Insights in Biology: Journey of Discovery (Second Edition)
By Jacqueline S. Miller and the Insights in Biology Project Staff
Insights in Biology is a comprehensive first-year high school biology curriculum that emphasizes cellular and molecular biology as well as genetics, ecology, and evolution. The curriculum represents an innovative approach to teaching and learning introductory biology. This new approach incorporates the traditional discipline-specific concepts with an emphasis on presenting concepts in depth and in context. This program not only develops conceptual connections through a storyline that is relevant to students' lives, but also uses inquiry-based activities that focus on process-thinking skills students will use for a lifetime.

- Updated content on cell biology, genetics, molecular biology ecology and evolution
- Single, case-bound, four-color teacher and student editions

Available Separately:Different Stages Through the Ages (Developmental Biology) This separate module follows one of biology's greatest mysteries, the growth and development of a single, undifferentiated cell into a complex, functioning organism. Students explore the universal principles of growth and development and investigate external factors which may alter the course of this process: https://secure.edc.org/publications/prodview.asp?764
