LIFE SCIENCE (Biology)

• Definition(s)– The science of life and of living organisms, including

their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution.

– The life processes of a group or category of living organisms.

Promoting Interest in Science

I am currently a collaborator and representative from Stevenson Middle School for the following grant proposal. Howard Hughes Medical Institute Initiative for Biomedical Research Institutions - 2007Queens Medical Center Ulu Kukui Project HHMI Grant Proposal (.pdf)

Purpose

• To figure out what this gene does in flies so that we can then apply it to humans.

Page 16: Welcome to Mr. Cogbills Life Science Class What is Life Science What is everyday Life Science Examples of Current Research at the University of Hawaii

How do we do this?

1. Determine when and where the gene products are found in the fly.

2. Determine if this fly gene can function like the human gene “in vitro”.

3. Mutate (mess up) the gene in flies and see what happens.

HAWAII SCIENCE

STANDARDSThis is what we are to teach in class according to the Hawaii Department

of Education. HCPS III

Page 18: Welcome to Mr. Cogbills Life Science Class What is Life Science What is everyday Life Science Examples of Current Research at the University of Hawaii

U.S. NATIONAL SCIENCE

STANDARDSThis is what students should be

learning according to the national standards set forth by the American Association for the Advancement of

Science.
