This laboratory is useful for teaching students about the relationship between scientific research and practical applications. Developed by Edward Alcamo. Grades 9-12. -- Includes: stain, grater, wax paper, yeast, non-iodized salt, microscope slides, thermometers, droppers, toothpicks, and a teacher’s guide with background information. |
