Biology for the Global Citizen is an accessible, introductory learning resource for students with varying backgrounds in biology. The text encourages students to be inquisitive, sensible, and attentive, so they may seek and demand truth in all areas of life and act as informed global citizens. Through engaging material, personal applications, and active learning experiences, students develop a basic understanding of how science, and biology in particular, are pertinent to their lives.
The text is comprised of a series of modules that include related laboratories. Each module explores key concepts in biology and features sections on applying science to life, quick review questions, and points of inquiry to facilitate learning. The laboratories, using computer simulations accessible through the free software tool NetLogo, reinforce the material, apply the scientific method, enhance students' quantitative literacy, employ data to support conclusions, and emphasize critical thinking and analysis. The units within the text cover essential chemistry concepts, cells, genetics, evolution and natural selection, and ecology and the environment.
Developed to increase students' interest in biology and demonstrate how key concepts in the discipline have application in their everyday lives, Biology for the Global Citizen is an exemplary resource for foundational courses in science and biology.
