  Exemplary Education Transfer Plans

Each IISME Fellow creates an Education Transfer Plan (ETP) to help bring the Fellow’s experience back to the students.  These are peer reviewed pieces of exemplary curriculum and are available online for all educators to utilize.  All activities, handouts, teacher notes, and assessment pieces for each ETP can be downloaded and modified to suit the specific needs of your classroom.  The possibilities are endless! Check it out! 

Explore the many pieces of exemplary curriculum designed by IISME Fellows at the IISME Community Website!  http://community.iisme.org 

Below, please find six sample Fellowship positions and the exemplary Education Transfer Plans that were developed as a result.  

Chemistry – Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Summer Fellowship 
Project Description:
 Advanced Light Source Fellow - Work with the Advanced Light Source (ALS) infrared spectroscopy group and learn Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopy and assist with one of several on-going projects. These may include technique development pushing towards increased spatial resolution or greater speed in acquiring infrared images, testing new spectroscopy equipment, developing ATR-enhanced imaging, and/or assisting with current scientific measurements.

ETP 
Title: Infrared Spectroscopy - an application for learning about Chemical Bonding
Grades:  10, 11, 12
ETP Abstract: This ETP will teach students about chemical bonding through a real world application of Infrared Spectroscopy and trace forensic evidence.  Students will learn about how to correlate infrared absorbance peaks to specific types of chemical bonds and how that can be used to identify molecular structure of unknowns.

Physical Science - Stanford  
Summer Fellowship
 Project Description: Beetz Research Lab - This pilot project seeks to develop several short learning modules that introduce concepts and applications of nanotechnology and nanoscience to several target audiences. Modules will be designed to incorporate the research performed at the Center for Probing the Nanoscale. Ready-to-use lessons and activities will be distributed to local schools and incorporated into CPN’s Workshop for Middle School Teachers. Go to http://teachers.stanford.edu/ and click on Activities

ETP Title: Integrating Nanoscience into a Standards-Based Curriculum
Grades:  3, 5, 8
ETP Abstract: Nanoscience and nanotechnology (dealing with objects and phenomena less than 100 nanometers) are fast-growing fields of science, and they are beginning to be more and more visible to students. This education transfer plan (ETP) will help teachers incorporate activities into their curriculum that demonstrate aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnologies.

Physics/Math – Santa Clara University
Summer Fellowship
 Project Description: Solar Decathlon Project – The Fellow will help with the Santa Clara University (SCU) 2009 Solar Decathlon project. Opportunities include: PV analysis and implementation, solar thermal analysis, phase change material implemented for energy storage, environmental sensing and control systems analysis and design, "green" building material options exploration, sustainability index development, manufacturing process for wall panels made from rice straw and biogas digestate, minimized energy usage for appliances.

ETP Title: Geometry through a Sundial Part 1 and 2
ETP Abstract: The purpose of this project is to introduce students to basic sundial construction and the math behind the sundial's operation. Students frequently go through their Geometry class doing exercises but having no hands on practical illustration of the concepts.  This project is intended to apply the principles of circles, circumference and vertical angles in a manner that students will remember.
Grades:  10

Biology – Life Technologies
Summer Fellowship 
Project Description: Research Scientist - The goal of the project will be to set up single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels for bacterial identification; we will develop a solution for accurate typing and identification of bacterial samples. The Teacher will learn how to isolate DNA from samples, conduct PCR amplification and oligonucleotide ligation assays to amplify and detect SNPs.

ETP 
Title: Forensic DNA Fingerprint Typing of Bubble Gum Under Desks 
Grades:  High School and Community College
ETP Abstract: The goal of this ETP is to develop a biology lab activity in which students learn the fundamentals of forensic DNA typing by analyzing bubble gum found under a desk to determine who left it there.  Students will participate in DNA extraction protocol, PCR protocol, Gel electrophoresis and analysis protocols which will help them gain a basic understanding of molecular genetics principles underlying DNA fingerprinting. Students will create their own DNA profile (fingerprint) by determining if their genotypes for three Alu alleles at three loci on genes 16, 8, and 19 are homozygous or heterozygous.

Biotechnology – LBNL, JGI
Summer Fellowship 
Project Description: Cloning Technology Group Fellow - JGI is a DNA production facility and the Sequencing Department is at the heart of its operations. The department's activities follow the DNA from library creation, through sequencing prep, to capillary sequencing and analysis. As genomics is a rapidly changing field, the department constantly adapts to take best advantage of new developments in technology.

ETP Title: Natural Selection Activity with Introduced Mutations
Grades:  9, 10, 11, 12
ETP Abstract:  This Lab Activity engages students in a simulation of natural selection with the introduction of a mutation.  A predator- prey scenario where mutations are introduced into the population. One mutation enhances the ability of the predator to catch its prey, the other hinders it.  It is at this point that students will utilize a DNA gel to discover which mutation, if any, has occurred in their predator.  Students will show their ability to interpret a DNA sequence into mRNA and then amino acids.  Students will then identify the type of mutation, insertion, deletion or substitution of a base.  Over subsequent generations, a shift in the allele frequency for or against the mutation will occur.  Students visualize the factors that influence changes in a gene pool of a population, eventually leading to evolutionary changes.

Technology - Stanford
Summer Fellowship Project Description: Huang Research Lab Fellow - There are a variety of projects that the teacher can work on (for a list of projects: www.wgln.org/projects) that range from interactive multimedia and 3D materials, biomechanical analysis for sports science (biology + physics and math), virtual worlds, and collaborative design. They will begin the Fellowship by learning how each of the technologies work and shown examples of how they are being used in each project, then they will pick 3 content areas to develop activities for.

ETP Title: Learner Generated Podcasting
Grade(s): High School
ETP Abstract: This ETP is a framework that enables students to create biweekly podcasts for distribution to their peers and other members of the school community, e.g. parents, faculty, and administration.
