Taxonomy of Cognitive Educational Objectives. The taxonomy is hierarchical: 1. Knowledge – ability to recall previously learned material. 2. Comprehension - ability to grasp the meaning of the material; ability to explain, summarize, predict consequences.

Taxonomy of Cognitive Educational Objectives. The taxonomy is hierarchical: 1. Knowledge – ability to recall previously learned material. 2. Comprehension - ability to grasp the meaning of the material; ability to explain, summarize, predict consequences. 3. Application – ability to use material in new situations. 4. Analysis – ability to break down material into component parts, recognize organizing principles. 5. Synthesis – ability to put parts together to form a new whole. 6. Evaluation – ability to judge the value of material based on definite criteria. Knowledge is the lowest level of learning; Evaluation is the highest
1. Method 2. Hypothesis 3. Testable predictions 4. Skepticism 5. Progressive enterprise: Verification/Falsifiability 6. Destination/Journey
Science moves forward as much by critiquing the conclusions of others, as by making novel discoveries Stephen J. Gould

Summary • Bacteria move by rotating flagella • CW: tumbling; CCW: running • Chemotaxis pathway • MCPs: receive the chemical signals • CheA: sensor, kinase; • CheR: methylation; CheB: demethylation • CheY: RR, interacts with flagella motor • CheY+P: CW; CheY-P: CCW • CheZ: dephosphorylation • Phenotypes of ∆che mutants • ∆cheA,Y,R: smooth swimming; ∆cheB,Z: tumbling
