breakdown introduction
The Effective Teaching of Biology aims to identify the special
dimensions of the subject, how it contributes to the curriculum as
a whole and why the teaching of biology differs from the teaching
of other subjects. Current legal and safety requirements are
provided together with practical teaching ideas and sources of
information. The book also covers contemporary issues which are the
subject of extensive debate, such as the changing patterns of
assessment of pupils, the use of living organisms in school and the
nature of learning difficulties which pupils experience.
For one-semester, non-majors introductory biology laboratory
courses Thinking About Biology: An Introductory Lab Manual offers
an extensively class-tested approach to the introductory biology
laboratory course. The manual enables students to see how
scientists work to solve problems through scientific investigation
by asking questions and answering them through observations and
conducting experiments. This lab manual helps students gain
practical experience to better understand lecture concepts, acquire
the basic knowledge needed to make informed decisions about
biological questions in everyday life, develop the problem-solving
skills that will lead to success in school and a competitive job
market, and learn to work effectively and productively as a member
of a team. The 6th Edition features new and revised activities
based on feedback from students and faculty.

kingdoms and species that form an important foundation for the
study of biology; the threat to habitats by illegal hunting, human
development, and pollution; how readers can help prevent their
destruction.
