- Abstract
The article discusses the use of nematodes in high school biology courses. Nematodes or roundworms are key in decomposition and can be used as a pesticide. A team of university researchers and science teachers conducted a laboratory module using insecticidal nematodes to aid students in applying inquiry-based methods and to develop experimental design. Students were encouraged to plan experiments to determine which species of nematode functioned best as a pesticide using various lab protocols.
