In this lesson, students will identify the different sizes of micropipettors, recognize when to use which size and demonstrate the ability to accurately set and use the different sized micropipettors.  They also demonstrate the ability to successfully complete Micropipetting SOP.

In this lesson students identify DNA as an important molecule in biotechnology.  They demonstrate the ability to use basic lab equipment to isolate DNA and quantify yield.

In this lesson, the students define bacteriological media and its uses.  They list the ingredients and identify the purpose of each ingredient of nutrient agar.  Students prepare 200 mL of sterile nutrient agar and store agar for use in future labs.

In this lesson, students will define Quality Assurance, describe the role of the Regulatory Department, and distinguish between Quality Control and Quality Assurance.  They examine completed documents and inspect for variances and non-compliances and then work to correct them. 

In this lesson students will list general classroom procedures, define Quality Control (QC) and explain its purpose in a laboratory setting.  Then they will define FDA and describe its role in the biotechnology industry before identifying various types of laboratory documentation (SOP/OP, MSDS, Calibration Logs, etc.) and identifying different settings where documentation is used.  Then they will recognize a variance from compliance and its implications and demonstrate proper documentation practices.

In this lesson, students will count the number of bacteria colonies on an agar plate and determine the percentage of antibiotic-resistant bacteria colonies per gram of vegetable sample.

In this lesson, students will perform a serial dilution given step by step instructions and plate bacteria on an agar plate using sterile techniques.

In this lesson, students will find the location of operation keys on their calculators, use order of operations on a calculator, input scientific notation into a calculator, and use a scientific calculator or graphing calculator to perform calculations.

In this lesson, students will maintain a fermentation experiment and set up gas collection equipment in the lab.

In this lesson, students will analyze the results from a fermentation experiment and set up gas collection equipment in the lab.

In this lesson, students will identify common types of measurements made in the lab and the tools used to make those measurements as well as perform measurements in the lab implementing proper use of the metric system and significant figures.

In this lesson, students will distinguish between accuracy and precision and explain the reliability of digit in a number.  Then they will read lab equipment and report to correct number of significant figure while identifying the uncertain unit and round to correct number of significant figure.

In this less, students will list three (3) common measurement systems used in high schools as well as common unit conversion equivalencies and be able to use dimensional analysis to convert between units.

 In this lesson, students will write the generic format for an acid base reaction and then identify the salt on the product side of an acid base reaction.  Students will write the definition of a conjugate acid or base and pick out the conjugate base and conjugate acid from and acid base reaction before matching the acid/base and conjugated base/ acid pair when given an acid base reaction.

In this lesson, students will explain how a digital pH meter works before calibrating a Digital pH Meter while following SOP for calibration.  Then they will test the pH of a solution while following SOP for pH meter testing.

In this lesson, students will explain the plot of pH vs. volume to show buffering capacity of a solution and then graphically represent the difference between a buffered and un-buffered solution.

 In this lesson, students will state/ recall the components of Molarity, Molar Mass, and the conversion between mL and L and then write a generic protocol for preparing a buffer, given a buffer table.

In this lesson, students will:Use the subscripts in a chemical formula and identify how many of each atom are present. Write out the dissociation of water into, H+ and OH- .Name and identify H+ as a proton, H3O+ as hydronium, and OH- as hydroxide. Identify the key difference between Lewis Acid Base and Bronsted Lowry Acid base Definition.Identify three (3) common laboratory acids and three (3) common bases used in the lab.Show that the acids identified increase [H+] or [H3O+] and the bases increase [OH-] in solution.
