AstroBiology Engineering Course
The Gilroy Collaboratory Educational Experience
Below are a range of different educational and research tools along with video's and animations putting them in a AstroBiology context.
This educational program is still under development and we welcome collaborators.
Answer this AstroBotany questionnaire and become a member of our distributed research team!
It contains a range of different educational and research related questions that will help you develop the critical skills required to become a AstroBiologist.
Feel free to test these materials with your class. If the link below does work then please use this pop out option that will launch into a new tab in your browser.
Biological questions considered by astrobotanists
How do you imagine the environment influences biology at molecular level?
How do you imagine gene expression changes might affect cellular function?
How might cells communicate with each other over long distances?
How might tissues and organs be affected by changes in gravity or increase radiation?
Explore this (or any other) 3D model of a cell, find your favorite organelle (Mitochondria, plastids, ER, etc. ) and take a photo(s) of it.
Use the button below to launch ImageJ and then try to measure the size of your organelle.
