Introduction to the Biomedical Sciences Laboratory Manual provides a molecular and cellular approach to human biology. From experiments covering the breadth of human biology, from diffusion to sell division to genetics to histology to organ systems, students gain an integrated view of human biology. This manual contains 14 topics, and emphasizes the use of microscopes, data analysis, and the Scientific Method throughout.

Introduction to the Biomedical Sciences Laboratory Manual is designed to give students all the tools they need to master the material. Chapters feature:

  • lists of objectives, vocabulary, and skills gained from the laboratory.
  • background information explaining the theory of the lab.
  • color images.
  • key words in bold.
  • critical thinking questions.
  • clearly laid out, step by step protocols.
  • multiple activities for each subject.
  • multiple experiments for each subject.
  • multiple experiments for each concept.
  • guided data collection and interpretation.
  • comprehension questions.
  • review questions.

Introduction to the Biomedical Sciences Laboratory Manual is perfect for introductory life sciences courses with an emphasis on human biology.
