Biology: Living Systems
Grades:
Biology: Living Systems is a systems approach to the major concepts of biology. The text presents relationships among major concepts that establish a thematic approach linking ideas from one chapter to the next. Connections and applications emphasize the relationships between biology and other disciplines. Opportunities for “learning by doing” provide for increased student comprehension and development of critical thinking skills. This program can be used as a first- or second-year course in biology.
