School Biomass to Energy PBL Website Links
This website describes a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) unit centered on the idea of converting biomass to energy. It is intended for multiple age groups, including 8th grade science, high school environmental science, and high school earth science students. This site was created to fullfill the requirements of Purdue University course, EDCI 6…
GREENergy PBL Website Links
This problem based unit has students devise a way to use reclaimed and degraded land in their community to create a green energy source in the form of biofuel. The unit has a preliminary time line of 3 weeks, but may take a little more time. The unit is designed for Advanced Placement Environmental Science, Horticulture Science and Earth Space S…
Moving from petroleum to plants to energize our world
Can we imagine a future fueled by living plants rather than oil? The Center for direct Catalytic Conversion of Biomass to Biofuels (C3Bio) was established in 2009 with a 5-year, $20 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. C3Bio researchers at Purdue University are investigating new ways to make advanced biofuels ... i…
Where do trees come from?
This is a 4 minute video showing where the mass of a tree comes from. The interviewer asks people of various ages where the "stuff" that makes up a tree is derived. The video also describes an early experiment conducted to determine where the mass of a tree comes from. Short, entertaining and informative for students of all ages. If youtube is rest…
TodaysMeet
TodaysMeet allows audience members to comment in real time during a presentation. It was very popular at the 2012 Research Goes to School workshop after the Bio I group used it in their presentation on Organizing and Planning a PBL unit. http://www.todaysmeet.com …
Survey of basic understanding of statistics, experimental design, and cellular components
This is an assessment of statistics, experimental design, and cellular components that has been used pre and post course for a cell biology class consisting mainly of biomedical and chemical engineers. Some of the statistics questions and the biology questions were developed by Ed Bartlett, and most were obtained from the Statistical Reasoning Test…

Use of case studies for practice in statistical test selection
Multiple case studies covering a range of topics in biology are presented. Students then use an online decision tree to select the appropriate statistical test based on the information provided by the case study. Developed by Tiantian Qin, Purdue University, Dept. of Statistics http://www.stat.purdue.edu/~tqin/system101/case.htm …
