Simple Science

I created this powerpoint for my AP Biology students in the hope that they will have a firmer grasp of what standard deviation is beyond just a formula that is on an excel spreadsheet. Their intrinsic understanding helped them create beautiful graphs from their lab "Factors affecting enzyme activity lab" that I have included at the end of the powerpoint. Please let me know if you found it useful or what is lacking and I can make it even better as I find students shy away from the statistics when

A great senior biology molecular biology/biotoechnology simulation of Frederick Sanger's DNA sequencing method by using colored paperclips and cups. Students will understand the process of using sequence terminators ddNTPs to build various fragment sizes before simulating separation by size and ultimately reading the base sequence.
