Problems/Case Studies:
"A
Rigorous Investigation" Claudia Bode,
In this case study, students investigate the cause of death in an
incident that occurs late at night in a research lab. The goal of
this directed case study is to make the abstract concepts involved
in cellular respiration more accessible to students.
Developed for an introductory
biology class, the case could easily be adapted for a more
advanced biochemistry class.
