Students will learn about the water cycle, watersheds, and point and non-point source pollution. Students will then apply this knowledge to take a position in the debate about the proposed development at Hawn's Bridge Peninsula at Raystown Lake and write a letter to the editor expressing their opinion. Pairs well with an Engineering Design Challenge or a Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE).

To provide instruction and dialog on practical ethical issues relating to the responsible conduct of human and animal research in the brain and cognitive sciences. Specific emphasis will be placed on topics relevant to young researchers including data handling, animal and human subjects, misconduct, mentoring, intellectual property, and publication.

This webinar addresses questions related to writing, reviewing, editing, or funding a study using the Registered Report format, featuring Chris Chambers and ...

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Understanding tumor metastasis mechanisms and the interactions between cell types in the tumor microenvironment can help researchers identify treatment targets. Recently, a team of researchers examined the interaction between colorectal cancer cells and fibroblasts. IL-1α is a signaling protein that in other systems and cancers has both pro- and anti-metastasis effects. Here, the two highly metastatic colorectal cancer cell lines expressed IL-1α, while the less metastatic lines and fibroblasts did not. Increasing the abundance of IL-1α increased the expression of another signaling protein, CXCL12, in fibroblasts. This worked by either adding IL-1α directly or co-culturing fibroblasts with IL-1α-expressing cancer cells. Increasing the abundance of CXCL12, either directly or via co-culture, increased invasiveness of colorectal cancer cells and promoted angiogenesis..."

Middle and High School educators across Lebanon County, Pennsylvania developed lesson plans to integrate the Pennsylvania Career Education and Work Standards with the content they teach. This work was made possible through a partnership between the South Central PA Workforce Investment Board (SCPa Works) and Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13 (IU13) and was funded by a Teacher in the Workplace Grant Award from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry. This lesson plan was developed by one of the talented educators who participated in this project during the 2019-2020 school year.

A rubric in student language written for elementary and middle school students to self-assess reports.

In this learning area, you will find step-by-step support for writing a research paper (a paper with source material) for your college courses. In Research, the Excelsior OWL will help you as you begin to write your paper, pick a topic, conduct research for articles and books, draft your work, integrate your research, and revise and edit your finished paper.

A checklist used by elementary students to reflect on their research skills and processes.

Research Indices are the indicators of the credibility and recognition of a researcher, a journal, an article and/or and institute. These include Impact Factor, immediacy Index, h-index etc. Researchers and students must know about these indices for better recognition in the academia and research. In the first part of the series we are discussing Impact Factor as a vital research Index.
Impact factor (IF) is the most Important basis of selection of journal by the researchers and readers. Its a a measure of the reputation of a journal. IF is a measure of the frequency with which the "average article" in a journal has been cited in a particular year.
The OER shall cover how (IF is calculated), Who (provides the IF), on which factors IF depends upon, The importance of IF in academic recognition and knowing the IF of journal.

A checklist used by elementary students to reflect on conducting an interview for research purposes.

Related lesson plans are also available for download and adaptation in the Guttman Community College OER collection in the CUNY Academic Works institutional repository.
