School Board Recognizes Teachers and Students
Dunbar and ALPS students Taylor Cheatham, Itzany Mendez, Ramon Santos and Brian Varela are both science investigators and podcasters. Thanks to teachers Helen Rentz, Jordan Osinski and Joan Howell, as well as John Kain(Instructor Technology), these student podcasters had the opportunity to work with Dr.Biology in the ASU School of Life Sciences.
The students selected different topics to investigate including farms, desert plants, bird feathers and cancer. These students are winners of the first "Ask a Biologist" podcast contest, and they were chosen based on their vocal skills, curiosity and creativity by the panel of judges.
As director of technology integration and outreach in the ASU School of Life Sciences, Dr. Biology created "Ask a Biologist," the innovative K-12 children's science education Web site, to provide answers to the puzzled, perplexed and just plain curious. As its host Dr. Biology, a Web persona created by Charles Kazilek, he has interpreted more than 20,000 queries in the last 10year. Visit http://www.askabiologist.asu.edu to hear the podcasts.

Third Grade Team Building Activity
There were the Orange birds and the Brown birds that lived on separate islands (outlined with masking tape). The premise was that they eat different types of food and had consumed all of the food on their island and needed to fly (so to speak) to the other island, where there was more food for them to survive.
