Lab Manual for Essentials of Biology

by Sylvia S. Mader

Overview

The 25 laboratory sessions in this manual have been designed to introduce beginning students to the major concepts of biology, while keeping in mind minimal preparation for sequential laboratory use. The laboratories are coordinated with Essentials of Biology, a general biology text that covers all fields of biology. In addition,
this Laboratory Manual can be adapted to a variety of course orientations and designs. There are a sufficient number of laboratories and exercises within each lab to tailor the laboratory experience as desired. Then, too,
many exercises may be performed as demonstrations rather than as student activities, thereby shortening the time required to cover a particular concept.

About the Author

Sylvia S. Mader has authored several nationally recognized biology texts published by McGraw-Hill. Educated at Bryn Mawr College, Harvard University, Tufts University, and Nova Southeastern University, she holds degrees in both Biology and Education. Over the years she has taught at University of Massachusetts, Lowell; Massachusetts Bay Community College; Suffolk University; and Nathan Mayhew Seminars. Her ability to reach out to science-shy students led to the writing of her first text, Inquiry into Life, which is now in its fifteenth edition. Highly acclaimed for her crisp and entertaining writing style, her books have become models for others who write in the field of biology.
