Miles, Rhea; Misra, Shinjini; Miles, Kyra; Doherty, Caroline – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2019
Many students consume energy drinks without knowing or thinking about the adverse side effects. The purpose of this article is to share student procedures and results after testing the effects of a popular energy drink, Red Bull, on Dugesia Dorotocephala planarians (flatworms). Planarians are animals with neurotransmitters systems that are similar…
