ORGANISMS AS INDICATORS OF ECOSYSTEM HEALTH

Kit #555S — Developed by SEPUP

Students examine simulated samples of aquatic macroinvertebrates from the same
river collected at three different points in time . They calculate the relative proportion of
macroinvertebrates that are intolerant to pollution compared with the total catch . These
proportions are an indicator of water quality . They then identify patterns in the data and
construct arguments for possible cause-and-effect relationships .

Accommodates unlimited classes, each with eight groups of students.

GENES, PROTEINS, TRAITS,
MUTATIONS, AND LIVESTOCK
Kit #607AS — Developed by SEPUP
This kit introduces the concept that a gene encodes for a protein with
a specific structure and function in the cell and that protein function
manifests as observable traits . In Part 1, students build physical models as
they explore how a gene’s DNA sequence codes for a protein sequence and
how the protein sequence determines the protein structure and function . In
Part 2, students begin with an introduction TO different types of mutations -
deletions, additions, and substitutions - and concludes when students apply
their knowledge by explaining cause-and-effect relationships between gene
sequence, protein function, gene mutations, and the health and productivity
of livestock .” Add hyphen after “substitutions” for consistency .
Accommodates unlimited classes with 8 groups of students.
