Direct linkHodgson, Ted; Andersen, Lyle; Robison-Cox, Jim; Jones, Clain – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2004
Water quality experiments, especially the use of macroinvertebrates as indicators of water quality, offer an ideal context for connecting statistics and science. In the STAR program for secondary students and teachers, water quality experiments were also used as a context for teaching statistics. In this article, we trace one activity that uses…

Peer reviewedTatina, Robert – American Biology Teacher, 1998
Describes two simple laboratory exercises that allow students to test hypotheses concerning the requirement of cell energy for osmosis. The first exercise involves osmotically-caused changes in the length of potato tubers and requires detailed quantitative observations. The second exercise involves osmotically-caused changes in turgor of Elodea…
