These guided activities were written because much research has shown that more learning takes place when the student is actively engaged and when ideas and concepts are developed by the student, rather than being presented by an authority - a textbook or an instructor. The activities presented are structured so that information is presented to the reader in some form (and equation, table, graph, figure, written prose, etc.) followed by a series of Construct-Your-Understanding Questions that lead the student to the development of a particular concept or idea.

Mechanisms and Logic in Human Physiology is a next-gen learning resource, adapting to a variety of pedagogical strategies as well as strongly promoting higher order thinking, the ultimate goal of 21st century pre-clinical education. Physiology - a study of complex systems in motion - requires a deeper level of learning than rote memorization can provide.

Applied Freshwater Ecology explains the study of water quality in a river system. It begins in the field of applied science showing how information is acquired and disseminated. Turning to understanding of the stream system, the book explains the unique properties of water and streams in the landscape of watersheds. The heart of the book covers all aspects of water quality assessment including the physical, chemical and biological monitoring needed to conduct a good survey.

OUR PLANET IS A DYNAMIC PLACE
Global pandemics, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, cyclonic storms and many other natural hazards occur across our planet every day and have significant human impact. This textbook examines how normal processes of the Earth-atmosphere-hydrosphere-space systems result in events that are capable of dealing disastrous blows to humans on the scale of individual lives to civilizations.

Students learn when they are activity engaged and thinking in class. The activities in this book are the primary classroom materials for teaching Calculus 1, using the POGIL method. Each activity leads students to discovery of the key concepts by having them analyze data and make inferences. The result is an "I can do this" attitude, increased retention, and a feeling of ownership over the material.

C++ Data Structures is designed to fit perfectly into the third semester of Computer Science or Software Engineering curriculums by teaching three important skills. First, C++ Data Structures helps students learn how the most useful data structures work by guiding them through common manipulations. Each student will have an opportunity to learn their inner workings by both manipulating the data structures by hand and to building them from scratch.

This book is dedicated to your STEM success.
This book is for BOTH life science and engineering/physical science students.
Ideally, you work through this before taking your physics course, but it can also be used as a companion trainer. For the price of a few sessions with a tutor, you have a training and tutorial that has been developed, tested, and refined for 30 years.

The undergraduate academic field of Exercise Science is one that focuses broadly on the roles of physical activity, exercise, and sport on human health and wellbeing throughout the lifespan. While the field of Exercise Science has existed in some form since the 1970’s, there is continuing need for new academic resources that present updated perspectives on curricular content, as well as content that takes advantage of evolving on-line resources.
