This pathway explores the properties of water that make it essential for life. Key properties of water discussed in this pathway include water as a solvent, hydrogen bonding, specific heat and cohesion.

Western blotting is a common technique to visualize proteins and determine protein expression in cells. In this pathway, CRISPR-Cas9 edited macrophages are tested for the expression of the CCR5 protein.

When a chemcial reaction occurs in a closed system, it will reach an equilibrium state in which reactants and products are produced at the same rate. This pathway provides resources to undestand the factors that affect chemical equilibrium.

This pathway makes aware of scientific misconduct and introduces how it can be countered by research integrity.

This pathway explores the principles of rotational motion, such as rotational intertia, torque and angular velocity. Angular kinematics are explained in a manner analogous to one dimentional kinematics, and the principle of conservation of angular momentum is discussed. Applications of these principles are provided, as well as problems to check for understanding.

We invite children of all ages to create something colorful with these downloadable coloring pages!

This pathway introduces the scientific method as the fundamental concept of the scientific process and illustrates how scientific inquiry should be conducted.

Immune cell genes are sequenced after gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9. The goal is to identify a disrupted CCR5 gene in edited macrophages. Macrophages that don’t express CCR5 are resistant to HIV infection.

This pathway explores the concept of simple harmonic motion. The pendulum and spring are used as foundational examples that are used to develop more complex models. Advanced application such as resonsnce are discussed

Water is essential for life as we know it, due in part to its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances. In fact, most chemical reactions occur in a dissolved state. This pathway provides resources regarding how water is able to act as a solvent.

This pathway explores the concept of sound. Sound is described in terms of its wave properties, and properties of sound are explained, such as interference, and the Doppler Effect. There is additional information on how hearing works.

This pathway highlights how the LabXchange experimental design simulation can be used to help learners design and plan experiments to answer a research question.

This pathway introduces you to the virtual lab simulations available on LabXchange, and how these simulations can be used to teach lab skills like gel electrophoresis.

This pathway is designed to support educators in using the LabXchange platform with learners. The pathway provides an overview of LabXchange and tutorials for the features educators will need, such as how to create a class and enroll learners, how to find and assign relevant content for learners, and how to add your own content to your private library.

A GFP reporter gene is used to test CRISPR-Cas9 edited macrophages for HIV resistance.

This pathway is designed to help students get the most out of their online learning experience.

This pathway outlines how genetic information is added to cells in the technique called transformation. This pathway also supports ABE Lab 5.
