This project was prepared as part of a BioQUEST faculty development workshop entitled BioQUEST 2004 Summer Workshop for Undergraduate Faculty: Systems Biology at Beloit College in June 2004. The BioQUEST Curriculum Consortium is committed to the reform of undergraduate biology instruction through an emphasis on engaging students in realistic scientific practices. This approach is sometimes characterized as an inquiry driven approach and is captured in BioQUEST's three P's (problem-posing, problem-solving, and peer-persuasion). As part of this workshop groups of faculty were encouraged to initiate innovative curricular projects. We are sharing these works in progress in the hope that they will stimulate further exploration, collaboration and development. Please see the following links for additional information:

A discussion of change thru time, using a series of maps of campus, described by metophors from biology. In this PowerPoint presentation maps of the Beloit campus are used, however any series of maps showing development thru time would be appropriate: eg. an urban downtown, a college campus, etc.
PowerPoint presentation using data from published maps, gps, digital camera images, and historic archives. Links are possible to ecn.purdue.edu website relating to runoff in evolving landscapes.
