When students think of evolution, they might imagine T. rex, or perhaps an abiotic scene of sizzling electrical storms and harsh reducing atmospheres, an Earth that looks like a lunar landscape. Natural selection automatically elicits responses that include “survival of the fittest,” and “descent with modification,” and with these historical biological catch phrases, one conjures up images of large animals battling it out on the Mesozoic plane. Rarely do teachers or students apply these same ideas to cancer and the evolution of somatic cells, which have accrued mutations and epigenetic imprinting and relentlessly survive and proliferate. Our questions in this paper include the following: Can cancer become an important teaching model for students to explore fundamental hypotheses about evolutionary process? Can the multi- step somatic cancer model encourage visualizations that enable students to revisit and reenter previous primary concepts in general biology such as the cell, mitosis, chromosomes, genetic diversity, ecological diversity, immune function, and of course evolution, continually integrating their biology knowledge into process and pattern knowledge? Can the somatic cancer model expose similar patterns and protagonists, linking Darwinian observations of the natural world to our body? And, can the cancer clone model excite critical thinking and student hypotheses about what cancer is as a biological process? Does this visually simple model assist students in recognizing patterns, connecting their biological curriculum dots into a more coherent learning experience? These biological dynamics and intercepting aptitudes of cells are amplified through the cancer model and can help shape the way biology students begin to appreciate the interrelatedness of all biological systems while they continue to explore pivotal points of biological fuzziness, such as the microbiome, limitations of models, and the complex coordination of genomic networks required for the function of even a single cell and the realization of phenotypes. In this paper we use clonal evolution of cancer as a model experience for students to recreate how a single, non-germline cell appears to shadow the classic pattern of natural selection in body cells that have gone awry. With authentic STEAM activities students can easily crossover and revisit previous biological topics and the ubiquitous nature of natural selection as seen in the example of somatic cells that result in a metastasizing tumor, giving students insight into natural selection’s accommodating and tractable patterns throughout the planet.
一提到进化,学生们可能会联想到霸王龙,或者是炙热的电风暴和严酷的还原大气层的非生物场景,或者是宛如月球景观的地球。自然选择会自动引起包括 "适者生存 "和 "后裔改良 "在内的反应,有了这些历史悠久的生物学术语,人们就会联想到大型动物在中生代平面上搏斗的画面。教师或学生很少将这些观点应用到癌症和体细胞的进化中,因为体细胞已经积累了突变和表观遗传印记,并在不断地生存和增殖。本文提出的问题如下:癌症能否成为学生探索进化过程基本假设的重要教学模型?多步骤体细胞癌症模型能否鼓励可视化,使学生能够重温和重新进入以前的普通生物学基本概念,如细胞、有丝分裂、染色体、遗传多样性、生态多样性、免疫功能,当然还有进化,不断将他们的生物学知识整合到过程和模式知识中?体细胞癌症模型能否揭示类似的模式和主角,将达尔文对自然界的观察与我们的身体联系起来?癌症克隆模型能否激发学生的批判性思维,让他们对癌症作为一种生物过程提出假设?这种视觉上简单的模型是否有助于学生识别模式,将他们的生物课程点连接成更连贯的学习体验?通过癌症模型,这些生物动态和细胞的截取能力被放大,并有助于塑造生物系学生开始理解所有生物系统相互关联性的方式,同时他们继续探索生物模糊性的关键点,如微生物群、模型的局限性以及即使是单个细胞的功能和表型的实现所需的基因组网络的复杂协调。在本文中,我们将癌症的克隆进化作为学生的示范体验,让他们再现单个非种系细胞是如何在出了问题的体细胞中出现自然选择的经典模式。通过真实的 STEAM 活动,学生可以很容易地交叉和重温以前的生物主题,以及从体细胞导致肿瘤转移的例子中看到的自然选择无处不在的性质,让学生深入了解自然选择在整个地球上的包容和可控模式。

