More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This laboratory manual is designed for an introductory biology course with a broad survey of basic laboratory techniques. The experiments and procedures are simple, safe, easy to perform and especially appropriate for large classes. Few experiments require a second class-meeting to complete the procedure. Each exercise includes many photographs, traditional topics and experiments that help students learn about life. Procedures within each exercise are numerous and discrete so that any exercise can be tailored to the needs of the students, the style of the instructor and the facilities available. New to this edition is a website. Each lab in the manual will have icons indicating which types of activities students will find on the Website. There will be icons for: Essential Study Partner modules, Animations, Activities, Readings, Maths Helps, BioCourse.Com, and a special password protected section for instructors that will house the Lab Resource Guide, alternative recipes for lab solutions and more. Procedures are numbered consecutively within each exercise making it easier for students to follow the necessary steps, and the investigation section at the end of most labs takes students through the process of designing an experiment based on what they have learned.
From the Publisher
Procedures are numbered consecutively within each exercise making it easier for students to follow the necessary steps.
This manual is four color and customizable so you can build the lab manual to suit your course.
Investigation section at the end of most labs walks students through the process of designing an experiment based on what they just learned.
Web Site. Each lab in the manual has icons indicating what types of activities students will find on the web site. There are icons for: Essential Study Partner modules, Animations, Activities, Readings, and a special password protected section for Instructors that houses the Lab Resource Guide, alternative recipes for lab solutions, and more.
All exercises were critiqued by a review panel of current users, and their suggested revisions were carefully considered and incorporated. These revisions have further enhanced the precision of introductory material to many exercises and added to the clarity of instructions for the students. Notable among the revisions is an increased emphasis on evolutionary adaptations of organisms surveyed in the exercises on the animal kingdom. In addition, over fifty figures have been revised or replaced, and well over seventy questions have been revised or added throughout the exercises to further stimulate student thinking during their work.

A superb laboratory manual.
9 July 2000
Format:Spiral-bound
The Biology Laboratory Manual by Guttman, Vodopich, Johnson, Raven, and Moore provides an easy to follow approach to introductory biology. It features many activities that can be completed on average between 2 and 3 hours. There are many photos and diagrams that are in full color, many pre-laboratory type questions, and a good amount of questions that are best answered during lab or after lab. This book is ideal for an advanced high school biology course or a freshman or sophomore college biology class. Unlike a fair amount of the laboratory texts out there, this one accompanies most biology books very well. Thus, the laboratory portion of class tends to blend very well with the lecture portion.
Excelent

Good lab manual, nice pics, and the information presented far exceeds that presented in the lab manuals written by professors at my school.
