Saturday, June 15th, 2013 at 9:00 am 5K Run & 1 Mile Run/Walk Registration forms are available in the Kohler School Ofce or online at www.kohlerschoolfriends.com Kohler students complete biotechnology and molecular biology curriculum College Prep Biology students at Kohler High School have recently completed the biotechnology com- ponent of the biology curriculum. Biotechnology is the technology of using living things to create useful products. Biotechnology has historically been used in the making of bread, wine, soap, the treatment of waste, and the pro- duction of cheese. Selective breeding of agricultural animals and selective practices in crop planting have occurred for hun- dreds of years. Biotechnology has changed due to the advancements of technologies such as computers and software in the 1970s to in- clude the development of human insulin for the treatment of dia- betes, human growth hormone for children, and identification of spe- cific genes responsible for genetic disorders, and in some cases treat- ment for those disorders. College Prep Biology students learn and then use the steps neces- sary to move a gene from one or- ganism to another. The process involves the isolation of plasmid DNA, using endonuclease restric- tion enzymes to cut DNA at spe- cific sites in the DNA sequence, ligation of the plasmid fragments, transformation of bacteria, prepa- ration and casting of agarous gel, electrophoresis of restriction en- zyme digested DNA, staining, viewing, and photographing the gel, and learning the process by which scientists determine DNA fragment size. Ask any College Prep Biology student for more in- formation on this experiment. They will be happy to share details of their successful experience! Tommy Xiong and Hannah Cantrell Leigh Schlecht and Rebecca Stock Village of Kohler seeking to fill open Trustee position Due to a vacancy on the Kohler Village Board there is an opening for a Village Trustee.

His unit is responsi- ble for training the Afghan Border Police (ABP). Five students selected to participate in Trees for Tomorrow This fall five students were se- lected to participate in the high school program at Trees For To- morrow. TFT is an independent, nonprofit, natural resource special- ity school. Students selected in- cluded; Andrew Bryce, Megan Conklin, Katie Lindow, Katie Ru- elle, and Sarah Sutherland. The trip lasted from November fourth through the seventh. Throughout the trip students took courses and participated in many fun, educational activities such as archery, compass and GPS navigation, tree identification, an- imal classification, wolf behavior, and survival skills. Everyday, stu- dents take a course about a specific skill and then go on a hike and practice the skill on their own. One of their favorite activities was navigating with compasses and GPS units. The students said that Trees For Tomorrow was an awesome expe- rience that taught them a lot of in- teresting things about the environment and nature. Trees for Tomorrow is a Wisconsin environ- mental tradition, offering pro- grams, workshops, and special interest classes to students since 1944. TFT provides participants an opportunity that none forget. TFT is a natural resource educa- tion program that gives its partici- pants a better understanding of resource conservation and man- agement. The program especially focuses on the forest ecosystem and the environmental relation- ships that the ecosystem entails. The programs present a balanced variety of perspectives on natural resource topics so that participants can develop informed decisions on wise management of our re- sources. Kohler High School has selected many students over the years to participate in this once in a life-time opportunity. This year is no exception. Scholarships for the fall 2012 trip were provided by the Sheboygan County Conserva- tion Association and Kohler Com- pany.

Students and their teachers across the globe are in charge of collecting and sharing data with other scientists and programs. Students in over 112 countries participate in GLOBE data collection led by over 58,000 trained teachers. The Kohler GLOBE Program is among 24,000 other schools that also collect data across the globe. Over 1.5 million stu- dents have contributed more than 23 million measurements to the GLOBE database. The GLOBE program in Kohler is made up of students in College Prep Biology and General Biology. These stu- dents share the responsibilities of collecting and recording at- mospheric data every school day. Upper classmen in College Prep Chemistry, AP Biology, and College Prep Physics con- tribute to the collection of hy- drology data during the fall and spring. These students make up Kohlers Testing the Waters Team. The atmospheric data col- lected by students in GLOBE is entered onto an international web-site data base. Students enter measurements like high and low temperatures, amounts of precipitation and pH, cloud type, and relative humidity. When combined with other data presented by students and teachers throughout countries around the world, scientists can interpret and observe changes in the environment. Overall, this program allows every par- ticipating student, teacher, and scientist to track and learn more about our constantly changing environment. 2012/2013 GLOBE Partici- pants: Marisa Adams, Dominic Bocchini, Andrew Bryce, Han- nah Cantrell, Megan Conklin, Marilyn Guesneau, Lily Hart, Berta Hidri, Audra Hoffmann, Aidan Hogan, Kaleigh Kraft, Annika Lee, Katie Lindow, Katie Ruelle, Connor Sbrocco, Joe Schmitt, Carson Schneider, Hannah Smith, Levi Smith, Re- becca Stock, Cameron Scheuren, Sarah Sutherland, and John Tengowski.

Revised AP Biology course has students conduct biotechnology investigations The College Board has revised the AP Biology course into a course that focuses on enduring, conceptual un- derstandings and the content that sup- ports them. This approach may enable students to spend less time on factual recall and more time on inquiry-based learning of essential concepts and bet- ter help them to develop the reasoning skills necessary to engage in science practices. This redesigned curriculum will also provide students the experi- ences necessary to design a plan for collecting data, analyzing data, apply- ing mathematical routines, and con- necting concepts. One area of the new curriculum, Big Idea 3 Genetics and Information Transfer, has students conduct two biotechnology investiga- tions. One investigation is a bacterial transformation in which Kohler stu- dents transformed E. coli with an ampicillin resistance gene which was fused with the GFP (green fluorescent protein). The resultant ampicillin re- sistant bacterial colonies were grown on an ampicillin plate and exhibited fluorescent properties with an ultravi- olet light source. The second investi- gation had Kohler students complete a restriction enzyme analysis of DNA then calculate the sizes of restriction enzyme fragment length and create a standard curve.
