"Introduction"
states the goal and objectives of Worm Classroom
including frequently asked questions. |
| About
C. elegans |
Why is C. elegans
studied? This section illustrates the characteristics
of C. elegans that make it an ideal model organism
as well as the similarities between C. elegans and
other organisms. |
| C.
elegans Research |
What questions are being
studied using C. elegans and what are the research
tools being used in pursuit of answers to these problems?
C. elegans experimental methodology and practices are
identified and explained in this section. |
| C.
elegans People |
Who is working with
what? A select list of C. elegans researchers
and educators can be found along with links to their representative
web sites. |
| C.
elegans Education |
C. elegans is beginning to emerge as a powerful
learning tool. This page illustrates the characteristics that
make it a good model teaching organism and lists the results
of a survey of currently used C. elegans curricula.
Instructional materials developed using C. elegans
research resources can be found here. WormClassroom
glossary list can be found here as well.

Instructional Materials
The
application of C. elegans research resources to education
is categorized into four fields of study below.
|
| Cell
Biology |
What is the study of cell
biology, developmental biology, genetics or evolutionary biology?
What questions are being pursued and how are they solved? Example
research, sample research questions, research methodology, list
of researchers and instructional materials
are presented in these four areas of study.
For neuroscience: contribution is needed. |
