However, the lab could be scaled up with anadditional GC, more shaker table space, and the assistance of teaching assistants.The laboratory class in which this experimental procedure was designed is a 3.0-credit, lab-basedcourse that takes place at Stanford University once every two years and focuses on current topicsin applied microbiology. Each class is unique; therefore no student assessment data is currentlyavailable.

The fisheries category is used to relate the concepts of population, resourcesand consumption to rockfish, oysters, crab and shad populations in the watershed and Bay. Thehabitat is used to discuss land use, and development and the relationship between land use andenvironmental impacts, which leads into the pollutants in the watershed. Instructors help byproviding definitions of the pollutant categories shown in the report card, which include:nitrogen/phosphorus, dissolved oxygen, water clarity, and toxics.Participants work with

Perhaps the reason whysuch a small number of students get a perfect score on this AP is that the statements provided bythe AP are broad and some may be misunderstood.Table 3 – Percentage of students that marked statements as related to the greenhouse effect.Correct statements are indicated with an asterisk.
