2. Positive Impacts
Technology (Using microscopes, looking at the zebrafish on screen)
Watching the stages of development
Lab Tours
Radiation Lab
Biochemistry Lab
Zebra Fish Research

3. Pedagogy of BioEYES Sessions
What I would like to take back to the classroom:
Peer Editing of Science Notebook
Criteria or Rubric for Science Notebook
Post classroom data into Wiki
Compare results from each school

4. Pedagogy of BioEYES Sessions
Introduce DNA extraction to students and have students extract DNA
Background Knowledge: Describe what a gene is?/How many whromosomes are found in a zebra fish?/How are zebra fish used in research studies?
Discuss the stages of development of the zebra fish

5. Modern Lab DNA Extraction
Students can use a variety of sources to extra DNA from
Strawberry
Peas
Broccoli
Liver

6. Benefits of BioEYES Curriculum
Incorporates critical thinking skills; students engage in the scientific process and make their own discoveries each day
While learning about zebra fish, students can discover why zebra fish are beneficial for scientific studies.
Small and easy to take care for
Produce large number of offspring
Inexpensive
Fast growth

7. Useful Strategies to Implement
Encourage students to take on the role and responsibilities of a scientist
Science notebooks will be utilized by students to demonstrate their understanding and summary of each day’s activity.
Emphasize essential criteria:
Write (at least) four observations in complete sentences.
Differentiate between observation versus inferences
Record data in data table and produce a graph of results
Calculate average mortality rate
