Peer Submitted LabChart Experiments

Dr. Robin L Cooper, Associate Professor from the Department of Biology at the University of Kentucky has kindly submitted a variety of experiment materials for ADInstruments to share with educators worldwide.  The materials are intended for life science students, and can be implemented using LabChart.

Dr. Cooper has developed this experiment series for practical teaching sessions to be run in the coming fall semester at the University of Kentucky.  With his permission, we have uploaded these to our website where they are available to download as zip files. The packages contain laboratory protocols, as well as videos showing each lab procedure.

Experiment topics cover: ECG Biological membranes Osmoregulation Human breathing Proprioception Intracellular recording Synaptic physiology Endocrine & Behaviour GI Recording Crustacean/insect heart rate Integration of sensory nerves Crayfish ventral nerve cord Temperature & activity – coming soon

Dr. Cooper welcomes comments from forum members who replicate these experiments at different locations or any other general discussion, so that implementation of these experiments in his lab and others’ may be fine-tuned.

ADInstruments would like to express great appreciation to Dr. Cooper for his generosity and willingness to share his teaching content, as this work represents a tremendous amount of time and effort.  ADInstruments would also like to encourage other educators to register on the forum to share and develop teaching materials.  Together, we can support one another in our educational goals, and enhance student engagement and learning.
