THE MONTY HALL CARD GAME

Behind one closed door is a car, and behind the other two are grumpy hippopotami. The game show host asks the contestant to choose one of the doors to open; the contestant will get to keep whatever is behind it. After the door has been chosen, the host opens one of the other two to reveal a hippopotamus. He then asks if the contestant wants to change their mind and pick the other door. Assuming the preference is to go home with a car, rather than a bulky river-dwelling mammal, should they change or not? Your students can find out for themselves by playing the card game and, in the process, learn more about probability.

SUSTAINABILITY: FLOATING HOUSES

After exploring the living conditions of people living around/on Cambodia’s Tonle Sap Lake, students are split into groups and challenged to design and construct a floating structure using simple materials (e.g. cardboard, ping pong ball, recycled materials, string). Students compete to see which group can design a ‘house’ to hold the most ‘people’ (marbles) before sinking. Discussions for this activity will focus on cost, climate, buoyancy/density of objects, accessibility of knowledge and materials, appropriate technology and more.

This session aims to educate students about the basics of a sand/gravel water filter, as well as the concept of humanitarian engineering (how developing countries adapt to create appropriate technologies to suit their communities’ needs). The class will be split up into groups of approximately 4-5 students, and each group will represent a different country. The ‘countries’ are given instructions and ‘funds’ which will be used to build the sand filter. Developing countries may seek further funding/knowledge/materials from developed nations or find alternative ways to build an equally efficient filter with limited resources. The winner is the group who produces the best working filter (i.e. most effectively cleans dirty/muddy water).

Microscopy, in its many forms, is the single most powerful technique available to view cells and bacteria. People skilled in microscopy are sought after to work in both clinical and research laboratories. In this laboratory exercise, heat-fixed smears of yoghurt culture are stained to reveal the bacteria used to produce commercially available yoghurt. Since bacteria are typically not visible to the naked eye, a compound light microscope is used to view the cell morphology of the bacteria. When viewed using oil immersion at 1000 x total magnification, the size and shape of the stained bacteria is easily seen.

Biology


Microscopy, in its many forms, is the single most powerful technique available to view cells and bacteria. People skilled in microscopy are sought after to work in both clinical and research laboratories. In this laboratory exercise, heat-fixed smears of yoghurt culture are stained to reveal the bacteria used to produce commercially available yoghurt. Since bacteria are typically not visible to the naked eye, a compound light microscope is used to view the cell morphology of the bacteria. When viewed using oil immersion at 1000 x total magnification, the size and shape of the stained bacteria is easily seen.
