Entering the World of Plants

For botany, biology, and agricultural science courses. Entering the World of Plants is designed as a supplemental laboratory manual for science courses with a significant focus on botany and plant life. The manual includes 22 laboratory exercises that first begins with an exercise to fully acquaint students with microscopes--the primary laboratory tool--then continues with exercises on a full range of the structures, activities, responses, biospheres, classifications, and life cycles in the botanical world. Pedagogical devises include brief introductions to lab experiments, key words, description of terms, step-by-step instructions, short answer and fill in the blank questions and a summary of objectives students should achieve after completing each experiment.
