Media Activities
We have created a media support package for Biology: Science for Life that will help
instructors teach the course and help students achieve biological and scientific literacy
through the exploration of contemporary issues and relevant biological concepts. Each
activity specifically addresses selected chapter learning objectives through animation
and exploration of the Internet. The learning objectives for each activity are listed in
www the activity and in the Instructor’s Resource
Media Activity 1.1: Hypothesis Testing Manual, making it easy to identify and
assign useful activities. Activities are iden-
tified in the book by the tabs in the margins and by a brief description at the end of
each chapter. Instructors have access to the complete activities on the Instructor’s
Resource Library and CD-ROM that they can integrate into their presentations.
