Peer reviewedBrett, William J. – American Biology Teacher, 1979
Presents experiments to introduce students to the phenomenon of biological rhythmicity and to reinforce the fact that there are differences in the physiology of human beings. (Author/MA)
Descriptors: Biology, Instructional Materials, Laboratory Experiments, Physiology
Peer reviewedMertens, Thomas R. – American Biology Teacher, 1976
A laboratory experiment that involves solving problems with conflicting evidence or inconsistent data. The experiment gives students opportunities to reason as scientists. (EB)

Peer reviewedPrescott, Carolyn; And Others – Educational Leadership, 1996
The Applications in Biology/Chemistry (ABC) curriculum is a real-world approach designed for the middle 50% of secondary students who may not learn in a predominantly abstract way. Stressing contextual and cooperative learning, ABC features 10 laboratory exercises and other hands-on, problem-solving activities involving visits to job sites and…

Peer reviewedJesberg, Robert O.; Dowden, Edward – Science Teacher, 1986
Explains how computer and game port interfacing reduces the time required for data collection and organization and also stimulates student interest in science laboratory exercises. Illustrates this approach through a description of a population-variation lab. Includes diagrams for the construction of the interface box. (ML)

Peer reviewedLumpe, Andrew T.; Scharmann, Lawrence C. – School Science and Mathematics, 1991
The results of an in-depth analysis of the lab activities found in two popular high school biology textbooks are presented. Activities were rated against 24 task categories that parallel skills or behaviors which reflect scientific inquiry, problem-solving skills, manipulative skills, and observational skills. (25 references) (KR)

Peer reviewedKirschner, Paul A. – Science and Education, 1992
Discusses the inherent flaws in considering and using the epistemology of the natural sciences as equivalent to a pedagogic basis for teaching and learning in the natural sciences. Discusses the difference between practicing science and learning to practice science. Concludes with the presentation of three new motives for the use of laboratory…
