Response to Stimuli
This lab unit was designed in response to a change in the biology curriculum from a phylogenic approach to a systematic approach. Reviewing instruction in consideration of the new curriculum presented the ideal opportunity to adapt some of the standard labs to more student driven investigations. Students will begin to develop, through collaboration, an informed speculation about the responses of organisms (of various levels of complexity) to stimuli.

Appropriate Levels: Grades 9-12
