2 Ultra Violet Radiation and Yeast: Radiation Biology Alissa Keil NES Education Specialist Oklahoma State University NASA Johnson Space Center
3 Subject Areas Grade Level 9-12 Subject Area Biology
4 National Standards Life Science Matter, energy an organization in living systems Science in personal and social perspectives Natural and Induced hazards
5 What do students need to know? Understand that DNA contains the instructions for proper cell function DNA can be changed Skin cancer and other adverse health effects can be caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation Sun protection factor (SPF) ratings on sunscreens
6 Learning Objectives Students will be able to: Discuss the counter measures for UV radiation Describe phenotypic changes in yeast as a result of radiation damage.
7 Radiation Biology Educator Guide
8 Biological Effects of Radiation Damage in Yeast Radiation Biology Educator Guide ule_2_11.pdf Space radiation s importance to NASA. Most effective method for preventing UV damage in yeast. Discussion questions for lab.
9 NASA eclips Our World: The Sun, A Real Star Our World: Radiation
10 Why is NASA studying biological effects of radiation? Keep astronauts safe Identify health risks Work to understand damage Develop countermeasures
11 Why does NASA study yeast in space? NASA uses yeast as a model system to explore the effects of radiation on cells. Just like human cells, most yeast cells effectively repair DNA damage caused by radiation.
12 How do scientists study biological change during spaceflight? Scientists develop space biology experiments in flight experiment ground control Analyze both to understand biological changes
13 Using Non Human Organisms to Understand Radiation Damage Study model organisms Small in size, large numbers studied in smaller volume Fruit flies many things in common with humans
14 Risks and Symptoms The biological effects of exposure vary with the dose.
15 What is radiation? Form of energy that is transmitted in the form of rays, electromagnetic waves and or particles Daily life- cell phones, microwaves, X- rays, light bulbs, heaters Natural Sun, radioactive elements in the Earth s Crust
16 What are the risks and symptoms of radiation exposure? Radioactive radon gas produced from the breakdown of uranium in the in the Earth s crust accounts for over half of the radiation exposure to the general public.
17 Radiation Types Non-ionizing Ionizing
18 What is DNA?
19 What is DNA s role in protein production? DNA is the storage unit for the information used to make proteins.
20 What kinds of damage occurs due to radiation? Single strand break, or SSB Double strand break, or DSB
21 Kinds of damage, continued Not immediately observable Some damage may not show up until much later
22 How does radiation affect us?
23 Harm to DNA
24 Earth s Protection Magnetic fields Atmosphere

33 Lesson in Detail Radiation Biology
34 Materials for lesson 1. Yeast-Extract Dextrose media plates (from kit, can also be made) 2. UV-sensitive yeast suspension in liquid media and wild type yeast suspension in liquid media 3. A source of UV radiation such as direct sunlight. 4. Several kinds of sunscreen (each with different SPF), black paper, cloth, metal foil, or other types of materials that can be used to experiment with UU shielding. 5. Sterile water, sterile pipettes, and sterile toothpicks 6. Plastic wrap (to cover plates)
35 Procedures 1. Ensure that your hands and the work area are clean. 2. plate the yeast suspension 3. Label the dish by drawing lines on the top and bottom of the dish to divide it into 4 parts 4. Spread sunscreen on the lid of the Petri dish (or on the plastic wrap) in the places you marked; use an equal amount in each section and spread the sunscreen evenly. You can also use plastic, foil, etc. instead of sunscreen.
36 Procedures continued 5. Expose Petri dish to sun or to UV light. 6. After the exposure, wipe the sunscreen off the lid of the Petri dish. Place the Petri dish upside down in an incubator or in a dark place and let it grow for 1-2 days in an incubator at 30 C or 3-4 days at room temperature. 7. If desired, repeat these steps with a wild type strain as a control for comparison. 8. Compare the amount of yeast that has grown in different areas of the Petri dish and draw conclusions.
37 Engagement Introduce video to students Generate discussion Why radiation biology? UV Radiation: How it affects life on Earth? Stimulate interest with the NASA connection.
38 Discussion Questions What are the effects of different types of sunscreen on yeast? How can health be affected by exposure to ultraviolet radiation? Why use yeast to study the effects of UV radiation? Does yeast grow less in some areas? More in others? Why?
39 Discussion Questions Did some sunscreen protect the yeast better than others? Does the UV pass through plastic wrap or petri dish covers? What can you conclude from the results of your experiment?

41 Extensions and Resources Radiation Biology
42 Extensions Make several plates with diluted yeast cultures and expose the yeast to sunlight at various times of day - every 2 hours. You can use the same period of exposure.
43 Extensions Expose the yeast for different durations at the same time of day, for example 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 minutes at a certain time.
44 Extensions Compare the different types of yeast strains for UV sensitivity. Obtain wild-type S. cerevisiae and culture this strain then plate out dilutions. Compare the sensitivity of the two to ultraviolet light from the sun.
