Photosynthesis Taught Across The Curriculum

这个项目的目标是建立一套综合的实验，通过三门适当的课程来解决光合作用的光反应：生物学导论、植物学导论和植物生理学。这些实验为目标学生群体介绍了适当水平的理论和机械复杂程度的学科，在一个拥有该州最大教师教育项目的机构中进行。分光光度计、轨道振荡器和旋转蒸发器允许进行实验，包括使用叶绿体悬浮液和全细胞培养测量不同光强度、波长和温度下的光合作用速率。它们还包括从叶绿体悬浮液和分离的色素中获得吸收光谱。

The goal of this project is to establish an integrated set of experiments addressing the light reactions of photosynthesis across three appropriate courses: introductory biology, introductory botany, and plant physiology. These experiments introduce the subject at appropriate levels of theoretical and mechanical sophistication for the intended student groups, at an institution that has the largest teacher education program in the state. The Spectrophotometers, orbital shaker and rotary evaporator allow experiments that include measuring photosynthetic rates at different light intensities, wavelengths, and temperatures using chloroplast suspensions and whole cell cultures. They also include obtaining absorption spectra from chloroplast suspensions and separated pigments.
