| 1 | <p><em>The Serengeti Rules</em> by Sean B. Carroll (2016) describes how the principles of regulation operate across cellular, physiological, and ecological scales to govern the operation of biological systems. As a small working group, we collected examples of scientific studies with data-based figures that illustrated the principle of double-negative logic in regulation. Double-negative logic is described by Carroll as the indirect positive interaction between two components in a system, where the negative impact of component A on B and the negative impact of component B on C results in a positive indirect effect of A on C. </p> | 1 | <p>On the first day of class, students are placed in groups of 3 - 4 students to introduce themselves, examine one of the figure sets provided, and answer the guiding questions. They are given index cards to write down the answers to their icebreaker questions, and each card has a number for the students to regroup after completing the first task. The second group should contain at least one person from each figure, and the students compare the data and share the conclusions made by their previous group. In doing so, they should realize that the pathways are similar for each of the data sets, despite the differences in scale. The powerpoint is used to guide the timing and discussion of the activity. The cards are collected at the end to provide the instructor information about each student. </p> |

| 3 | <p>After building a collection of studies, we developed data points (figure interpretation activities) for our classrooms that illustrated this principle. These have been organized as individual adaptions of this central investigative work. </p> | ||
