This award provides funds for the purchase of equipment in the                  department of Botany at the University of Maryland, College Park.               A four week laboratory sequence will be developed in General                    Biology for undergraduate Science Majors which will challenge                   students with experimental design, hypothesis testing,                          observation, measurement, and data analysis and interpretation.                 Further, this unique experimental approach will provide students                with an opportunity to work with sophisticated instrumentation at               the introductory level, including phase contrast microscopes,                   spectrophotometers, centrifuges, and microcomputers.  The                       laboratory sequence will included the kinetic analysis of glucose               transport in yeast and an examination of yeast cell structure                   utilizing phase contrast, darkfield, and scanning and                           transmission electron microscopy.  The grantee institution is                   matching this NSF award with funds from non-Federal sources.
