  1. Welcome to Bio184L! • Contemplating the nuts & bolts of Life • xVivo’s 3D cell animation

  2. Lets hear about you ON A NOTECARD 1. Your name 2. Your major and year 3. Something interesting about you

  3. About me... • Katie Sammons • kms10@email.arizona.edu • Office Hours: Monday 2-4 by appt only. • If you do not email me, I will not be there

  4. Meet your Preceptors • Sara • Grace • Anny • Serena

  5. Overview • Goal is to demonstrate scientific thinking & problem solving methods… and learn some molecular biology while we’re at it. • You will play a major role in experimentation and protocol design. I am not interested in regurgitation, but rather in understanding. • See page ix in your lab manual for elaboration on goals and the intentions of the course.

  6. My expectations • Read before class • Be on time! • PARTICIPATE • Complete the assignments (online, etc) • Participate • Think, evaluate, investigate, understand

  7. Syllabus • READ IT- don’t be lazy, because I won’t be sympathetic when you cry about some policy you “didn’t know about!” • You must clean-up after all labs. Information on how to for each lab is available on the course homepage under “Weekly Clean-Up.” Failure to do such will result in the loss of 50% on your next quiz *Sign the Plagiarism Agreement and give it to me next time we have lab

  8. Personal to me • I give a little quiz every class… Its at the beginning. You will have ten minutes to complete it, from when the bell rings (if you’re 5 minutes late, you will have 5 minutes). If you cannot make it due to a traitorous walk across campus, come see me with your class schedule • I DO NOT accept late work. Period. No partial credit for turning anything in late, this is not high school.

  9. About the manual • Reading it will prepare you for class & in-class quizzes • Reading prior to 5’ before class will allow you to understand & think about what you’re reading • Lays out Philosophy (vii), Learning Goals (ix), expectations (xi) • Contains Periodic Table (0-1) and Molecular Basics (0-3), rules of molecule pics (0-5) and a cell (0-7) • All Rubrics for written work can be found both online and in your lab manual. USE THEM

  10. 80% of success is just showing up* • Absences must be excused from from Asya Roberts in BSE109 prior to making up • Arriving late is absent. Leaving early is absent. • Labs cannot be offered week after they are delivered; Avoid missing a lab • Missing 2 labs blows a huge hole in the intellectual content. You may be dropped from the course--excused or otherwise *--Woody Allen

  11. Policies and Grading • Plagiarism again… Grow up. This isn’t High School Spanish. You should know this stuff. The University does not tolerate cheating (see agreement) • Online homework is due at 10:00pm the night before lab. • Don’t email me with homework questions after sundown, the night they are due. I won’t answer, so start them EARLY. • Consult your syllabus for further information

  12. Advice • Roam the website and get comfortable with it. It contains links for all the software you will need for the course (fo’ free) • You must read the relevant lab chapter before you come to lab. Your quiz will be composed of questions pertinent to it and last week’s lab. • Use me. I’ve been where you’re at… recently. I legitimately want to see you do good, but if you don’t meet me halfway, I lose interest

  13. Web page operation

  14. How? Why? the Tao of Molecules • How molecules feel & the world they live in

  15. Primary goals • Creating understanding by observation and reasoning • Establish the chemical foundations for the course: • Water & its properties • non-watery things • Start thinking of molecules as real & tangible

  16. Visualizing the invisible • Atoms & Molecules

  17. Coloring your world

  18. O + H H + - Four views of Water (There will be a test) H2O See lab manual, p. 0-3

  19. How to draw molecules Carbon HydrogenOxygenNitrogen

  20. Thinking with your nose

  21. Two paper towels will be passed around • Give your nose a pass at each • What do you notice? • What does the fact of smelling tell you about involvement of molecules? • What does smelling different things tell you?

  22. C10H14O • The formula for both smells. What can you conclude?

  23. This is the structural drawing for both smells. What can you conclude? • See ‘Duo_Comparator’ in Lab01f folder

  24. Doing it • Computers, stations • (FYI: how to use Assessor link on Software page) • Molecular properties • Group names: Once you open assessor, come see me for a group name!!

  25. How to get to the activity • Open Lab TAO 1 Folder • Double click on the icon of a molecule on a black background • I will assign each group a different name. Write what yours is down s you can go back and look at my comments • Enter your section number • Find the “select and exercise” at the top • Select “molecules and properties” • GROUP NAMES:

  26. Writing your short answers • 1. Make sure you understand the question being asked (ask for clarification if you don’t) • 2. ALWAYS explain WHY and/or HOW in your answers • 3. If you use science JARGON you must define or explaining the word otherwise you cannot use it • 4. Use google to help you if needed. • i.e. static electricity- don’t just say this, what is happening molecularly

  27. Clean up! • Oil waste in the hood • ethanol waste in the fume hood • anything too messy wadded up and discarded

  28. Picking your brain • 30-ish minute test of what you already know • This is voluntary and anonymous, but HIGHLY appreciated and a good way for me to like you (kidding, I don’t like anyone), but I will hate you less if you do it. Please sign your name on the blank sheet of paper provided by me, so I know who did it (survey still anonymous).

  29. Homework Due 10 p.m. Wednesday night! • Vocab Atoms/Mols: xWord(x2) or‘Wary • Assessor: Molecular World Tutorial =\ Next week’s quiz will include Concepts from today Atom colors Deducing partial charges (from tutorial) Manual Ch. 2

  30. Some advice http://www.damnlol.com/please-do-me-right-now-224.html
