# Agenda

1. Introductions
3. Discussion of summer research Project goals
4. Discussion of alignment with class goals
5. Implementation brainstorm


## Introductions

- Who are we and why are we here?
- What is our experience with lab research?
- What is our experience with teaching?
- What is our experience with implementing research in the class?


## Summer Plans

- Where are we working, with who, and to what end?

Process of Science - Authentic questioning 

Physics class after state test.


Early semester


Ernesto: 

**Cell Culture**
**Bio printing**
goal to investigate the effect of 3d printing on cell differentiation
**flourescent microscopy**
sequential experiment
4 weeks timeline (they get data)


1. focus on immunohistochemistry portion in chemistry (Advanced and AP)
2. synthesis and extarction of organic compounds

Mesquite tree diversity in el paso
-leaf microbiome investigation

- Sample collection 
- collecting leaves and storing in whirlpack bags, then frozen
- DNA extraction using Qiagen soil kit
- PCR of 16s rRNA gene 
- 16s metagenomics, fITS



- What will we be physically doing in the lab?
- What are some overarching concepts that this research touches?

## Fall Plans

- What is the course that this activity will be implemented in?
- To support the development of what learning outcome?
- What expectations will you have of your students and how will these be measured?

## Let's get some ideas down on paper

### Using the Hack Pad
Please use this space collaboratively and feel free to write in it at any time. If you are interested in learning some tips and tricks for getting fancy with the formatting, I have added a link to a cheat sheet for the coding language this is written in (markdown). Of course, the buttons at the top of the page do that for you, just be sure that the little icon in the top left is set to edit (the little pencil) or book view. So really just not the eye.
