The Apprentice's Companion for Life Science
The Apprentice's Companion for Life Science
The Apprentice’s Companion for Life Science is a valuable new combination of experiment book, field manual, lab journal, sketch book, and commonplace book. Throughout the book, students are prompted to form hypotheses, take data, and revisit those hypotheses to assess, wherever possible, if they are supported by the data. The book is enhanced with images of art, poems, and quotes by respected scientists and naturalists.
Twenty-six activities are included, each keyed to one of the chapters in Life Science. For each chapter in Life Science, the Apprentice's Companion includes short activities requiring only a few minutes and longer experiments requiring the entire class period. Some activities extend over a period of several days.
