Biological Science, Canadian Edition, brings together Scott Freeman's pioneering active learning approach with carefully selected coverage of Canadian issues and research. Each page of the book is designed in the spirit of active learning, asking students to apply critical thinking skills as they learn key concepts. Accounts of researchers designing and analyzing real experiments, carefully punctuated by thoughtful questions and exercises, train introductory students in the process of DOING biology. Exciting biological research is carried out in Canada. Canadian researchers are cutting-edge scientists, work with or lead international teams, and design interesting, insightful experiments. The Canadian edition of Scott Freeman's Biological Science showcases Canadian issues and research, for example: the organic molecules on the Tagish Lake meteorite in BC, and the Genome Canada organization.
