Synopsis:
Inquiry is Central to Science Learning
Biology: An Inquiry Approach emphasizes biology as an inquiry process and in doing so, will help students improve using their essential critical thinking skills and values. This book will not only help students understand what biologists know and believe, but also help them understand how and why biologists know and believe.
Features:
- Emphasis on scientific reasoning and the nature of science.
- Discussion of student misconceptions.
- Minimal use of technical terms to not hinder meaningful learning and to instead focus on important concepts, not the trivial ones.
- Chapter overviews, thought-provoking questions, activities, and end-of-chapter reviews.
- Connection of science and mathematics.
- Introduction to central biological theories.
Author Anton Lawson embraces The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) belief that creative and critical thinking skills and values develop through attempts to use them in the exploration and explanation of nature.
A central goal of Biology: An Inquiry Approach is to present those theories in an understandable way. The intent is to discuss how those theories came about and why biologists accept them and not alternative theories.
Each text includes access to an online interactive Web site that expands pedagogical elements - including test banks, PowerPoint® presentations, interactive flash cards, animations, video clips, and more!
