Metabolism Experiment Kit

Item: W-LAB 55

An excellent introduction to the metabolic process that enables students to observe small organisms (not included in the kit), and draw correlations between size of organism, temperature of environment, and oxygen consumption. Your students learn about metabolism by actually measuring the rate of oxygen consumption of small organisms such as insects, snails, worms and germinating seeds, utilizing the LAB-AIDS - *Patented Metabolism Chambers. Students are able to: 1) Calculate an organisms respiratory rate in cubic cm of oxygen per kg per hour; 2) Measure total gas change in a closed environment; 3) Determine an organism's metabolic relationship to total gas in a closed environment. The kit includes two unbreakable chambers large enough for small animals and plants (13 x 5 cm). One is used to measure an organism's oxygen consumption; the other serves as a control. Students also receive valuable practice in recording and retaining experimental data. *U.S. Pat No. 3,581,737.
