This lab activity is about toxic substances like pesticides and their effects on biological systems. The activity starts with an introduction of how birds sequester calcium to make an egg.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Garbology Activity), learners will prepare sheets of homemade recycled paper from several different source pulps.

Using zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha), elodea and an indicator dye, learners study the role of light in photosynthesis.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.

In this activity, learners use coverslips to collect organisms from a pond, estuary or marine environment and then examine what they have caught with a microscope.

The purpose of this lab is to recognize that the answers to some of society's industrial challenges may lie right in our own backyards.
