Format:Book
Insights in Biology is a comprehensive first-year high school biology curriculum that emphasizes cellular and molecular biology as well as genetics, ecology, and evolution. The curriculum represents an innovative approach to teaching and learning introductory biology. This new approach incorporates the traditional discipline-specific concepts with an emphasis on presenting concepts in depth and in context. This program not only develops conceptual connections through a storyline that is relevant to students' lives, but also uses inquiry-based activities that focus on process-thinking skills students will use for a lifetime.
