Animation/Interactive Activities
QuickTime player required
Flash Player is required
Plate Streaking: My first attempt at animation; built entirely with Adobe Photoshop and Image Ready. Created for Susan Galindo to illustrate streaking a petri dish (plate) for online students. This animation is currently being rebuilt using Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Flash. Currently under construction to accompany this animation is an interactive activity for online students to try streaking a plate. Using the Flash activity, students will be able to use their mouse as an inoculation loop to streak a virtual plate.
Pipetting: An interactive activity created for Susan Galindo to illustrate proper pipetting techniques, give a basic overview of calibration procedures, and offer an interactive review for online students.
Online Cultures: A Flash slideshow created for Susan Galindo to showcase her creation and implementation of an online plate reading activity for distance learning students.
Electrophoresis Lab Exercises: Interactive activities created for Susan Galindo to give chemistry students the opportunity to interpret data from electrophoresis gels and densitometer tracings.
Interactive Standards of Procedure: An interactive form of the laboratory SOPs for students to review.
Blood Gases Lab Exercises: Interactive simulations created for Susan Galindo allowing chemistry students the chance to step-through the process of analyzing blood samples and interpreting the results.
Measuring Glucose: This activity illustrates the use of a spectrophotometer to measure and analyze glucose levels. Spectrophotometers are used in laboratories for measuring light intensity at different wavelengths. There are numerous laboratory tests that use the spectrophotometer and these online exercises allow distance learning students to gather and analyze data without having to travel to a lab. The online simulation not only offers the opportunity for as many students as possible to run it as many times as they need to understand the principles behind the tests, but also minimizes costs while providing consistent and controlled results.
hCG Tests: These interactive activities give students the opportunity to step-through the process of pregnancy testing using hCG kits.
Ongoing Projects
Links will be made available as projects are completed
Drug Screen Activities
Drug screening kits are used in the clinical lab setting to test for specific drugs. These activities give students the opportunity to step-through the test process and also read the results correctly without having to travel to lab or use specimens or materials.
Smooth Muscle Simulation
This activity will show the effects of different drugs on smooth muscle.
Hemocytometer Activities
Hemocytometers (or hemacytometers) are used in laboratories for counting cells.
These online activities will allow distance learning students to practice counting different types of cells without having to travel to a lab.
