In this lab activity, students employ the Life Science Standard (LS1) to explore the various substances that may be present in a sample of urine. Students study artificial urine samples for Vitamin C, phosphates, glucose, and albumin. Their understanding of these activities helps them recognize how examining urine is one way to gauge a person's health and detect disease.
This kit aligns with published National Standards and has material for five groups of tests. Pre- and post-laboratory assessments are included.
