Hampshire College

Hampshire College is a private liberal arts college located in Amherst, Massachusetts. It was founded in 1970 as an experiment in alternative education, to be in association with four other colleges in the Pioneer Valley: Amherst College, Smith College, Mount Holyoke College, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Together they are now known as the Five Colleges.

Movement across membranes

Movement across membranes

Explain saturation, competition, and specificity for any transport mechanism and demonstrate these graphically.

Extraordinary in the Ordinary: Views from the Hubble Space Telescope Lesson Subject Matter: Astronomy and Hubble Space Telescope Lesson Time: 1-2 hours (Individual slides from the accompanying PowerPoint presentation can be used as mini-lessons or content from individual slides can be expanded into multiple hour-long lessons as part of a larger astronomy curriculum. The referenced website provides a great deal of background information as well links to additional resources.) Target Audience : 4th grade and up. The lesson can be adapted for many age and ability levels. All of the slides and activities are suitable for all of the suggested target audience levels, however the content delivered using the slides should be modified to fit the audience for which the lesson is being used. Throughout the notes for the slides, there are comments that indicate where modifications can be made. The decision to include some content and leave other pieces out can also be guided by the National Science Standards outlined below. Materials Needed: Extraordinary in the Ordinary PowerPoint files (Available at: http://bork.hampshire.edu/~sam/extraordinary/Extraordinary_in_the_Ordinary.ppt), a few US dimes (optional), 35mm film camera (optional), 20mw laser pointer (optional), telescope for after presentation (optional), pre/post assessment questions (included below), grapefruit (optional), ball point pen (optional), 100 tape measure (optional). National Science Standards: Ear...
