Biology Laboratory Manual [Spiral-bound]

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0073031216 | ISBN-13: 978-0073031217 | Publication Date: June 25, 2001 | Edition: 6

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 an exercise can be tailored to the needs of the students, the style of the instructor, and the facilities available.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb laboratory manual., July 9, 2000

This review is from: Biology Laboratory Manual (Vodopich) (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.

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