AbstractNanotechnology has been recognized in the 21st century as a new and modern science field. It is therefore necessary to update school science by integrating nanotechnology-related concepts into curricula for students in order to prepare an educated workforce and a responsible generation that will make scientifically literate decisions. The current study examines a unique way to address the teaching of the concept “the making of nanotechnology,” one of eight essential concepts of nanotechnology that should be taught in high school and at the undergraduate level, which were identified by a recent study. The concepts’ definition and explanation are presented. The main goal of the study is to learn how students’ participation in a one-day nanotechnology conference “NanoIsrael 2014”

Blood, bone marrow and organ donation is a major issue that concerns all of us. Even though 18 is the age of eligibility to become a donor, awareness should be raised earlier through education. To this end, and given that this issue is marred by prejudice and misconceptions, we developed an educational pack, aimed at senior high school students, which may be delivered in the context of a biology or sociology course. The proposed teaching intervention follows a three-fold approach: (1) First, students are educated on monoclonal antibodies and relevant biotechnology tools and their role in organ transplantation via a board game, (2) Second, we promote empathy using a free writing exercise that employs art prompts and audiovisual material, (3) Third, we assign students with research projects that involve building questionnaires, collecting and analyzing data and producing a science poster to be posted on the school website. Importantly, the aim of this proposed intervention is to educate and to raise awareness while students build on their research, technology and writing skills.

Gathering Data

Statistics plays a key role in shaping policy in a democratic society, so statistical literacy is essential for all citizens to keep a democratic government strong (Wallman 1993). However, fostering the statistical thinking is a complex endeavor. We ultimately need to engage students in all phases of the investigative cycle of statistics, including data gathering, data analysis, and inference.

Engaging young science learners today requires a plethora of tools that oftentimes leverages technology in novel ways. This paper describes the use of several 21st century technologies to engage science learners in locally relevant climate science research projects and the presentation of these projects in an entirely online virtual student conference. Case studies demonstrating the use of and effectiveness of 21st century technologies and GLOBE protocols are also included. Through technology, students were able to find out more about distant locations and their own environments, talk to scientists, and make studying climate science personally relevant. Finally, the implementation and structure of the GLOBE Virtual Student Conference is described.

Scientific Meetings

Objective: To present a high school insertion pilot project in post graduate programs (PPG) and discuss the mechanisms for the formation of leaders in science. Methods: This study presents a review and pilot project. Bibliographic search occurred in sites of CAPES, MEC, SciELO and library of virtual books from January/ 2014 to February/2015. The pilot is in PPG-Medicine III Translational Surgery/UNIFESP and Pathophysiology and Surgical Sciences / UERJ. The junior undergraduate students (ICj) came from public school and develop scientific activities: scientific meetings, graduation and inclusion in research projects. The evaluation will occur at the end of one year, with the results essays, reports and participation in scientific events. Results: In Brazil, one of the main challenges of education is the high average years of study. The PNPG (2011-2020) shows the insertion of basic education in all PPG. In the Pathophysiology and Surgical Sciences/UERJ there are currently 11 high school students who have followed the scientific meetings and are being prepared for the inclusion in research projects. There was 30% of absence, owing to the high school hours. This result and the experience allow creating future alternatives to enhance the integration project. Conclusion: The leadership in science is formed from a complex relationship between basic education and investment in research. PPG-Medicine III courses follow the vanguard with initiatives focused on scientific and technological development. Thus, projects involving basic education students represent promoter model and environment leaders.

INTRODUCTION. The amount of new discoveries in molecular biology as well as the speed with which technological advances have been occurring and presented to students increases the complexity, the dynamics and the fluidity of the school environment. However, the approaching methods and the teaching resources used in classroom remains the most traditional ever. Therefore, the development of alternative methodologies which can overcome the deficiencies in schooling-learning process and motivate students for science field is needed. OBJECTIVE. Thus, we aimed to standardize a laboratorial protocol for simulate DNA fingerprint technique directed for high school students. MATHERIAL AND METHODS. Once the original protocol with DNA samples requires expensive reagents and equipment, practical activities were performed with protein samples. Protein extraction protocols used for seven distinct samples were tested: food supplements; milk serum; blood serum; powdered milk; animal; plant; rice bran. Each protocol efficacy was tested in SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. Best samples were chosen for simulate the band patterns in an electrophoresis gel ordinarily found in DNA fingerprint methods. COMCLUSIONS. Therefore, such results may be used for forensic and paternity tests simulations in an alternative teaching activity for high school students, which could arise the opportunity to approach the basics principles of science technology and research. However, more tests are required in order to reproduce the results with cheaper protocols and make its viability in the class. Nonetheless, results accomplished in this work may be reproduced by school teachers in a partnership with academy labs in order to bring biotechnology resources to students life.
