Connecting Concepts is a series of interactive web-based lessons designed to give introductory undergraduate biology students opportunities to connect biology concepts. Click on any lesson below to begin, or navigate using the links above to find out more about the project. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=423595 This is a lab activity which can be used to extract DNA from a variety of living tissues. This can help reinforce the idea that all living things have DNA. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=370939 Neuroanatomical system for pain and temperature including lesion information and patient cases.

This microscope is designed to "feel" and operate the same as a real microscope. The program is easy to use and allows for unlimited access anywhere. Great for lab follow up and learning cell structure as slides are labeled with key features. All slides are in 5 power settings: 1x,4x,10x,20x and 40x. There is also a complete Anatomy and Physiology Lab. Priced so every school can afford this 24/7 resource. Access iis through user name/pass code.Slide images can be added as requested and V-Scope Explorer program can be designed for any age group or class. There are over 455 slides and 425 slides that are labeled, this is just a sample. Go to www.vscopeexplorer.com to request a longer trial or more infomation. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=658834 Challenge students to become ‘species experts’ for an endangered species and explore biogeography concepts using species fact cards and maps of the continents. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=407061 This is designed to show students the different blood types and the compatibility of blood from one person to the next. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=473141 Short video introducing and illustrating the type of field-based chemical water quality measurement carried out by ecologists. Phosphate measurement is used as the example. Aimed at students without previous field experience of water quality sampling. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=473143 Short video introducing and illustrating the collection of insects and other invertebrates using a beating tray. Aimed at students without previous field experience of insect sampling techniques. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=473146 Short video introducing and illustrating field based measurement of dissolved oxygen in a stream.
