Exploring Human Biology In The Laboratory

Exploring Human Biology in the Laboratory is a comprehensive manual appropriate for human biology lab courses. This edition features a streamlined set of clearly written activities. These exercises emphasize the anatomy, physiology, ecology, and evolution of humans within their environment.

Visualizing Human Biology Lab Manual provides 18 labs specifically designed for the non-majors biology student, each of which engages students by focusing on the structure and function of each persons own unique body. The lab manual includes key experiments with step-by-step visual guides and more interesting, real world topics to connect with students diverse experiences. Visuals are used to teach and explain, not just illustrate, and students with varied learning styles will be engaged. The applications of common laboratory techniques in science, medicine, and everyday life are also explored in each lab topic.

Exploring Biology in the Laboratory: Core Concepts is a comprehensive manual appropriate for introductory biology lab courses. This edition is designed for courses populated by nonmajors or for majors courses where abbreviated coverage is desired. Based on the two-semester version of Exploring Biology in the Laboratory, 3e, this Core Concepts edition features a streamlined set of clearly written activities with abbreviated coverage of the biodiversity of life. These exercises emphasize the unity of all living things and the evolutionary forces that have resulted in, and continue to act on, the diversity that we see around us today.

The Laboratory Manual provides an emphasis on critical thinking and includes Safety Guidelines, Objectives, A List of Materials Needed, Topic Introduction, Activities with embedded questions, and Critical Thinking Questions.

Now presented in full-color, this manual is designed specifically for the one-semester human biology course and offers activities for 23 laboratory sessions in a variety of formats to allow the instructor to customize these exercises to the needs of their course. The lab manual's depth of coverage and updated design invites students to explore fundamental concepts of human biology in a laboratory setting. The Third Edition includes a new exercise covering DNA Technology and Genetic Engineering.
