Easily adapted to the lab component of non-majors, introductory courses in human biology, or general biology courses, with a human emphasis.

Compatible with any textbook, this manual provides 33 stimulating laboratory exercises for either human biology or introductory biology courses for non-majors in which the human organism is emphasized. The level of rigor, user-friendly language, and abundant illustrations make this manual ideal for students who have had little, if any, prior science laboratory experience.

The Sixth Edition features a fresh, new design that provides students with an easy-to-follow lab resource, while simplifying instructors’ work in the lab. This new design organizes the manual’s wide range of material so that it is easily referenced. Re-drawn figures, updated headings, and the addition of biohazard safety information also make this edition unique.
