The film will introduce audiences to cutting-edge scientific research through a topic that already captures their imagination and will use visually exciting scenes to present the science behind predator/prey relations. A preliminary conceptual structure, general approach and potential storyline have already been developed. The planning phase will include the following activities: -Further define the conceptual structure of the film -Conduct preproduction/front-end audience research -Refine the approaches to the film based on feedback from front-end research -Plan educational resources -Conduct a front-end survey of large-format film theaters to evaluate the title, approach and relevance of proposed educational resources. -Draft a film treatment The principals for the project bring a background of filmmaking and science. Christopher Palmer, President and CEO, National Wildlife Productions (NWP), will serve as Executive Producer for the film. Educational resources will be designed by Jim Stofan, Vice President, Education, NWP; and the Chief Science Consultant will be Sterling Miller, Senior Wildlife Biologist, NWP. Treatments and scripts will be written by Mose Richards and evaluation will be conducted by Robert Russell. A committee of scientists and science educators will help guide the project during the planning phase. Show summary Hide summary	0.903
2004 — 2007	Adams, Earle Smith, Garon [⬀] Palmer, Christopher	N/AActivity Code Description: No activity code was retrieved: click on the grant title for more information	Introduction of Gc/Ms Throughout the Undergraduate Curriculum @ University of Montana Chemistry (12) The Department of Chemistry is acquiring a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer that is dedicated to hands-on learning experiences for students at all levels. Intellectual Merit Introductory general education students are observing demonstrations and collecting and analyzing data. The instrument is incorporated into the chemistry major in a spiral curriculum: chemistry majors use the instrument in ever more sophisticated experiments as courses progress from lower division organic chemistry to senior research projects. In a systematic sequence of experiments, students use the instrument to identify reaction products, quantify contaminant levels, elucidate reaction mechanisms, assay product purity and determine isotopic abundances of heavy metals. Experiments are being adapted from the educational literature in order to design a careful progression of experiences that expose students to the wide range of types of problems that can be investigated with the help of results obtained from a GC/MS. The instrument also is supporting development of undergraduate programs in environmental chemistry and forensic science and is enhancing outreach activities to local high schools and to tribal colleges in Montana, again by adapting experiments from the educational literature and from EPA protocols. Broader Impacts This project involves curricular improvements for non-science majors, chemistry majors, and other science majors, and includes components directed at student recruitment and outreach to high school students and teachers. A significant part of our recruitment of new majors dovetails with our outreach to regional high school teachers who supervise student research projects utilizing GC/MS. Many of the high school projects deal with local issues and help portray the service role of the university to the community. Use of the instrument in an REU program is enhancing research experiences for Native Americans and underrepresented students. The instrument is important to the development of undergraduate concentrations in environmental and forensic science within the chemistry major. The forensic science program is addressing national and regional needs for trained forensic scientists. Experiments and experiences with the introductory programs, outreach programs, spiral curriculum and new concentrations will be widely disseminated, enabling adaptation and implementation of project results in other institutions.

2007 — 2010	Palmer, Christopher Adams, Earle Ceballos, Ruben	N/AActivity Code Description: No activity code was retrieved: click on the grant title for more information	Improving Undergraduate Chemistry Laboratory Education Using Modern, Rapid Spectrophotometers. @ University of Montana Chemistry (12) UV/Vis and UV/Vis/fluorescence microplate readers, instruments that have been used mostly for research and industrial applications, are used to improve the core undergraduate chemistry curriculum. The project comprehensively explores the advantages of these instruments for enhancement of the chemistry curriculum. Laboratory exercises that demonstrate general spectroscopy concepts with both mechanically simple, conventional spectrophotometers and the microplate readers are developed for use at all levels of chemistry courses. One advantage of the microplate reader is the rapid generation of large amounts of data. Students now spend more time on interpretation and presentation of data, skills that translate to all areas of math and science. These instruments are ideally suited for introducing chemical, biochemical, and analytical spectroscopy applications in large enrollment lower division classes and they also provide many advantages for the upper-division laboratory classes and undergraduate research projects. One additional UV/Vis/fluorescence microplate reader is housed at Salish Kootenai College, a Native American Tribal College, to support and enhance ongoing collaborations, including a biochemistry course and undergraduate research. Successful demonstration of the advantages of the proposed instrumentation has a significant impact on how various concepts and methodologies are taught. The instruments are affordable for many institutions, thereby addressing broader impacts and suggesting that the successful pedagogical approaches developed in this project can be adapted nationally.

2011 — 2014	Palmer, Christopher Degrandpre, Michael (co-PI) [⬀] Adams, Earle Smirnov, Valeriy Bolstad, David (co-PI) [⬀]	N/AActivity Code Description: No activity code was retrieved: click on the grant title for more information	Separating Science From Fiction: Introducing Liquid Chromatography in An Undergraduate Laboratory Curriculum @ University of Montana The major goal of the project is to provide chemistry and biochemistry students with the fundamental understanding and practical experience necessary to be successful in their future careers. One effective means for doing this is through introduction of modern chemical instrumentation early and throughout the chemistry and biochemistry curricula. This project develops laboratory exercises of increasing sophistication that utilize four liquid chromatography systems with varying capabilities. Chromatography is an important enabling instrumental method that is used in various forms across the chemical and biochemical disciplines for a wide variety of applications, including pharmaceutical, food, environmental and biomedical analyses and studies. The exercises begin with illustrative bench top exercises and culminate with hands-on experience. Exercises of increasing sophistication are being implemented in laboratories at all levels of the curriculum, such that students who complete the curriculum have a strong working knowledge of this important technology. An important aspect of this project is the implementation of liquid chromatography exercises in large-enrollment laboratory courses like those taught at most intermediate or large universities. This is accomplished through early instruction using illustrative bench top exercises and through application of multiple state-of-the-art yet affordable separations instruments that allow fast separations. The project is also introducing the technology to local high school science teachers through workshops. In addition, high school students that utilize the instrumentation are being supported to attend local and regional science fairs. Show summary Hide summary	0.964
