Ward's® Effects of Drugs on Daphnia Kit

Simple, Effective Investigation Uses Living Specimens

Students use WARD’S new method of magnifying cells and Daphnia netting to view the Daphnia’s heartbeat. Students will familiarize themselves with some common stimulants and depressants by testing four different compounds and analyzing the results of these substances on the Daphnia’s heartrate. By observing how drugs affect a living organism, it becomes easier for students to correlate the effects of drugs on their own bodies. You get enough materials for 15 setups, a teacher’s guide, and student copy master. Note: Coupon included for perishable materials. Redeem by mail, fax, phone, or e-mail.
