Plant pigments online: How to engage college biology students in active learning! [Webinar]
- 29 Jun 22
This is a useful webinar for biology educators who are interested in streamlining their lab curriculum and engaging their students in active learning with authentic data acquisition.
Abstract:
Plant pigments offer an approachable way for college students to learn about the properties of light transmission and absorbance and the properties of chlorophyll.
Join us as we demonstrate how to use the Go Direct® SpectroVis® Plus Spectrophotometer to measure the visible absorbance spectra of plant pigments and food coloring.
We will explore how this experiment has been embedded in the Lt platform for online learning. Learn how you can easily build your biology curriculum, customize labs, grade answers, track student progress, and scaffold learning in Lt.
