Investigating BiologyAn undergraduate lab manual containing 27 lab exercises designed to encourage students to ask questions, pose hypotheses, and make predications before they begin lab work. Students are required to synthesize results from observations and experiments, draw conclusions, apply results to new problems, and to design their own investigations. Scientific writing is emphasized throughout. Includes appendices on scientific writing, chi-square test, and terminology and techniques for dissection, as well as a section of color photos. This edition contains a new lab on cellular respiration, and several labs are modified based on new evidence in molecular biology. Wire spiral binding.
