Objective SWBAT 1. Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem affect populations. 2. Evaluate competing design solutions for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Big Idea Students investigate the idea that small changes in one part of a system might cause large changes in another.

" This class is a project-based introduction to the engineering of synthetic biological systems. Throughout the term, students develop projects that are responsive to real-world problems of their choosing, and whose solutions depend on biological technologies. Lectures, discussions, and studio exercises will introduce (1) components and control of prokaryotic and eukaryotic behavior, (2) DNA synthesis, standards, and abstraction in biological engineering, and (3) issues of human practice, including biological safety; security; ownership, sharing, and innovation; and ethics. Enrollment preference is given to freshmen. This subject was originally developed and first taught in Spring 2008 by Drew Endy and Natalie Kuldell. Many of Drew's materials are used in this Spring 2009 version, and are included with his permission. This OCW Web site is based on the OpenWetWare class Wiki, found at OpenWetWare: 20.020 (S09)"

The MIT Biology Department core courses, 7.012, 7.013, and 7.014, all cover the same core material, which includes the fundamental principles of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology. Biological function at the molecular level is particularly emphasized and covers the structure and regulation of genes, as well as, the structure and synthesis of proteins, how these molecules are integrated into cells, and how these cells are integrated into multicellular systems and organisms. In addition, each version of the subject has its own distinctive material.

The MIT Biology Department core courses, 7.012, 7.013, and 7.014, all cover the same core material, which includes the fundamental principles of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology. 7.013 focuses on the application of the fundamental principles toward an understanding of human biology. Topics include genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, disease (infectious agents, inherited diseases and cancer), developmental biology, neurobiology and evolution.Biological function at the molecular level is particularly emphasized in all courses and covers the structure and regulation of genes, as well as, the structure and synthesis of proteins, how these molecules are integrated into cells, and how these cells are integrated into multicellular systems and organisms. In addition, each version of the subject has its own distinctive material.

Educators can use the toolkit as a whole or borrow pieces to meet their unique learning objectives and circumstances. You may watch the film in the classroom or assign it to your students to watch on their own time. Many of these activities can be assigned virtually, as many schools will not resume in-person classrooms during 2020. The film can also be useful for student groups and associations.
The film has been divided up into 3 sections to accommodate for classroom viewing. Each section includes discussion questions, a lesson plan, and a lab. All of the student-facing materials are available on the website while the lesson plans and video links are accessible by signing up for a free screening license. All activities have NGSS and/or AP Bio standards alignment.
We also have 2 activities geared toward career exploration. We need young people to enter the fields of science now more than ever! Finally, we have some bonus materials that include materials created by other educators that can be useful as well. If you would like to submit an activity for us to include and share with other educators, please email breakthrough@uncommonproductions.com.

Through two lessons and five activities, students explore the structure and function of cell membranes. Specific transport functions, including active and passive transport, are presented. In the legacy cycle tradition, students are motivated with a Grand Challenge question. As they study the ingress and egress of particles through membranes, students learn about quantum dots and biotechnology through the concept of intracellular engineering.

" This seminar is designed to be an experimental and hands-on approach to applied chemistry (as seen in cooking). Cooking may be the oldest and most widespread application of chemistry and recipes may be the oldest practical result of chemical research. We shall do some cooking experiments to illustrate some chemical principles, including extraction, denaturation, and phase changes."
