Beschreibung
Principles of Life was the first book to reflect the changes occurring in the AP® Biology redesign. This innovative text emphasizes biology's major concepts and provides students with opportunities to apply those concepts through data analysis and active-learning.
OPENING STORY: Chapters capture student attention from the outset with a story that sets up an interesting question in a recognisable real-world context
RESEARCH TOOLS: Throughout Principles of Life, this feature focuses on techniques and quantitative methods scientists use to investigate biological systems
INVESTIGATION: Investigation figures describe a key experiments hypothesis, methods, results, and conclusionTEACHABLE ART: Investigation figures describe a key experiments hypothesis, methods, results, and conclusion
FRONTIERS: In each chapter, these real-world applications of important concepts introduce students to fascinating ongoing avenues of researchNew_to_this_edition
New co-author, Richard W. Hill, who takes over the books coverage of animal form and function (Part V)Thorough Updating Throughout, bringing in recent research relevant to essential concepts in biology

OPENING STORYChapters capture student attention from the outset with a story that sets up an interesting question in a recognizable realworld context (How does caffeine work at the cell membrane?) Students revisit this question and its answer at the end of the chapter, having learned the necessary information to comprehend it.KEY CONCEPTSEach chapter is organized into sections, each of which explores a single essential concept in light of established facts and relevant experimental evidence. The following features support this conceptual approach:A Key Concepts list begins each chapter.Do You Understand the Concept? questions conclude each section, progressing from simple recall questions to questions that require critical thinking at higher levels of Blooms Taxonomy.Apply the Concept critical thinking exercises, embedded in the chapter, ask students to interpret data and draw conclusions. These exercises can be used inclass (e.g., with "clickers" or to stimulate class discussion) or assigned as homework.A Summary provides a thorough review of chapter content, including key figures, and directs students to relevant resources online.RESEARCH TOOLSThroughout Principles of Life, this feature focuses on techniques and quantitative methods scientists use to investigate biological systems.INVESTIGATIONInvestigation figures describe a key experiments hypothesis, methods, results, and conclusion.Analyze the Data are additional sections where students analyze real data from the experiments.Working with Data exercises turn these figures into inclass inquiry problems, discussions, or homework assignments. They contain associated questions and expanded materials that are available online.LINKSThese crossreferences show students the integrative nature of biology by referring them to a more thorough discussion of a key term elsewhere in the book.TEACHABLE ARTInvestigation figures describe a key experiments hypothesis, methods, results, and conclusion.Balloon captions in the figures help students understand the story at a glance, without necessarily relying on the associated text.FRONTIERSIn each chapter, these realworld applications of important concepts introduce students to fascinating ongoing avenues of research.
