Freshwater sponges as indicators of water
pollution: an investigative undergraduate lab
Malcolm S. Hill and April L. Hill
"Specifically, the focus of this laboratory module is
on the effect that chemicals of environmental concern (e.g., endocrine
disruptors) have on sponge growth and development."

Maggie Haag
"The ABLE Lab Initiative Grants Committee invites proposals
for grants of up to $2000 to develop and implement lab initiatives."
Why not make a game of it?
William Beachly
"Students need to be challenged to think outside the
familiar formats, and motivated to apply what they have learned in a non-threatening
environment. That is why I make games for many of my biology courses."
