I did a potato lab instead - never did this one.†
Potato lab
Students did a hands on experiment at home with a piece of potato or other starchy vegetable.† Produced was cubed and placed in water of various types of salinity.† Students provided initial prediction of the physical changes in the produce.† They then waited a set period of time; analyzed the results of the water/produce test and compiled data.† Students then composed a conclusion.†
†
†Biomolecules Lab
Students test contaminated water for presence of various biomolecules. (very interactive to the point where student can dump beaker water; stir with a stick; over add activation chemical.)†
Lab Report expected with prediction; data collected and conclusion.†

†Photosynthesis lab
Students manipulate amount of light and color of light in a simulation to grow a plant.
