LabXchange features a freely accessible collection of interactive lessons, simulations, texts, videos, short assessments, and learning modules for biology and chemistry. Created by experts at Harvard University, the content is engaging and easily adaptable to fit most classroom and student learning needs.
This brief tutorial video describes how to create a class from your LabXchange Educator Dashboard.
This short video tutorial describes how to construct your own pathway from your LabXchange Dashboard.
This video introduces you to the different types of content found on LabXchange and how to find what you're looking for in the library.
In this video, teachers Dave and Mary break down how to use a micropipette and why this piece of equipment is an essential tool in the lab.
This is a video about how image manipulation software can be useful, but at times used to deleterious effect. Learners are asked to identify the point in the video when unacceptable data manipulation occurs.
This video describes the non-adaptive immune system, innate immune system, and the adaptive immune system.
This interactive image of an oxygen-binding curve for hemoglobin demonstrates
how changes in the concentration of carbon dioxide impact the environmental
pH and the structure of the hemoglobin protein, thereby altering its ability to
bind oxygen.
This video describes the non-adaptive immune system, and the innate immune system.
Why are some substances liquids, while others are solids? Why are some substances harder than others? Why is water essential for life on Earth? This pathway provides resources for answering these questions by looking at the types of intermolecular foces that exist between particles, and the effect that these forces have on the macroscopic properties of substances.
Esta vía proporciona una descripción general de los plásmidos recombinantes y cómo se pueden modificar para introducir nuevos rasgos en un organismo. Esta vía puede apoyar a ABE Labs 2, 2a, 3, 4 y 4a.
Esta vía ayudará a los alumnos a comprender mejor el papel fundamental que desempeñan las células bacterianas como fábricas de producción de proteínas en el proceso de clonación de genes. Los procesos de fisión binaria, transcripción y traducción son todos esenciales para este papel y se exploran en detalle aquí. Para aquellos que utilizan esta vía como parte de Amgen Biotech Experience, esta vía es una buena compañera para ABE Lab 5.
Esta vía es una revisión de la estructura de las proteínas y cómo se fabrican dentro de las células durante el proceso de ingeniería genética. Esta vía es un buen compañero para ABE Lab 6.
Esta vía describe el proceso de ingeniería genética con un enfoque en la clonación de genes. Esta vía también proporciona una introducción a la serie de laboratorios ABE.
Las micropipetas son herramientas que permiten a los científicos medir y utilizar
volúmenes muy pequeños de líquido en el rango de microlitros a mililitros. Este
interactivo presenta las partes de una micropipeta y el uso adecuado de esta
herramienta en el laboratorio.
This scrollable introduces the concept that cells can communicate via signaling molecules in a process called cell signaling. Communication between cells can lead to a variety of changes in the cell, from alterations to its growth, structure or metabolism. When cell signaling pathways don’t function properly, disease can result.
This interactive introduces how mistakes in the genome can cause disease. The gene editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 can correct these mistakes and potentially cure disease.
This pathway provides an overview of recombinant plasmids and how they can be modified to introduce new traits into an organism. This pathway can support ABE Labs 2, 2a, 3, 4 and 4a.
This pathway outlines the process of genetic engineering with a focus on gene cloning. This pathway also provides an introduction for the ABE lab series.
This pathway outlines how genetic information is added to cells in the technique called transformation. This pathway also supports ABE Lab 5.
This pathway will help learners better understand the critical role that bacterial cells play as protein production factories in the process of gene cloning. The processes of binary fission, transcription and translation are all essential for this role and are explored in detail here. For those using this pathway as part of the Amgen Biotech Experience, this pathway is a good companion to ABE Lab 5.
