General Biology From a Whole New Perspective

Biology: A Community Context is the first inquiry-based biology curriculum. An innovative text and support materials allow you to create a classroom in which students work both individually and in groups, learning the key concepts of biology in the context of their own lives and community. The unique instructional design encourages them to challenge their assumptions, dig deeply into science issues, and develop new ways of thinking and acting in response to their learning.

The emphasis throughout Biology is on active investigation. Students learn about the scientific process through hands-on inquiry into real-world problems. In fact, the seven-part instructional strategy of Biology is constructed to reflect the process of scientific inquiry and allows students to "do" science rather than just read about it.
