The Biology 101 Lab Manual provides students with the opportunity to assume active roles in their exploration of the world of biology. Lab sessions supplement the lecture by implementing hands-on group activities and discussion. These activities aim to mirror the scientific community through a spirit of group learning, allowing students to discuss topics with their peers and interact directly with the material.
The lab text matches the growth of students throughout the duration of the course, meaning the level of instruction naturally decreases as students gain confidence in their understanding of biology. Through the use of beakers and reagents, microscopes and pond water, physical puzzles, computer simulations, and community learning, students will enhance their understanding of biology as they actively pursue answers to questions about the natural world.
