Getting Techie with Biology

Share/Save/Bookmark
Amsco has published Biotechnology. It is designed for use as a text at the middle-school level, for either a one-term or two-term course in biotechnology, or as a supplementary text for a middle school life science course, where a teacher could incorporate some “hot topics” such as genetic engineering, cloning, and stem cells into their curriculum. The book also can be used at the high-school level as a supplementary text in a biology class, in alternative high schools, and for a special education science class.

The book contains six chapters, each comprised of several numbered Lessons (followed by a set of review questions), followed by one Student Mini-Lab, one Graphing Skills exercise, one Student Activity, and completed by a Chapter Review section of questions and a vocabulary review crossword puzzle. (Note: In some cases, there will be two versions of a Student Activity, to facilitate differentiated instruction.) Also includes a Glossary and an Index. A CD edition of the text is bound in, so that students can use it on a computer or eBook reader, as well as print the numerous hands-on student activities.

To see samples of the book visit our Web site and they can be found in the Free Downloads section.
