<p style="margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">This Education Transfer Plan was developed through a Research Experience for Teachers program funded by the National Science Foundation Directorate for Biological Sciences, where teachers conducted summer research in biology laboratories. This Unit Plan was developed within the context of the teacher’s project “Argentine ant chemical profiles vary by location on Stanford campus<span style="white-space:pre-wrap">” working in the </span><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">O’Connell Lab</span><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> at Stanford University.
