We present here lesson plans for teaching the dynamical systems topic of iteration of functions and (attractive and repelling) xed points from three existing pedagogical viewpoints in practice: constructivism, socio{cultural theory and interactionism. In each lesson plan, it is suggested that the topic can be taught using algebraic, geometrical and computational tools.

Undergraduates commonly harbor alternate conceptions about evolutionary biology; these alternate conceptions often persist, even after intensive instruction, and may influence acceptance of evolution. We interviewed undergraduates to explore their alternate conceptions about macroevolutionary patterns and designed a 2-h lesson plan to present evidence that life has evolved. We identified three ...

BACKGROUND School visits to farms are a positive educational experience but pose risks due to the spread of zoonotic infections.
