In this activity students analyze a family’s pedigrees to make a claim based on evidence about mode of inheritance of a lactose intolerance trait, determine the most likely inheritance pattern of a trait, and analyze variations in DNA to make a claim about which variants are associated with specific traits. This activity serves as a supplement to the film Got Lactose? The Co-evolution of Genes and Culture (http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/making-fittest-got-lactase-co-evolution-genes-and-culture). The film shows a scientist as he tracks down the genetic changes associated with the ability to digest lactose as adults. A detailed teacher’s guide that includes curriculum connections, teaching tips, time requirements, answer key and a student guide can be downloaded at http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/pedigrees-and-inheritance-lactose-intolerance. Six supporting resource and two “click and learn” activities are also found on the link.

It is helpful to begin breathwork from a place of observation, rather than judgment or perfectionism. First, observe the quality of your breath as it is naturally. Gradually slow and deepen your breathing. It may be helpful to count your inhales and exhales in a pattern like this one: 4-4-6-2. Inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4, exhale for 6, hold for 2. This rhythm is likely different than your natural rhythm, requiring focused practice.

As you breathe, IMAGINE a large paintbrush painting over your worries in your favorite color, transforming your stress into a calm tone. As you fill your lungs with air, meditate on what you are grateful for. Vibrant hues and appreciation will fill your mind as you give the gift of stillness to your body.

The major purpose of this lesson is to promote the learning of eye function by associating eye problems and diseases to parts of the eye that are affected. Included in this module are discussions and activities that teach about eye components and their functions. The main activity is dissecting a cow eye, which in many high schools is part of the anatomy curriculum. This lesson extends the curriculum by discussing eye diseases that students might be familiar with. An added fun part of the lesson is discussion of what various animals see.

Smoking may be at near-record lows, but vaping remains popular. Among high school seniors, nearly than 1 in 3 admitted to using some type of vaping product. Vaping is the act of inhaling and exhaling the vapor produced by an e-cigarette or similar device. The term is used because e-cigarettes do not produce tobacco smoke, and instead produce a vapor that consists of fine particles. So, why is vaping so popular and is it a healthier alternative to smoking cigarettes? Have your students watch the video and respond to the question in KQED Learn.
