Jennifer Hackett Releases New College Workbook
Ms. Hackett's text, Molecular Biology Concepts for Inquiry: The Exploration Workbook, includes inquiry activities to help students explore evidence through logic to construct an understanding of concepts and eliminate misconceptions.
Inquiry activities include:
- Introductory Biochemistry
- How proteins contribute to modes of inheritance
- The structure and function of fluorescent proteins
- The conceptual basis of PCR
- The function of restriction enzymes and their use in engineering
- Epigenetic inheritance in imprinted diseases
- Analysis of the genetics of cancer
- And the design of a CRISPR RNA to cure a genetic disease
These activities are intended to be conducted in a classroom where an instructor periodically guides student thinking in small groups and leads class discussions of key concepts following activities. A subset of the class activities focuses on pre- or post-experiment analyses that could either stand alone or could be used as a conceptual framework around which experiments could be conducted.
