KINDERGARTEN TOUR

这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一。 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。对子项目的主要支持 子项目的首席调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括美国国立卫生研究院的其他来源。为子项目列出的总成本可能 表示该子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 不是由NCRR赠款提供给次级项目或次级项目工作人员的直接资金。 比尔·诺布尔带领27名年轻的初出茅庐的科学家和一些家长陪同参观了包括杜纳姆实验室在内的密歇根大学校园。学生们学习了细胞，并将生长酵母的气味与大肠杆菌的气味进行了比较。在听说酵母被用来制作面包后，他们观察到酵母闻起来像面包。他们还了解到，酵母吃糖，他们的学名，酵母，意思是“食糖真菌”。为了探索进化论的基本概念，学生们想象了如果全班只有五块饼干吃会发生什么。最快的学生会得到饼干，就像在他们的培养环境中，最快的酵母在低糖水平上竞争得最好一样。学生们也对杜纳姆实验室的显微镜印象深刻，并期待着回到他们的教室，在那里他们可以用他们的简单显微镜来观察来自泥土和水的其他细胞样本。在实验室参观结束后，学生们继续在伯克博物馆进行更多的活动。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. Bill Noble hosted a group of 27 young budding scientists and some parent chaperones on a tour of the UW campus that included the Dunham lab. The students learned about cells and compared the smell of growing yeast to the smell of E. coli. After hearing that yeast is used to make bread, they observed that yeast smells like bread. They also learned that yeast eat sugar and that their scientific name, Saccharomyces, means "sugar eating fungus." To explore basic concepts of evolution, the students imagined what would happen if the whole class had just five cookies to eat. The fastest students would get the cookies, just as the "fastest" yeast compete best for the low level of sugar in their culture environment. The students were also impressed with the Dunham lab microscope and looked forward to returning to their classroom where they could use their simple microscope to look at other samples of cells from dirt and water. At the end of the lab tour, the students continued on the the Burke Museum for more activities.
