This book will help you integrate the recommendations of the AAAS "Vision and Change in Biology Undergraduate Education" initiative in your college course.

 

Teacher Reviews

Praise for Analysis of Enzymes using Tyrosinase from Investigating Biology through Inquiry:

“After a literature search, many wanted to investigate the action of tyrosinase from other sources and compare it to the potatoes, so they did extractions from apples, pears, bananas, and even sweet potatoes. It proved to be a great inquiry lab.”- Barb Burkhardt, University of Indianapolis

Praise for Chemistry of Membranes from Investigating Biology through Inquiry:

“We simultaneously did the alcohol method using isopropanol. Wow! Those results were very cool, very repeatable among the groups, and showed clear and strong gradients across the dilutions. There was a very nice correlation across methanol, ethanol, and 1-propanol based on length of alcohol molecule. The interesting surprise was the 2-propanol! It clearly caused much less leakage than 1-propanol at each concentration, behaving more like ethanol.” - Ross Koning, Eastern Connecticut State University
