Third Annual BeeSpace Workshop, May 21-22, Third Annual BeeSpace Workshop, May 21-22, Unpacking the Puzzle

Third Annual BeeSpace Workshop, May 21-22, Integrative Learning "connecting skills and knowledge from multiple sources and experiences; applying skills and practices in various settings; utilizing diverse and even contradictory points of view; and, understanding issues and positions contextually." Huber, Hutchings, & Gale, Integrative Learning for Liberal Education (2005) "Relate the school to life, and all studies are of necessity correlated." John Dewey, The School and Society (1900) No "gap in kind (as distinct from degree) between the child's experience and the various forms of subject-matter." Dewey, The Child and Curriculum (1902)

Third Annual BeeSpace Workshop, May 21-22, Education Resources Bee Biology  Booklet by high school biology teacher (D. Stone)  Video of talk by G. Robinson, with question set  Video footage of bee behaviors Bee Research  Video tour of Bee Lab  Links to Honey Bee Genome materials BeeSpace Research (molecular basis of social behaviors)  Video: caring for the BeeSpace bees (K. Pruiett)  ‘Anatomy of a BeeSpace Experiment’ (D. Stone)  Videos: researchers at work (M. Sarma, A. Boardmann, S. Liang, R. Velarde) Bees In the Classroom  ‘Bioinformatics for Beginners’ freshman seminar (S. Fahrbach)  Middle school visits with bee researchers (G. Robinson, N. Ismail)  Video: teacher education activities with bees (S. Fahrbach) Software Support  Training for researchers using BeeSpace software – in-house, lab visits, online help

Third Annual BeeSpace Workshop, May 21-22, ‘Bioinformatics for First-year seminar taught by S. Fahrbach in Fall 2006 Classes 1x/wk. for 150 minutes  Students introduced to bioinformatics via “nature vs. nurture” issue and BeeSpace Navigator  Students build skills and display mastery by developing new BeeSpace educational materials for younger students Special features  Session with science librarian to create online resource page  Field trip to research apiary  Videoconference with Bruce Schatz  Access to online BeeSpace educational resources  Use of NCBI tools and resources  Presentation of final projects to BeeSpace PI’s via teleconference

Third Annual BeeSpace Workshop, May 21-22, Student Projects Projects were required to conform to the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. Projects required a “deliverable” for use in the classroom and an accompanying teacher’s manual. Materials are ready for use Summer 2007, and will be broadly accessible via the BeeSpace website. Students created: a board game (BeeLand), a Jeopardy game, a web site, several PowerPoint presentations, and rules for a game to be played outdoors.

Third Annual BeeSpace Workshop, May 21-22, Successes/Challenges of Introduced to bioinformatics concepts, challenges of effective search, modern formulations of nature/nurture in human behavior Embraced learning-by-teaching, worked effectively in groups to complete projects Interacted directly with researchers Proved resistant to idea of gene x environment interactions Sometimes distracted by minor technical glitches (delays getting BLAST results, printer failures, videoconferencing problems) Busy student schedules and low proportion of intended science majors precluded student transition to active participation in outreach

Third Annual BeeSpace Workshop, May 21-22, Next Steps BeeSpace summer education meeting June 14 – visitors welcome Additional education resources coming to project website Summer intensive for small group of early high schoolers coming in early August, to explore and model BeeSpace research through learner-led inquiry – planning 20 hours of instruction for 6-8 students Assessing outcomes and challenges of connecting middle school- age through undergraduate learners with leading-edge research First-Year Seminar at Wake Forest to be offered again in Fall 2007 and Fall 2008 – BeeSpace volunteers are needed for videoconferences in Fall 2007
