With this laboratory manual, students can assume the role of the biological scientist as they observe the phenomena of life and life processes. Students will develop generalizations to explain observations. They will confirm, modify, or reject generalizations as they continue to make predictions and collect additional observations as they experience how science “works.” With some effort, this laboratory manual, and the sage advice of a laboratory instructor, the time spent in these efforts will prove to be most interesting and intellectually rewarding.
