This challenge is one in a series of investigations that concentrates on forensic science (in this case, fingerprinting) and the process skills associated with pursuing such inquiries. It should be noted that students may not find irrefutable evidence in this forensic investigation. It is for this reason that a variety of interpretations may be valid and should be accepted so long as these contentions are supported by data.

Inquiry Lab: Flower Dissection
Students dissect a flower in order to better understand how flowering plants are built for reproductive success. Then, students use their flower dissection as evidence to generate a written argument.FYI: Any type of lily will work well for this lab, including the cheaper Peruvian lilies available in most grocery stores. Note: the pistil is more difficult to identify in the Peruvian lily, as it is shorter than the stamen and looks almost like a stamen missing its anther.

Lab: Muscle Fatigue due to Anaerobic Respiration
This lab is a fun way to introduce students to the importance of aerobic respiration. Students squeeze their hands for a period of time until anaerobic respiration takes over, resulting in lactic acid fermentation and thus fatigue and pain. At the end of this lab, students will have a better understanding of why aerobic respiration is more efficient than anaerobic respiration. This activity also provides students with an opportunity to practice making a scatterplot.
