Over the course of six editions, the ways in which biology is
taught have dramatically changed. We have seen a shift away from
the memorization of details, which are easily forgotten, and a
movement toward emphasizing core concepts. In parallel, many
educators are advocating a greater emphasis on the development of
critical thinking skills that are needed by students pursuing a
career in Biology. The 6th edition of Brooker Biology balances
"Core Concepts" with "Core Skills" helping engage students in
science related fields of study. Additionally, with McGraw Hill
Connect, powerful digital tools augment instruction by helping
students think more critically, develop quantitative and graphing
skills and apply their knowledge in a laboratory setting. Connect
Virtual Labs can be implemented in a hybrid or fully online setting
to help students prepare for the wet lab and strengthening their
lab experience.
Principles of Biology is reflective of the shift taking place in
the majors biology course from large and detail rich to short and
conceptual, with a focus on new, cutting-edge science. A succinct
and inviting text focused on central concepts, Principles of
Biology helps students connect fundamental principles while
challenging them to develop and hone critical thinking skills.
