From Jellyfish to the Bench: How Green Fluorescent Protein Is Used in ResearchStudents may be familiar with green fluorescent protein (GFP) from classwork or seeing transgenic animals in their local pet store. However, they may not know that it’s also an important research tool. Use this overview to help them discover how scientists use GFP to study many of the major questions in biology. View »
Measuring pH: Indicators, Paper, and MetersMany activities require pH testing, including chemistry titrations, environmental science water quality testing, and biological processes labs. This article covers tools and techniques. View »
Fever and Immune ResponseThe human body uses many mechanisms to maintain a stable internal environment known as homeostasis. A fever is a good example of a response that takes the body outside of its normal temperature range in an effort to eliminate infection. View »