Understanding that evolution progresses through generation of DNA variants followed by selection is a key learning outcome for biology students. We designed an integrated and innovative undergraduate laboratory exercise using Saccharomyces cerevisiae to demonstrate these principles. Students perform in vitro experimental evolution by repeatedly propagating large or small yeast colonies on a weekly basis. Small-colony variants known as petites arise by mutations that disrupt aerobic respiration. To demonstrate the effects of increased mutation rates, half of the selection lines are exposed to ultraviolet irradiation. To understand how the petite phenotype arises, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is performed to examine mitochondrial DNA, while biochemical assays are used to assess the ability of petites to undergo aerobic respiration. This exercise demonstrates evolution by artificial selection over a suitably short timeframe and links the results to a critical biochemical process: the role of mitochondria in aerobic respiration and ATP production. By implementing these experiments, we successfully demonstrated that the frequencies of petite mutants in evolved populations varied according to the selection pressure we applied, and that petite mutants carried deletions in mitochondrial DNA as anticipated. Through an integrated learning context, this practical exercise promotes fundamental understanding of evolutionary processes and fosters critical thinking skills.
理解进化是通过 DNA 变异的产生和选择进行的,是生物专业学生的一项重要学习成果。我们设计了一个使用酿酒酵母的综合创新本科生实验练习来演示这些原理。学生们每周通过反复繁殖大或小的酵母菌群来进行体外实验进化。小菌落变种被称为 "小酵母"(petites),是通过破坏有氧呼吸的突变产生的。为了证明突变率增加的影响,一半的选择系暴露在紫外线照射下。为了了解 "小不点 "表型是如何产生的,我们进行了聚合酶链式反应(PCR)来检测线粒体 DNA,同时使用生化检测来评估 "小不点 "进行有氧呼吸的能力。这项工作展示了在适当短的时间内通过人工选择进行的进化,并将结果与一个关键的生化过程联系起来:线粒体在有氧呼吸和 ATP 生产中的作用。通过实施这些实验,我们成功地证明了进化种群中娇小突变体的频率随我们施加的选择压力而变化,而且娇小突变体如预期的那样携带线粒体DNA缺失。通过综合学习情境,该实践练习促进了对进化过程的基本理解,并培养了批判性思维能力。

Evolutionary theory is foundational to the life sciences because it unifies complex ecological principles and explains variation observed between and within species. Students at the secondary level often lack deep conceptual understanding of evolutionary theory, which is crucial to grasp topics related to primary drivers within populations such as inter- and intra-specific competition, predation, and reproductive success. Nonetheless, evolution remains a contentious topic in the United States. The prevalence of pseudoscientific belief among the U.S. populace warrants a calculated approach to deconstructing student misconceptions. This article puts forth an action-research-supported instructional strategy through which educators can identify and address core student misconceptions regarding evolutionary theory and other complex scientific phenomena, utilizing real-world and student-generated models to drive instruction.
进化理论是生命科学的基础,因为它统一了复杂的生态学原理,并解释了物种之间和物种内部的变异。中学阶段的学生往往对进化理论缺乏深刻的概念性理解,而进化理论对于掌握与种群内部主要驱动因素(如种群间和种群内竞争、捕食和繁殖成功)相关的主题至关重要。尽管如此,进化论在美国仍然是一个有争议的话题。伪科学信仰在美国民众中盛行,这就要求我们采取精心策划的方法来消除学生的误解。本文提出了一种以行动研究为支撑的教学策略,通过这种策略,教育工作者可以识别并解决学生对进化论和其他复杂科学现象的核心误解,利用现实世界和学生生成的模型来推动教学。

Abstract Antibiotic resistance has become one of the major public health threats of the 21st century. Bacteria serve as an excellent model organism, allowing scientists to study evolution in a short amount of time. There are many misconceptions among students regarding the emergence of bacterial resistance. Conducting experiments on the selective effects of antibiotics on bacteria in high school biology teaching can provide students with a more intuitive understanding of natural selection. This study designs a set of simulation activities: representing antibiotic resistance genes with letters and simulating the degree of antibiotic resistance with numbers. It simulates bacterial reproduction under no antibiotic pressure, in an antibiotic environment, and in a high-dose antibiotic environment. The simulation activity describes the significance of antibiotic resistance to health care while allowing students to better understand the directional role of natural selection in biological evolution and to dispel common misconceptions surrounding the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance.
摘要 抗生素耐药性已成为 21 世纪主要的公共卫生威胁之一。细菌是一种极好的模式生物,科学家可以利用它在短时间内研究进化。学生们对细菌耐药性的出现存在许多误解。在高中生物教学中开展抗生素对细菌的选择性作用实验,可以让学生对自然选择有更直观的认识。本研究设计了一套模拟活动:用字母表示抗生素抗性基因,用数字模拟抗生素抗性程度。它模拟了细菌在无抗生素压力、抗生素环境和高剂量抗生素环境下的繁殖。模拟活动描述了抗生素耐药性对医疗保健的重要意义,同时让学生更好地理解自然选择在生物进化中的定向作用,并消除围绕抗生素耐药性机制的常见误解。

