Heredity and Environment—Student Laboratory KitStudents investigate the age-old question of heredity vs. environment using albino tobacco seeds from heterozygous parents. Some seeds are germinated in light and others in the dark. Students must use data to defend heredity or environment. An excellent starting point for a more in-depth discussion!FB1564 I $34.15Lynx Eats the Hare— Super Value KitStudents see what happens when an area becomes over-populated or when food is limited. The life cycles of 20 generations of lynx and hares are observed and graphed to identify trends in the population growth. Kit includes with five decks of Lynx Eats the Hare cards, detailed instructions, student work-sheets and complete teacher notes.FB1880 I $33.90ECOLOGY, CONTINUEDMIDDLE SCHOOL LIFE SCIENCEThe Relationship Game— Student Activity KitThis interactive and educational game teaches students about the interconnection between plants, animals and their envi-ronment. A change in one organism can have drastic effects on another organism. Students use game cards to build relation-ship chains to learn how certain organisms are related to one another. The group with the longest chain wins!FB1654 I $41.00Duckweed Population Study—Student Laboratory KitWitness a population explosion right in the classroom as students nurture and experi-ment with living duckweed plants. Students design their own experiments to determine factors that can affect the rate of the popu-lation explosion. Duckweed cultures are available separately.FB1433 I $14.60Estimating Populations— Super Value KitStudents capture individuals in a simulated population, “tag” them and release them and back into the population. After multiple trials, students mathematically predict the size of the population and then count the actual population to determine the reliabil-ity of the mark/recapture technique.FB1439 I $57.25See more ecology at flinnsci.com
