Investigating Biology through Inquiry
$44.00
Investigating Biology through Inquiry will help you integrate inquiry into your existing biology curriculum, whether you teach high school, AP Biology, IB Biology, or at the college level. This lab book provides many possible researchable questions for your students to investigate.
Description
Investigating Biology through Inquiry contains investigations for many fundamental concepts in biology. Each investigation includes a preliminary activity, instructor information, sample researchable questions, and sample data. Additionally, the investigations are correlated to AP* and IB** standards. Topics covered include:
- Cell and Molecular Biology
- Organismal Biology
- Ecology
- Evolution
If you are new to inquiry-based instruction, the extensive Instructor Information sections that accompany each investigation will help guide you through the inquiry-based style of biology instruction. This book will help you integrate the recommendations of the AAAS “Vision and Change in Biology Undergraduate Education” initiative in your college course.
