This lesson plan describes our class "Porn Industry". We would focus in the aspect of pornography's influence in teenagers' perspectionl of sexual behaviour. We would like to raise awareness in students of the importance of sexual education and the risks of inadequate porn consumption while improving their English language skills.

Students learn about the skeletal system, what it needs to function, how it changes as we grow, what parts make up the stystem, and what problems affect the system.  The students will then use this knowledge to create a skeleton using the material available to them in the classroom.

This problem-based learning module is designed for occupational therapists with a focus on Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease (LCPD). In this module, you will explore the role of occupational therapy in managing LCPD and developing effective interventions with pediatric clients. The goal is to improve the quality of life for your patient.Objectives:Define Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease (LCPD)Determine how LCPD impacts body functions in pediatric clientsIdentify areas of occupation affected by LCPDIdentify common medical treatments for LCPDAssess the client’s needsDevelop interventions that are supported by evidence and are designed to promote maximum independence in this population

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:

"An international team of biologists has done the seemingly impossible. They’ve revived cell nuclei from a 28,000-year-old frozen woolly mammoth. While the world will have to wait for the first full-blown mammoth resurrection, this could be a big step in that direction. The team’s findings offer researchers hope that ancient DNA, though damaged, could one day be made functional. The research team salvaged the nuclei from the muscle of “Yuka,” a young woolly mammoth well preserved in Siberian permafrost since the last ice age. They then transplanted them into mouse egg cells. This process, called somatic cell nuclear transfer, is the same one used to clone animals like Dolly the sheep. But unlike for Dolly, the development of those nuclei stopped short of cell division. After the transfer, researchers observed filling of the transplanted nuclei with mouse proteins—namely, histone and tubulin— and the formation of a new nucleus-like structure..."

"The inside of a cell is abuzz with activity… including constant shipments of proteins in membrane-bounded vesicles. Antibodies headed out to the bloodstream to fight disease; enzymes destined for lysosomes to break down and recycle cellular material . But how do all these vesicular parcels get to the right place? It’s already known that long proteins called golgins serve as addresses for and help capture vesicles heading to the Golgi apparatus, the cell’s central sorting station. But little is known about how they do it. Now, researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the UK have tracked down the parts of the golgins that act as postal codes. To find out which parts of the golgins provide this critical address function, the team relocated the proteins to the mitochondria, then deleted or mutated different sections to see which sequences were critical for capturing vesicles..."

An integrated course stressing the principles of biology. Life processes are examined primarily at the organismal and population levels. Intended for students majoring in biology or for non-majors who wish to take advanced biology courses.

In this edition of "Grey Matters," Aniruddh Patel, of the Neurosciences Institute, discusses what music can teach us about the brain, and what brain science, in turn, can reveal about music. (51 minutes)

Neuroscientist Patricia Churchland explores how the human mind functions in guiding one's decisions. (55 minutes)

Join Stuart Lipton of The Burnham Institute and discover important anti-aging strategies, the latest drugs for degenerative disorders such as AlzheimerŐs disease and the potential use of human stem cells for neurological conditions. (57 minutes)

Research has changed our concepts of brain organization and provided dramatic evidence showing far greater similarities between brains of birds and brains of all mammals. Harvey Karten explores what goes on inside a birdŐs brain. Learn how brains of birds compare to those of humans and other mammals and find out what the study of birdŐs brains can teach us about the nature and origins of human brains. (57 minutes)

This activity (explanation game) is used to help propose ways to reduce or prevent health problems within the cardiovascular system.

"Our genome is a lot like a book. When cells need information critical to their function, they must physically crack the genome open to arrive at the right chapter, or gene sequence. Often, the relevance of details from chapter one isn’t clear until chapter ten. Similarly, non-coding sequences often control the expression of genes far away in linear genomic distance but relatively close in three-dimensional space. Now, a new method of probing these regions could help scientists gain more information from much less starting material—and, in the process, help us learn more about the book of life. The technique is called HiCAR, short for Hi-C on Accessible Regulatory DNA. HiCAR builds off the Hi-C method, which uses high-throughput sequencing to detect how different regions of genomic DNA interact with each other. Specifically, HiCAR targets the regions of chromatin that are open and accessible to proteins with information about gene regulation..."

Play a game and find out about a Nobel Prize awarded discovery or work! In this game you have to blood type each patient and give them a blood transfusion. Are you able to do that? If not, maybe you should read the introduction to blood typing before you start, otherwise you will put the patients' lives in danger!

The University of Iowa Center for Global and Regional Environmental Research and College of Education teamed up to develop free eighth grade science curricula on land use and climate science, in response to Iowa’s grade level alignment of the middle school Next Generation Science Standards.

Primary author Dr. Ted Neal, clinical associate professor of science education, led a team of graduate and pre-service teaching students and CGRER scientists to develop the material. They grouped standards, resources and lesson material into six bundles, each designed to engage Iowa’s middle schoolers with local data and information on relevant topics like athletic concussions and agriculture.

These lessons are built on NGSS principles and put learning in the students’ hands with hands-on activities for groups and individuals. Kids will have ample opportunity to get curious, generate questions and lead themselves to answers.

We make thousands of decisions every day: where to go, what to do, when to do it. Join UCSD's William Kristan and discover how neurons, synapses, and chemical input play out in decision making. (57 minutes)

Neurons communicate with each other and relay information to the brain through synapse. Influx of calcium through ion channels acts as a trigger for starting the neurotransmission cascade, which upon reaching action potential, leads to the release of neurotransmitters, propagating the signal from the pre-synaptic membrane to the post-synaptic membrane.
