Synopsis

"From Field to Lab" is a biology experiment collection that teaches students about the working of the human body, as well as small animals and insects. Written for students aged 12-16, it encourages serious study of topics ranging from the movement and feeding habits of protozoa to human learning processes and sensory capabilities. It demonstrates how to observe, record and interpret a variety of biological phenomena. Following valid scientific procedures, readers watch the emergence of insects from cocoons; make casts of animal tracks; examine tadpoles as they change into frogs; build a terrarium for amphibians and reptiles; incubate and study the development of chicken embryos; measure human reflexes and reaction times; test for starch, sugar, fat and protein in food; determine how the eye reacts to light; and observe blood flowing through capillaries. Each experiment includes an introduction, a list of materials, step-by-step procedures, and suggestions for further study. Safety is emphasized throughout.
