Straightliner Biology Lab? - teacher2 - 02-22-2017

TinHead, I will be taking this course in March. Looks like I will have to buy the kit. When will you be taking it?

I've already paid for it and I plan to take it mid-March. The kit from eScience labs has yet to arrive, and I believe I ordered in 13 days ago. Might want to order it asap so you don't have to wait too long

clear jello,
red and white beads,
vinegar,
baking soda,
some aqua plant seeds,
beakers
and some random safety equipment
graph paper and markers
sodium bicarb (baking soda)
phenol red solution (available pool supplies.
beakers with a stand,
3 petrie dishes,
radish seeds
baking soda solution,
and ph measuring sticks
Am I missing anything? I have taken CLEP Biology already, but do I need to purchase a book in accompaniment to this course? I have found in the other courses I have taken through SL that the quizzes were extremely textbook specific.
Did you ever find the answers to this post? I am curious if you can purchase the lab supplies without going with the kit.

No one got back with me on it so I had to buy the kit. I will try to post a list later. However they make you submit a picture of the access code with your name written beside it which is located inside the kit box. I wrote in pencil so I could erase it and possibly resell the kit. Also you must submit pictures of the kit supplies with their numbers in each lab. I will be starting and hopefully finishing up my lab within the next two weeks. After which I will probably sell it on here.

Here is the list of supplies for information purposes. But you have to have the access code to open the course as well as list it in your labs. Don't be too disappointed as it is not worth its weight. But If you have to take the class you have to take the class.
Also note: I did not have enough Phosphate Buffer in my kit which you use in the fourth lab.

Thanks Teacher2. That is what I needed to know. Guess my sister will have to locate an online lab class.

My kids finished bio (class with no lab) and were hoping to do the lab together this week (purchased a few months ago). We haven't unlocked the lab yet. Do you think they would refund the lab? Do you recommend another online class option for this lab? I ask because I've read a few comments from you on your sons dropping the lab. Why was the lab difficult? What do you recommend? Thanks in advance.
