For Instructors:
Laboratory Manual (0-07-285870-2)
The Inquiry into Life Laboratory Manual, eleventh edition, is written by Dr. Sylvia Mader. With few exceptions, each chapter in the text has an accompanying laboratory exercise in the manual. Every laboratory has been written to help students learn the fundamental concepts of biology and the specific content of the chapter to which the lab relates, as well as gain a better understanding of the scientific method.
