CONCEPTUAL BIOLOGY: COURSE GUIDEBOOK AND LAB MANUAL SAMPLE
 
This Course Activity Guide contains over 100 hands-on Guided Labs, Inquiry Investigations, and Engineering Projects for students to actively perform and process fundamental Biology concepts using materials found in and around their own homes like kitchen chemicals, food products, office supplies, and garage items. Each activity is carefully aligned with the NGSS Standards. Students will acquire scientific knowledge through researching, measuring, modeling, quantifying, graphing, analyzing, and applying the concepts presented in a typical General Biology Course. With this constructivist approach students will be doing, doing, doing the process of science with their own hands instead of passively acquiring knowledge through simulation clicking. By participating in the  Learning Cycle laid out in this unique approach, students will follow the same steps of real Scientists by Researching major principles of a concept, following several Guided Labs, applying their learning to their daily life, and then designing their own Inquiry Based Investigations.
