Wed, May 12, 2027
Two things today. First, here is everything that was due since your last catch-up day, so you can see what you still owe and turn it in. Then the rest of the period is Research Track time.
Check what you have already turned in. Anything left unchecked is what today is for.
- Wed, May 5, 2027 · Biotechnology oversight: weigh the evidenceOne sentence explaining why antibiotic-resistance selection markers are a specific biosafety concern, plus three lab rules you would require.
- Thu, May 6, 2027 · pGLO setup and DNA-band recordsOne record with actual kit condition labels, setup dates and May 7 colony-count fields marked pending; gel image and lane records when supplied. If unavailable, submit the explicitly invented C1/G1 practice record and identify the missing actual evidence.
- Fri, May 7, 2027 · pGLO plate observations and gel analysisOne plate-observation and gel-analysis record: actual pGLO condition labels, count or uncountable-growth description, fluorescence and status; then ladder distances, a standard curve, sample-size estimates and a conclusion about pattern consistency with an identity limit. Keep any invented fallback separately labeled within that same record.
- Mon, May 10, 2027 · Notebook audit: trace records and preserve limitsComplete transformation and gel laboratory notebook: transformation notes, plate colony counts with units, gel standard curve, fragment-size estimates with units, conclusion about band-pattern consistency with an identity limit, one error source, and one future improvement.
- Tue, May 11, 2027 · Research duty: honest records and bounded claimsOne sentence on the consequence of a broken chain of custody, plus a written ethical standard statement for your own independent project.
Turn in: Any catch-up work that is still missing
Go to Schoology to turn this in.
Submit one PDF. Schoology attaches your name to your upload; on the page itself, write your period and code. Name the file: FirstName LastName - Assignment Title - YYYY-MM-DD.pdf.

Were you out for any of these? You get two school days for every day you were absent, so this deadline moves with you.
Those days fed these parts of your end-of-course WebXam (expected to be 072125, still being confirmed). Heaviest first.

The sessions picked out for Biotechnology for Health (Biomedical Innovations) all sit earlier in the track, so this day does not name a new one. Open the track and take the next session you have not done. The case runs the length of this course.
Open the Research TrackResearch Track work is enrichment, the same track your lessons link to. It does not replace anything on the checklist above.
