Bryan - I did not feel a kit was necessary to do the things in this lab. I liked the things the kit does, but you can do most of these without the kit.

Deb- Again I really liked the slides Louann used with her lab. I would rather use them than the concave ones sent with this lab. Also, it said to use several drops of the stain. We didn't add the stain until the next day and I think it made a difference. We had to more than several and it still didn't really stain the yeast the way I'd hoped. My suggestion- stain the yeast as you rehydrate it like the instructions say.

Emily- Nice lab to show various types of cells, both plant and animal. I would use this in my classroom, when comparing plants and animals. Slow down is amazing stuff!

George - This is a good lab! I enjoyed observing the organisms and the results are fairly easy to get. I would recommend this lab for most students. Great variations in data and great experimentation oppurtunities.

Alicia- Great lab! It is always nice to observe live organisms in the lab!

Louann -- The Elodea with salt turned out very well. Also, the paramecium with the yeast, we were able to see the effects of the cilia on the yeast very well...

Deb- They send a lot of equipment with this lab. Tons of Protoslo, lots of concave slides, prepared slides, containers, pipets, etc. You could easily use this lab for 5 or 6 classes. Well worth the money.

Keith- I appreciate a lab that works! It is nicely designed, with both microscope practice, and cards to see what it really looks like! I enjoyed this one, and learned a bit of biology, too.

Carrie - This was a great lab! It was nice to observe live organisms, especially with the benefit of the nice cards provided with the lab. Protoslo is very helpful!

Christine- I really liked that this lab included the Protoslo to make it easier to see the organisms- Euglena are so often moving too quickly for the students to see very well, so this was an excellent addition to this lab. As Bryan mentioned though, it is probably not necessary to order the kit to do this lab. You can simply order the individual organisms and examine them under the light microscope.

Ken- The Protoslo worked much better than similar products in the past. Including prepared slides is nice.

Heather - I really liked this lab! It worked very well, and it was easy to see everything! Protoslo is very nice!
