ELISA Disease Detection Test
In this laboratory you will use the ELISA (Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) for detecting the presence of an antigen, such as a disease-related agent, from a sample of body fluid. You will be given a solution that represents your body fluid. You will exchange body fluid with three other individuals. The ELISA test will be used to detect a simulated disease agent in the mixed body fluids. Finally, you will analyze the class data set to determine identity of the original carrier(s).
This assay is similar to that used for the AIDS test, in which an ELISA is used to detect individuals infected with the virus that causes AIDS (HIV).

Students are given data and are required to graph the data, analyze the data to determine the carrying capacity of four different organisms.
In this lesson, students will collect flower and leaf samples from around their school campus and return to the lab to conduct chromatography to separate pigments in their samples. Students will learn
Students will participate in a hands-on scientific experiment that addresses the question: "Can you grow plants without seeds?" To further explore this concept, students will actively listen to a read
