Modified Student Guide for Prelab
I modified the Exploration guide to include a bit more research on the student's part because I use it in... (more) an IB class for students who missed the lab (we do exactly the same tests in real life that are on the Gizmo). I assign the guide as pre-reading and pre-lab work the night before the lab.

Great for Anatomy&Physiology! Covers macromolecules as well as nutrition

ALthough this does not correlate with Florida's Biology EOC item specs, this would make a great enrichment for Macromolecules.

The use of this gizmo finally cleared up the procedure for the hands-on version of this lab.

Very helpful to use in place of the actual nutrient testing lab or to prepare students for the actual lab.
