Urine+Examination+Analysis+BioKit

Urine Examination Analysis BioKit Alvin Essenburg - Simple tests that could be used by most students. Using the samples would be good, letting students test their own urine could get complaints from parents.

Kasi Bolden- This lab can be applicable to life. Student testing of the the specific gravity and glucose were most helpful. I believe the glucose tablets and the hydrometer are a great resource for other labs that may be performed in class. This lab is most appropriate for an anatomy & physiology class.

Susan Rathwick- Good lab. Simulated urin could be purchased and protein, glucose, etc. could be added without purchasing this lab. I did like the tablets used to test for glucose instead of using test strips. The hydrometer was also an interesting tool to have students use.

Mark - I think this is an extremely interesting and very engaging lab. I think students would really take to this and it could be used to introduce many topics as well as speak to the impacts of diet/drugs/substances being consumed/present in the urine. Also, it would be a good lab to use at any point just to break up a unit or give students something interesting to do during the year. Very well designed and very well conducted!

Keith Madden - I like this lab. It gives the students a chance to practice basic lab techniques, and do measurements that have real clinical value. Using simulated urine helps to minimize the "yuck" factor. A demonstration of basic hydrometer operation would help students who hadn't used one before. (In auto shop one uses these to check on the charge state of the car battery!)

Jim: I liked the lab. A good way for students to learn physiology as well as practical applications of chemistry.

Deb- I liked this lab. I was able to test my own urine and found out I don't have any issues. I will definitely pass on this info to our human biology teacher. The kids will enjoy this practical lab. I had never used a hydrometer before. It was rather interesting.

Louann: I wouldn't try this with freshmen, but I could certainly see it in an anatomy/physiology class.

Emily Zablocki- I really like this lab and am looking forward to using it in my anatomy based classes. It not only provides a variety of tests but leaves room for some inquiry, in allowing the students to test their own urine. I do plan to have my students test their own urine following testing the simulated urine.

Julie- loved it. Urine is a great indicator of problems that exist in the body. Still want to test Andy's urine.

Carrie - This is a really good anatomy/health lab. I would begin this lab telling the students to use the simulated urine only and not even mention using their own urine until they have run a few of the urine tests. The tests prompt inquiry and students will want to use their own urine without you having to ask.
