Human Chromosome Karyotyping
Karen and Brian use kits from NeoSci http://www.neosci.com/ http://www.neosci.com/catalog.asp?sid=1071484071&showID=141&content=cn_showitem and CELLServ http://www.cellservkits.com/NewFiles/Kit4.html
The NeoSci kit is a dry lab activity of cutting and arranging hyman karyotype spreads.  The CELLServ kit includes a wet lab activity of making a chromosome pattern with prepared human cells.

Dave presented a laboratory process for Cheesemaking.
Here’s some backgrounds information about the Armfield Cheese vat

Food Science had always been alive and well at Kewaskum High School, in eastern Wisconsin. Instructor, Dave Rizzardi’s Agriculture class had been making cheese the old-fashioned way for some time, using pots and pans.  But recently, with the help of a Carl Perkins Grant secured through their local Cooperative Educational Service Association (CESA), Dave’s Ag Department will soon be doing even more 'real science,' since they purchased an Armfield Cheese Vat. http://www.concad.com/Kewaskum_HS_Food_Science.html

The MCK Science Center has K-12 programs as well as Middle School and High School Programs

Andy also shared with us a CD: Seeing the Effects The Molecular Approach to Smoking Prevention. This can also be downloaded from the web site at: http://instruct.mcw.edu/cse/projects/tprep.htm

The Center for Science Education has developed a molecular based curriculum on smoking cessation for high school students and is in the process of adapting this curriculum for middle school students. This curriculum is designed to be integrated in existing science curriculum and is aligned with state and national standards. This project involves both high school and middle school teachers in the development and in field-testing of the exercises with their classes.
