Tested Studies in Laboratory Teaching, 1998, Volume 19

Abstract

This session presented one of 120 low-cost, easy to manage labs focused on cutting-edge, environmental research that were developed by faculty in partnership with research scientists through an NABT grant (NSF/ESI 9155206). Lab topics include allelopathy, animal behavior, tropisms, pollution, and plant tissue culture. The goals of this project are to improve the quality of biology laboratory instruction and to increase student understanding of and enthusiasm for the process of science.
