Description
In an advanced or AP Biology course, class time is a precious commodity. That’s why our Advanced Biology Through Inquiry lab manual provides tips for accurate data collection and analysis, editable labs for seamless integration into your individual curriculum, and consistent assessment to ensure that students are engaged and critically thinking throughout the activity.
This manual includes challenging, standards-based lab activities with inquiry extensions. They can be edited to suit the needs of your students or to better coordinate with your classroom lectures. All labs are also accompanied by a complete teacher’s guide with intensive background information and “teacher tips”, as well as multiple-choice questions to help students gain confidence for the AP exam.
Equipment Kits for the Investigations
The 18 included labs integrate PASCO sensors and equipment for an engaging year of advanced biology teaching and learning. Sensors and equipment can be purchased individually or you may also choose to purchase individual kits that combine multiple items.
