Drugs Also Have Effects on Daphnia
April 4, 2011
As part of a very cool experiment in Mrs. Brelsford's Biology and AP Biology Courses, students analyzed the effects of alcohol on tiny pond organisms called Daphnia. Because of their transparency, especially under high-powered microscopes, students placed a small drop of alcohol on Daphnia and then observed the effects on their systems. Students then compared and contrasted the effects on human beings through this very interesting lab experience. Neat stuff!
