This study introduces two guided inquiry exercises using zebrafish to teach high school and college students about biological concepts like development and metabolic rate. These adaptable labs enhance science education through hands-on learning experiences.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Biology
  • Physiology
  • Ecology

Background:

  • Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are increasingly utilized as a model organism in scientific research and education.
  • Guided inquiry-based laboratory exercises are valuable tools for teaching biological concepts effectively.
  • Adapting educational modules for different academic levels enhances accessibility and learning outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present two distinct guided inquiry exercises for teaching biological concepts using zebrafish.
  • To provide adaptable laboratory modules for high school and college-level biology courses.
  • To engage students in understanding zebrafish development, physiology, and metabolic processes.

Main Methods:

  • 'Zebrafish Development and Environment' exercise: Students rank zebrafish embryos by age and explore the circulatory system and temperature effects.

  • 'Oxygen Consumption' exercise: A 2-week lab for college students to measure oxygen consumption, predict metabolic rate, design experiments, and analyze data.

    • Main Results:

    • The exercises facilitate student understanding of zebrafish development and physiological processes.
    • Students gain practical experience in experimental design, data analysis, and scientific reporting.
    • The inquiry-based approach promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

    Conclusions:

    • Guided inquiry labs using zebrafish are effective pedagogical tools for diverse student populations.
    • These exercises support the teaching of fundamental biological principles in accessible ways.
    • The adaptable nature of the labs allows for customization to specific course requirements and learning objectives.
