RWLO Title: Gene Structure
Description: Students can look at the genes on each of the 23 different chromosomes in the human genome.
My Course: Intro Biology
Rationale: meets the DNA structure and human genetics requirements.

I will be assigning this as homework. I will ask the student to locate 4 different syndromes or diseases that have appeared in their family. They will describe the trait and locate it on the chromosome.

RWLO Title: Tracking the common flu and direct effect of flu vaccination
RWLO Address (http://www.ciese.org/pathways/rwlo/science.html

Description: Presentation of facts about: viruses that cause Influenza, past history, real time update on the distribution and epidemiology of Influenza viruses, vaccination status (with statistics). A link is provided in the rwlo about avian flu status, what the consequences of an avian flu epidemics might be, and info about possible treatments are presented in the links provided.

Your Course: (In what course will use the RWLO) Human Biology 1050
Rationale: (What need or requirement does this RWLO meet?) Students will understand how viruses can affect our world. They will get to know what our immune system can do and what it cannot do. The updated status of H5N1 virus development will be investigated.

Setting/Delivery: (How will you implement this RWLO - ex. Online? Lab? Presentation? Group work?, etc. If you plan to modify or adapt this RWLO, please include your ideas.) The students will have to research the resources in order to get updated information to present to the classroom, in order to fulfill their presentation requirements. I would like to link this rwlo to other diseases and their current status, so that each student will have a different topic to discuss. In my blackboard site, I will provide NIH-related links that the students will have to access in order to prepare their presentations.
Why did you choose this RWLO? I chose it because it creates a useful link to implement my current lesson plan.

Category:ScienceRWLO Title: Square of Life
Description: Students will investigate living and non-living objects in their school yard and compare their findings with other schools' findings across the world.
My Course: Third Grade Sciency - studying habitats
Rationale: meets our habitat objectives

I would group students together so they can investigate and discuss their findings with each other.

I chose this RWLO because it allows my students to investigate and analyze their findings. Then they compare their finding with others across the world. Also, they are able to research objects that they found using internet resources.

I was introduced to this site during a tech workshop. I found several of the science RWLOS intriguing and look forward to implementing them in my classes this fall.

Catagory: Biology
RWLO Title: Insights into the Brain
Description: Students can look at various videos about Brain Structure and function
My Course: Anatomy and Physiology
Rationale: Gives students real world information about brain function as well as 3D video imaging of brain structure

I will assign this as a pre-lecture introduction homework. I think the variety of videos offers something to spark a variety of interests and gives a nice introduction to the brain and nervous system

RWLO Title: Human Genetics and the Dominant Trait

Description: Students can test the hypothesis that dominant traits are more frequent in the population by observing common human traits and generating class data. The hypothesis can be tested by using the data posted on the website.

Your Course: General Biology I (college-level introductory course for biology majors)

Rationale: I will be using this RWLO for two purposes. One is to introduce the scientific method and data analysis. The second purpose is to address a common misconception that dominant traits occur more frequently in a population.

This will be presented during a class session on the scientific method.

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost
a pretty penny? I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos
