  1. Day 4: Glow Sticks Curiosity Zone The Magical World of Biology and Chemistry Dorcas Green, Arielle Darden (Today’s Reflection) Arielle Darden, Instructor – Weldon City, Schools,

  2. Reflection…. • Prompt: List one thing you learned, one thing you found interesting, and one thing you would like to learn more about/investigate further. • Bodily Fluids • pH /Determining unknown acidity and alkalinity. • Blood Typing (A, B, AB, O) Arielle Darden, Instructor – Weldon City, Schools,

  3. Blood Typing Clarification Arielle Darden, Instructor – Weldon City, Schools,

  4. Agglutination • A process that occurs within blood cells when the incorrect blood type is given to a patient. Simply referred to as clumping Arielle Darden, Instructor – Weldon City, Schools,

  5. Who can give/receive blood? • http://www.nobelprize.org/educational/medicine/bloodtypinggame/ (Nobel Prize Site) Arielle Darden, Instructor – Weldon City, Schools,

  6. Is it possible…. • What is the meaning of the term ? • Bioluminescenceis the production and emission of light by a living organism. • What organisms come to mind when you hear this term? Arielle Darden, Instructor – Weldon City, Schools,

  7. How does it occur? • One way is by the chemical reaction pigment luciferin. An enzyme known as luciferase oxidizes the pigment causing the glow effect. Show students the chemical reaction. Arielle Darden, Instructor – Weldon City, Schools Dorcas Green – NCSAS District-2 Co-director

  8. Day 4: Glow Sticks Curiosity Zone The Magical World of Biology and Chemistry Dorcas Green, Arielle Darden (New Material for Today) Arielle Darden, Instructor – Weldon City, Schools Dorcas Green – NCSAS District-2 Co-director

  9. Continued.. • Another way is through genetic engineering with a protein known as GFP, Green Fluorescent Protein. Arielle Darden, Instructor – Weldon City, Schools,

  10. GFP? • Green Fluorescent Protein: -It was first isolated from a jellyfishAequoreavictoria. -It fluoresces when exposed to ultraviolet light Arielle Darden, Instructor – Weldon City, Schools Dorcas Green – NCSAS District-2 Co-director

  11. Where do bioluminescent organisms dwell? • On land(terrestrial) …. Arielle Darden, Instructor – Weldon City, Schools Dorcas Green – NCSAS District-2 Co-director

  12. Where do bioluminescent organisms dwell? • In water (marine environments) Arielle Darden, Instructor – Weldon City, Schools Dorcas Green – NCSAS District-2 Co-director

  13. Day 4: Glow Sticks Curiosity Zone Lesson Investigation – Design Your Own Lab (DYOL) using glow sticks to illustrate how fireflies glow brighter on a warm summer night. Arielle Darden, Instructor – Weldon City, Schools Dorcas Green – NCSAS District-2 Co-director

  14. Day 4: Glow Sticks Curiosity Zone Lesson Extension - Create a bioluminescent organism using modeling clay and glow sticks. Arielle Darden, Instructor – Weldon City, Schools,
