Neurobiology with C. elegans

C. elegans Behavior Kit
Explore the fascinating life cycle of Caenorhabditis elegans in this chemotaxis experiment that compares the learning ability of a wild-type strain to a neurologic mutant as they associate the presence of salt with food.

Microbial Metabolism & Koch’s Postulates with Yogurt

Microbes & Health Kit
Practice microbiology culturing techniques to produce yogurt and test Koch’s postulates. Students use microscopes, agar plates, and their powers of observation to identify bacteria and examine the role of microbial metabolism in both disease and food microbiology.
