Biology

For Intro Biology Laboratory courses taken by non-majors. As energy crises, environmental mismanagement, and disease outbreaks increase in our world, an understanding of biology is becoming more important than ever; the biology lab course gives students a greater understanding of themselves and of issues in a biological context. Written to accompany David Krogh's Biology: A Guide to the Natural World, the exercises in this guide are built on a traditional foundation, yet also provide new avenues to explore the natural world through Web-based exercises and inquiry-based investigation. The exercises encompass many levels of biology, and sufficient introduction is given to each topic so that it may be used as a stand-alone item.
