I've only scratched the surfaces here; mainly idea fragments & initial research.
| Item | Lab investigation | Brief description | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1a | Molecules made manifest | Explorations demonstrating H-bonding, polarity, hydrophobicity | water, oil, surface tension, charge |
| 5 | Tabletop photosynthesis demo: O2 | Link goes offsite to wonderful 'Exploring Life' page Extension using food coloring to filter light to test efficacy of limited wavelengths will 'one day' be posted |
photosynthesis, oxygen, protocol |
| 7 | Milk, food coloring, detergent | This one is much richer than generally taken for | Resources |
| 7 | Daphnia | I've only cultured them (they're robust!), but there are hemoglobin & evolution ideas | Resources |
| 9 | Pineapple chunks vs. milk, jello | Enzymes, assays, inhibitors | Resources |
| 11 | Balance bands | Enabling students to discover experimental design, controls | Resources |
