[edit] BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE
Infused with the spirit of enquiry, this book integrates experimental data with biological concepts to help students think like biologists. It also highlights the increasingly inter-disciplinary nature of biology as a subject.
Infused with the spirit of inquiry, Freeman, Biological Science integrates experimental data with biological concepts to help students learn to think like a biologist. This along with highlighting the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of biology, Biological Science gives students the tools they need for success in general biology and in future upper-division courses. *Infused with the spirit of inquiry-Rather than presenting biological concepts with an 'observational' approach, ('here's everything we know about X' ) Freeman, engages student's sense of wonder by presenting actual experiments and data graphics. -Students are not given just the facts, but are encouraged to observe, interpret, and draw conclusions. *Experimental approach-Through the presentation of actual experiments, Freeman explains concepts in a motivating, 'how we know what we know' basis.-Students learn first hand how research is done and begin developing their analytical skills. Data graphics used throughout each chapter mirror actual experiments. Students become familiar with interpreting data - great training for upper division courses. *Biology presented as an integrated science-Biological Science builds on material presented early on to show the synthetic nature of biology. -Students understand relationships instead of learning material as isolated concepts. Examples: evolutionary theme introduced in chapter one and carried throughout each chapter; the use of tree diagrams (introduced in chapter one) throughout the text; diversity (Unit 6) explores what key innovations triggered adaptation. *Features of the visual program - Include tree diagrams consistently used throughout text; illustrations bring the text's experimental focus alive; data graphics used throughout each chapter and mirror actual experiments; thought questions follow key illustrations/photos within each chapter and promote active learning. *The art program encourages students to visualize actual experiments, work with real data which ultimately helps prepare them for upper division courses. *The review program-Dr. Freeman's chapters underwent an exhaustive review program, including over 300 reviews from both experts in their fields of research and star teachers. Over 30 accuracy experts examined pages for accuracy during the production and printing process. Over 100 student reviews were also solicited to confirm the readability and the level of the content. Extensive review program ensured accuracy of the content as well as its teaching effectiveness. *The media and instructor support program-Resources include tools for lecture presentation, assessment, communication, and course management, as well as the entire student media package. The student media resources contain tutorials that teach biological concepts and basic skills, animations that present biological processes, and assessment tools. *The goal of the instructor's support package is to provide resources that empower instructors to control and enhance the character, depth, and breadth of their course using material from this text.
