Biology Labs

Undergraduates at the University of Maine who plan to major in Biology must take Bio 200: The Biology of Organisms.  Students attend lecture in a large auditorium and then break out into groups for lab. I taught two sections of twenty students each. Topics covered included:

• plant reproduction and anatomy, incuding photosynthesis experiments
• animal development, chicken embryos, cockroach dissection
• tissue anatomy and physiology
• kidney anatomy, function, and experiments
• heart and lung dissections, and more.

Students watch as I prepare to inflate sheep lungs.

Brave students examine the soft texture of lungs with their bare hands.
