Description from the Website: Record electrical activities of individual neurons while you deliver mechanical stimulus to the attached skin. Inject fluorescent dyes into the neurons to visualize their morphology. Identify the neurons based on the morphology and the response to stimuli, comparing them to previously published results. This lab is less intellectual challenging compared to...

Description from the website: This interactive, modular lab explores the techniques used to make transgenic flies and demonstrates how these flies can be used to study gene expression. Scientists use transgenic organisms, which contain DNA that scientists inserted in the organisms? genomes, to research many biological processes. In this lab, students produce and conduct experiments with v...
