1. FCR-STEM Integrated Biology ICAD 3 October 24-28 , 2016
Instructor: Dr. Adam Santone, FCR-STEM
Science Supervisor: Millard Lightburn, Ph.D.
Curriculum Support Specialist: Daniel Gangeri
This is the first FCR STEM session out of a total of 8 sessions. The session will be led by Dr. Adam Santone, from FCR STEM.
Department of Science

2. Session Goal
Provide a rigorous, content-driven, inquiry-based professional development series to biology teachers in Miami Dade County.
As part of the efforts to increase student success in biology, the Department of Science and Florida State University’s FCR-STEM program have collaborated to provide a rigorous, content-driven, inquiry-based professional development series to biology teachers
Department of Science

3. Course Overview:
The FCR STEM Biology is a 60 hour professional development which will be held locally in Miami and offered over multiple days.
It will focus on two areas:
1.The Diversity and Ecology and
2.The Integrated Cell Biology
The Diversity and Ecology institute emphasizes that heredity, reproduction, and the interdependence of living organisms contribute to evolution, which is the ultimate explanation for the diversity of life on
The Integrated Cell Biology Institute will offer life science teachers the opportunity to learn fundamental biological principles that apply to human health and disease

7. AGENDA ICAD 3: Integrated Biology
Overview of FCR-STEM Integrated Biology
Cell Theory
Genetics Concepts
Mitosis and Meiosis
Reflection and MLP
Department of Science

8. CELL THEORY All living things are made up of cells.
Cells are the basic units of structure and function of living things.
New cells are produced from existing cells.
With the discovery of the cell was closely associated with the discovery of the microscope. In 1600 Englishman Robert Hooke and Dutchman Anton Van Leeuwenhoeck by utilizing an early microscopes were the first to observe cells.
In 1838 German botanist Mathias Schleiden stated that all plants are made of cells.
In 1839 German Biologist Theodor Schwann stated that all animals are made of cells
In 1855 German Physician Rudolf Virchow concluded that new cells come from division of existing cells.

9. Genetics Concepts Mendelian Genetics
Vocabulary: Genes, Alleles (dominant, recessives).
Probability and Punnett squares
Homozygous and Heterozygous
Phenotype and Genotype
Modern science of Genetics was founded by Austrian monk Gregor Mendel, who carried out his work with peas.
He addressed fertilization through concepts of pollination and cross-pollination were introduced and also hybrids. His second law is called Principle of Dominance, which states that some alleles are dominant an others are recessive.
Punnett Squares: uses mathematical probabilities to help predict the genotype and phenotype combinations in genetic crosses.
Department of Science

10. Participants had the opportunity do use R-Fiddle to practice programming skills by running codes to generate graphs with genetic concepts.

11. Cell Division Eukaryotic Cell Cycle: has four phases: G1, S, G2 and M
Phases of Mitosis:
-Prophase: chromatin condenses into chromosomes
-Metaphase: chromosome in center of cell,
-Anaphase: sister chromatids separate
-Telophase: chromosome at opposite end
Cytokinesis: Formation of daughter cells
G1 is also know as Cell Growth, S Phase deals with DNA replication, G2 preparing for Cell Division and M phase is Cell Division.
Mitosis: Through four phases, it leads to the formation of daughter cells identical in chromosomes count to parent cells.
