This lab orients and trains about how to use some functions of a common and powerful tool for evaluating phenotypic traits in plants, while contributing to original undergraduate research. This module fits into a larger course-based undergraduate research (CURE) about plant ecophysiology and restoring degraded habitats (focuses on concepts evaluated by the sagebrush components of mapping and modeling). This module has been designed to be delivered over one lab period and can be used for remote instruction as needed.
This module has been used in CWI's Biology 3 (BIOL 113L) course.
