The Introductory Biology Lab Manual is for non-science majors. The lab manual has been designed to give students a solid foundation using the scientific method in hands-on labs. The lab exercises are appropriate for 1-2 hour lab sessions or to follow a lecture. The labs are suitable for those students with little hands-on science experiences. The labs have been designed so students have valuable background material prior to beginning the actual labs. The background material can serve as an introduction or pre-lab experience for the students. The students will learn how to use the scientific method with the first lab and be able to continue the process throughout the lab manual. The first edition manual is an ideal manual for those looking for basic biology principles including: pH, biological membranes, the light microscope, properties of water, comparison of animal and plant cells, osmosis and diffusion, cellular respiration, fermentation, chromatography, and DNA extraction. The appendix includes a copy of the periodic table, labeled microscope, and graph paper.
