Baxter Symposium Session

Presenter: Suzanne Fetherling, Hoffman Estates High School

Room: Global Hub 2120

Session Materials: Resource Folder | Bio-Rad's Algae Bead Kit

In this workshop, teachers will test out BioRad's Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration lab. Teach both photosynthesis and cellular respiration simultaneously in a single lab — with algae beads! The Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Kit for General Biology is a fun, easy-to-use, and more reliable alternative to the leaf disk and microrespirometer labs. The simple algae bead system in this kit is a great tool for students to learn experimental design and can help you dispel the common student misconception that plants only do photosynthesis. Learn more about this lab and work with teachers to creatively think through how we can bring this activity back to your classroom
