These resources were compiled as part of an Independent Study project in science education conducted under the supervision of Prof. J. E. Armstrong.
Project Completion: July 1993
The following entries are from books, journals, and microfiche and provide many ways in which simple, inexpensive laboratories may be run. Using the information provided below, you may locate the article and prepare an activity that has been shown to provide useful learning in the secondary classroom. It is the intention of this project to provide only resource and helpful citations to teachers interested in performing successful laboratories. These resources were compiled in preparation for student teaching, and having done the work, these citations are made available to teachers without access to ERIC and other educational databases, and to save others from having to make similar searches.

American Biology Teacher, Vol 53 n6 p354-8 Sept 1991. ABSTRACT: This article presents an suggestion for the use of student dietary intake as a way to study nutrition and/or digestion. Students keep track of their eating habits for three days and arrange foods into categories specified by the authors. This plan does not use the four basic food groups, but the newer use of protein, vegetables, cerials, fruits, milk, and miscellaneous. Each of the food groups is broken-down into point values--maximum, per serving and extra credit. This allows students to analyze their own eating and learn about the food groups, too. Students are then able to make suggestions to improve their scores in each category.

ABSTRACT: This module provides information on: (1) the nature of health and nutrition; (2) the nature of vitamins; (3) general characteristics of fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins; (4) the source and major role of several vitamins (vitamins C, B, D, E, and K) as well as deficiences that arise from their oversupply, or insufficiency; and (5) ways of preserving the vitamin content in raw food. Also included are several laboratory activities (listing materials needed and procedures used), questions to answer, a glossary, and a short list of references.

ABSTRACT: This curriculum guide consists of seven packets of material for use in teaching a course on body structure and function. Addressed in the individual sections are the following topics: the digestive system; the buccal cavity; the gastrointestinal system; the intestines; the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas; the digestion of food, and the absorption of nutrients. Each section contains an introduction; a list of objectives; a list of procedures for students to follow when completing the lesson; an informational assignment; one or more information sheets; one or more activity sheets; a student evaluation; and a detailed lesson plan that includes lesson objectives, a list of supplementary teaching and learning items needed, references, an introduction to the lesson, a detailed outline of information to be covered during the lesson, interaction items, classroom and laboratory activities, evaluation items, and answer keys to the student evaluation and activities.

ABSTRACT: This article gives a suggestion for a model of the blood. Some students have a difficult time with the notion that blood is not a red liquid, but a straw colored liquid with red cells in it. In this model cells and platelets were made from colored modeling clay and suspended in plasma made of lemon flavored jelly. The author also suggests using the cells, which are made in sizes relative to the other blood components, for such topics as osmosis and selective permiability.
