ASTEMA Learning Modules with Homework

Learning modules for the academic year webinars.

Pay attention:

1) The order of webinars may be different from the order in which the modules are presented on the web page. Look at your schedule and find the correct one.

Materials and assignments to use during summer traveling camp.

This is a developing module. It will be populated periodically, but only used during summer camp. Note that only part of workshops have pre- or post- workshop assignments for workshops during the summer camp. If you see them - must be submitted 24 hours prior to workshop and 24 hours after the workshop. If you do not see it - instead, you will be updating your weekly progress report and power point for the final presentation weekly with all activities, assignments and summaries of all activities.

Phytochemical Screening Workshop

This lab is scheduled as a “spare” lab, in case any of your workshops during the summer camp end earlier than expected. In such a case, your TA will take you to the lab, and you will perform part of the procedure below, as much as time allows. Next time you get some spare time, you will continue from where you stopped the previous time until the entire procedure is completed. Once completed, you will have to submit your report to Dr. Volkis.
