Inquiries in Science® Biology Series - Help your students understand hard-to-grasp science concepts. Using a learning cycle of engage, explore, explain, extend, and evaluate, each kit features lab activities designed to actively engage students in learning essential science concepts through guided inquiry. Topics addressed by the kits were organized and selected based on data from numerous sources, including the National Research Council's National Science Education Standards, AAAS's Project 2061 Science Benchmarks, NAEP's Science Framework, and state science education standards from across the US.

The Identifying Symbiosis Kit includes: Lab supplies plus a teacher’s manual with instructions Background information Reproducible student sheets Student questions Extension activities Suggestions for differentiated instruction Kit Refill replenishes all perishable materials; price includes shipping and handling.

Grades 9-12.

• Observe symbiotic relationships between organisms
• Investigate behavioral responses of organisms in symbiosis
• Evaluate the roles of organisms in symbiotic relationships

Students view examples of symbiotic relationships and then test a student-developed hypothesis on an active symbiotic relationship. By using prepared slides as well as live and preserved organisms, students observe parasitism, commensalisms, mutualism, and predation. Kit includes lab supplies (enough for at least 30 students working in groups) plus teacher's manual. Kit Refill replenishes the live organisms; price includes shipping and handling. Note: Prepaid coupon lets you request the live organisms later at your convenience. Contact us or return the coupon at least 2 weeks prior to requested delivery date to ensure prompt arrival of materials.
