Mealworms are insects with a high nutritional value and could provide a source of animal protein that is more sustainable than traditional livestock.
Dirty windows can harbour potentially harmful pollutants under protective films of fatty acids from cooking emissions – and these can hang around for long periods of time.
Lactase tablets for managing lactose intolerance can be used in the classroom to explore the biochemistry of sugars and the properties of enzymes.
Which is better: tap or bottled water? Try these activities based on simple analyses, a debate, and a blind tasting to learn about drinking water and encourage sustainable habits.
We all know that DNA → RNA → protein. But did you know that some genes don't encode proteins but rather RNAs with important cellular functions?
Meet the planarian, a fascinating flatworm with incredible biological abilities unique and surprising ways responses to various stimuli.
Future food: would you bite into a test-tube burger or a Petri dish steak? How do we make lab-grown meat, and what might it mean for health, farming, and the environment?
Play the part: students take on the roles of different components of a synapse to act out synaptic transmission and learn about neurobiology.
Fighting fake facts: When a Covid test shows a positive result with cola, does testing make sense? To answer this, one must understand how antigen tests and buffers work.
