Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

One of the reasons for studying toxicology at the high school level is its relevance to everyday life. On a daily basis, we are confronted with news reports about toxic chemicals in our food, water, and environment. How do we decide which of these are worth worrying about?

In my unit on toxicology, my seniors will be conducting biological assays on various live specimens: duckweed and Daphnia.

Using duckweed and Daphnia, students can carry out the same types of toxicity tests used by scientists in universities, government, and industry. Although these scientists have access to budgets and equipment far beyond the realm of high school laboratories, they still use bioassays to provide an integrated picture of toxicity.
