Description
For Introductory Biology courses.
Written to accompany David Krogh's Biology: A Guide to the Natural World, Second Edition, this lab manual gives non-majors a relevant, integrative laboratory experience. A variety of traditional and Web-based questions and exercises help students gain an understanding of the natural world through application of the scientific method. These investigative exercises encompass many levels of biological organization, and touch upon the aesthetic and philosophical aspects of natural history. As a result, students learn how science relates to their daily lives.