Abstract Opportunities for research-based learning at the high school level are limited, and with the COVID-19 pandemic, these have been further reduced. Such opportunities are particularly scarce for authentic research experiences (AREs), which allow students to identify as scientists by collecting data that contributes to scientists' research. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we adapted two of our AREs for classroom settings, as remote independent research experiences for students to conduct from home. User guides and protocols from the AREs, Genotype-to-Phenotype Research with Corn and Discover Volvox Development, were adapted to instruct high school students to work on their own with the guidance of scientists and ARE coordinators. These independent authentic research experiences (IAREs) were implemented in the summer of 2020 and have since been available to students. Student responses to reflection questions and the Laboratory Course Assessment Survey indicate that IAREs provide students with significant gains including learning science content and research practices, collaborating with scientists, facing and resolving challenges, and contributing to scientific research.
摘要 高中阶段以研究为基础的学习机会有限,随着 COVID-19 的流行,这种机会进一步减少。真实研究体验(ARE)尤其缺乏这样的机会,这种体验可以让学生通过收集有助于科学家研究的数据来确定自己的科学家身份。为了应对 COVID-19 大流行,我们将两个真实研究经历改编成课堂教学环境下的远程独立研究经历,供学生在家进行研究。在科学家和 ARE 协调员的指导下,我们改编了 ARE(玉米基因型到表型研究)和 Discover Volvox Development 的用户指南和协议,以指导高中学生自主开展研究。这些独立真实的研究经历(IAREs)于 2020 年暑期开始实施,学生们从此可以获得这些经历。学生对反思问题和实验课程评估调查的回答表明,IARE 为学生带来了显著的收获,包括学习科学内容和研究实践、与科学家合作、面对和解决挑战,以及为科学研究做出贡献。

Abstract The announcement of world's first genome-edited babies using CRISPR/Cas 9 has provoked shock around the world. The popular technique has allowed great scientific and medical advances, but it also raises scientific ethical issues. Therefore, we attempted to design a new pattern of class to help students understand both the technical principles of this cutting-edge genome-editing technique and to explore key controversies in its use, so as to cultivate students' concept of scientific ethics. The students' feedback showed that the organization of the class and resulting discussion were very successful. This class session helped students understand both the abstract technical concepts involved in CRISPR-Cas 9 gene editing and about the scientific and medical ethics of its use. Our experiences show a helpful way for the teacher to improve students' interest, namely by connecting new scientific/technical breakthroughs to cultural events and scientific ethics.
摘要 世界上第一个使用 CRISPR/Cas 9 进行基因组编辑的婴儿的宣布引起了全世界的震惊。这项流行的技术带来了巨大的科学和医学进步,但也引发了科学伦理问题。因此,我们尝试设计一种新的课堂模式,既帮助学生了解这一前沿基因组编辑技术的技术原理,又探讨其使用过程中的关键争议,以培养学生的科学伦理观念。从学生的反馈来看,课堂的组织和讨论都非常成功。这堂课既帮助学生理解了 CRISPR-Cas 9 基因编辑技术所涉及的抽象技术概念,也帮助他们了解了使用该技术的科学伦理和医学伦理。我们的经验为教师提供了一种提高学生兴趣的有效方法,即把新的科技突破与文化事件和科学伦理联系起来。

Abstract We established a tallgrass prairie restoration experiment on a high school campus in Kansas. This easily accessible natural environment provides students and teachers many options including scientific research, artistic ventures, or simply relaxing in nature. Our restoration project has four main objectives: (1) practicing science; (2) increasing prairie habitat; (3) fostering a sense of place by getting students outside; and (4) facilitating community collaboration. Here, we present an overview of our restoration as a general model that is adaptable for a variety of ecosystems and circumstances.
