:UCLA sitePost:[|UCLA site] Author:Sara AustinPosted Date:October 20, 2011 7:54 PMStatus:Published The site I found for problem-based biology (and other science) activities is the following: __http://www.nslc.ucla.edu/step/gk12/lessons.htm#Biology/Life%20Science__ This site has a collection of activities, including lab activities, which would be useful in the Biology classroom. I found a great activity on here where students physically re-enact in the classroom the process of replication, transcription, translation - with team DNA, team mRNA, team tRNA and team protein. It looks like a lot of fun and has been designed carefully to be manageable. I also found a lab where students extract their very own DNA from cheek cells - exciting to see one's own DNA. Another activity uses strawberries as a source of DNA for extraction. Activities are sortable by subject area and grade.

Thread:Problem-based Inquiry WebsitePost:[|Problem-based Inquiry Website] Author:Lesley WrightPosted Date:October 20, 2011 2:43 PMStatus:Published __http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/sci_edu/waldron/#enzymes__This website has lots of hands-on activities for Biology. The enzyme ones I would use in SNC 4M under strand D (Nutritional Science). The student pages give some background information, and then an activity where they do one experiment, and then use the same technique on lactose AND sucrose. It has lots of inquiry questions, but doesn't give all the answers away. I would use this as a lab resource in my classroom, for teaching biology or general science. Lots of information, but lots of thought-provoking questions.

Thread:Problem based enquiry website for chemistryPost:[|Problem based enquiry website for chemistry] Author:Rajmeet VirdiPosted Date:October 21, 2011 3:31 AMEdited Date:October 21, 2011 3:32 AMStatus:Published

A wbsite which I found useful for problem based enquiry learning is-

[|problem/inquiry-based **...** - ASDL-Analytical Sciences Digital Library] //[|www.asdlib.org/list.php?mainCategory=8&subCategory=68]// //The emphasis is on making the students learn through problem based enquiry. According to my view, children learn better when they are given the problem in the form of an enquiry as they are inquisitive in nature and the problem given in this way creates interest in them, so they are more determined to solve the problem.//
