Description
This laboratory manual is designed for one-semester or full-year introductory biology courses taken by non- and mixed-biology majors. It offers fun and informative hands-on lab exercises that have been extensively class tested. There are 41 self-contained exercises, each self-directing and flexible, with investigative components where students design and conduct experiments on their own. Sufficient background information is provided for each lab activity, with laboratory procedures clearly described in a step-by-step manner within each assignment section.
