These workbooks are designed to satisfy the requirements of several programs/courses. These include: Advanced Placement Biology (AP Biology); International Baccalaureate (IBO) Diploma course; Honors Biology; general biology courses taught grades 10-12. Key features: A unique hybrid of textbook, study guide, and activity workbook gives students a sound grasp of biological principles; interactive write-on format engages students and increases motivation; highly visual delivery of information facilitates the achievement of specific learning outcomes: inquiry, self-motivation, sound knowledge of basics, and independence in learning; tear-out pages allow submission of work for marking, or inclusion in student file with own notes; updated annually; annotated diagrams clearly explain biological concepts; comprehensive learning objectives that may be adapted to any general biology course (grades 10-12); extensive references to resources: textbooks, periodicals, web sites; comprehensive model answers book with suggested answers for all activities. Main changes in the 2011 edition: This significant revision of the Senior Biology 1 Student Workbook continues to develop material for Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Biology within the framework of appropriate contexts. A new chapter design emphasises important learning outcomes, key concepts, and appropriate use of scientific terms. New activities in every chapter focus on acquiring competency in scientific literacy and concept maps encourage students to take an interdisciplinary view of each topic.
