Biology: The Dynamics of Life is a comprehensive high school biology program designed to capture the interest of all students. The text uses analogies, models, and hundreds of illustrations to help students more easily comprehend major biological concepts. The engaging narrative and special feature essays continually reveal to students the connection between biology and everyday life, technology, societal issues, and other areas of the curriculum. Each chapter offers numerous opportunities for hands-on experiences that engage students in using scientific methods and in developing critical thinking skills.

Features

  • Bio Lab is a two-page lab activity in every chapter many of which are designed as open-ended labs in which students design their own experiments. There are now three types of BioLabs: Internet, Investigate, and Design Your Own.
  • MiniLab is a hands-on activity in each lesson that uses simple materials, can be completed in less than a class period, and can often be assigned for homework.
  • Problem Solving Lab in every lesson reinforces concepts by requiring students to interpret data, analyze procedures, and make conclusions.
  • Cross-curricular Connections show how biology impacts on other science disciplines, Literature, Art, Mathematics, and History.
  • Biology and Society explores topics relating to Ethics and Issues in biology. These features provide opportunities for classroom discussions, projects, or further research.
  • Biotechnology are essays that show students how biology has contributed solutions to everyday problems.
  • The Inside Story pages in every chapter use cutaway views to reveal the inner workings of organisms and biological processes.
  • Biodigests are unique, highly-illustrated unit summaries that can be used as a preview or a review of major concepts in each unit.
  • National Geographic Focus On photo essays appear throughout the text to give students an in-depth look at high-interest subjects such as dinosaurs, uses of plants, and the brain.
