These resources, from the Northeast Biomanufacturing Center and Collaborative (NBC2), include information on the standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the batch culture of recombinant E. coli. A 38-page manual includes four SOPs, a protocol, and a batch record; these are also available as...

In this lab activity from the Biotechnology Alliance for Suncoast Biology Educators (BASBE), students will explore photosynthesis, develop a testable hypothesis about the effect of light quality (color) on the rate of photosynthesis of Elodea, and graph measurement data from their testing. The...

In this lab activity from the Biotechnology Alliance for Suncoast Biology Educators (BASBE), students will learn the phases of mitosis and determine the approximate time it takes for plant and animal cells to pass through each of the four stages of mitosis. They do this by counting the number of...

This 1-page learning, activity from the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center (ATEEC), is intended to teach students about the effects of phosphorus and nitrogen on surface water. The activity provides students with a real world application for environmental and marine biology where...

This lecture from the iBioSeminars project is presented by Eva Nogales Molecular Cell Biology Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and it covers Visualizing Biological Structure Using Electron Microscopy: From Molecules to Cells. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) offers the...

In this activity, provided by Digital World Biology, students use free, online biotechnology resources to investigate how well different commercial antibodies might work against SARS-CoV-2 variants. Students will first use NextStrain.org to locate and detect the spike proteins of emerging SARS-CoV-2...

The North Carolina Community College System BioNetwork's interactive eLearning tools (IETs) are reusable chunks of training that can be deployed in a variety of courses or training programs. IETs are designed to enhance, not replace hands-on training. Learners are able to enter a hands-on lab...

This high school or beginning undergraduate level lab demonstration and inquiry activity will introduce students to the process of fermenting cellulosic biomass into cellulosic ethanol, along with the challenges researchers face in this area. The demonstration uses a Vernier probe or balloons to...

This is a demonstration table or interactive activity that GLBRC has done at family-style outreach events such as Science Expeditions at UW-Madison. It appeals to a range of younger children, about ages 5-14 or grades K-8. It is also a useful introduction for more advanced students. Prep time and...
