Today: Begin ELISA Lab 
Here we will learn the background information we need about normal elephant reproduction

Posted in Google Classroom (Unit 2 Task 3)

Students will explore how the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research has contributed to the recovery effort of the vulnerable African
elephant. Reproductive endocrinology research will be highlighted, with students exploring and utilizing a
mock competitive ELISA as a tool to diagnose reproductive state of our female elephants. After conducting their
investigations, students will analyze, graph, and share their results, culminating with applying their knowledge to
make recommendations for a mock managed care breeding program.
