The Introduction to Biology Laboratory Manual by Ely and Vacura was created for first-year biology students to help them gain fundamental laboratory skills. The investigations and activities encompass a broad range of topics including the metric system and measurement, microscopy, human organ systems, cell division, basic cell physiology, and patterns of inheritance. The laboratory exercises are intended to strengthen students' understanding of the material covered in their lecture course.
Each chapter guides students through a subject with clear explanations, helpful diagrams, and easy to follow instructions. Learning objectives are summarized at the beginning of each chapter to provide clear goals and to reinforce key concepts. Each chapter is divided into more specific sections that include activities, investigations, and review questions to focus students' understanding of discrete topics.
