Describes procedures for collecting and using cryptozoic invertebrates in introductory biology classes to develop interest in invertebrate ecology, behavior, physiology, morphology, and taxonomy. (PEB)

This document is an instructional module package prepared in objective form for use by an instructor familiar with pH, measurement of pH with a pH meter and maintenance of pH meter electrodes. Included are objectives, instructor guides, student handouts and transparency masters. This module considers the definition of pH, types of electrodes and…

Describes an experiment wherein the student can demonstrate the existence of all the thiocyanato chromium complexes, estimate the stepwise formation constants, demonstrate the robustness of chromium III complexes, and show the principles of paper electrophoresis. (GS)

Describes an experiment that will acquaint the student with the ion-exchange model, yield data which fit nicely to a computer type analysis, introduce the preparation of electrodes, provide a unique experience with elevated temperatures and ionic solvents, and provide experience in electrometric measurements. (GS)

Reports a modification of a simple method previously described for determining enthalpies of sublimation and comments on some of the method's inherent limitations. (Author/GS)

This instructor's manual presents material on basic bacteriological laboratory procedures as required by Federal Register Water Quality Guidelines.
