Students will be given hands-on, valuable, lab experiences. Each lab will incorporate scientific inquiry through problem based learning by allowing my students to research their own questions, construct hypotheses, conduct their own experiments, and present their findings to their peers. To understand respiration and photosynthesis, I would use Volumeter/Respirometer devices which are for measuring minute changes in gas volume within a closed system. Each lab group can explore their own curiosities using mealworms, germinating peas or plants to measure oxygen consumption. They are guided through procedures and are given the opportunity to 鈥渇ail鈥 in their labs but are demonstrating the critical thinking needed to investigate a problem from inception through conclusion, which I believe is a greater success than following a script.
