Writing to Learn Biology

Science & Math

Moore, Randy

Biological Sciences

Harcourt Brace College Publishers

This text was written in response to a large movement which promotes writing across the science curriculum. While it includes topics such as how to write lab reports and/or scientific paper for publication, the focus is on writing as means of learning science. Based on the popular "Writing to Learn Biology" (by Moore), this second text addresses a range of topics from biology, chemistry, and physics.

Writing to Learn Science

Brooks/Cole

Intended to complement an introductory biology text in either a major or non-majors course, this collection of modern and classic essays contains a wide range of biology articles. This reader, which covers all areas of biology, stresses reading and writing as tools for learning about biology. Students are carefully guided to help them discover and communicate information. Features: * A wide variety of articles are provided for each biological topic giving instructors the flexibility to choose. These articles have been selected by introductory biology professors. * Articles are prefaced by background material about the article - context of discovery, impact of discovery, author biography, and so forth. This motivates students' interest and creates a context so as to increase understanding. * Questions which accompany the readings encourage critical thinking and help students link seemingly unrelated biological topics. * Review checklists at the end of every chapter and questions at the end of every article help students track their progress, evaluate what they've learned, and relate that information to material they have covered in the course.

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.
