- DNA extraction
- In Restoring the American chestnut, page 6
- In this lesson, students model the process of electrophoresis and DNA fingerprinting. They will evaluate DNA evidence and look for a gene that is resistant to the chestnut blight.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 English Language Arts and Science)
- By Shelley Casey.
- Good medicine
- Students will examine changes in technology, medicine, and health that took place in North Carolina between 1870 and 1930 and construct products and ideas which demonstrate understanding of how these changes impacted people living in North Carolina at that time. To achieve these goals, students will employ the eight intelligences of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences Theory.

- By Leslie Ramsey.
- Restoring the American chestnut
- A blight devastated American chestnut trees in the early 1900s. In this unit students will study how biotechnology is being used to develop a blight-resistant tree. They will engage in hands-on activities to apply their knowledge of DNA and genetics to simulate the steps needed to find the genes for resistance and insert them into an American chestnut tree. Lessons are designed to be used for any level of biology and do not require high-tech equipment.

- What happens to plant cells in hypertonic and hypotonic solutions?
- Students will be using actual laboratory examples and classroom examples to understand the movement of molecules across the cell membrane. Looking at weight change in potato cells, color change in diffusion, and the shrinking of living tissue will allow the student to experience diffusion and osmosis.
