For introductory courses for biology majors.

This package includes MasteringBiology^™.

Uniquely engages biology students in active learning, scientific thinking, and skill development.

Scott Freeman’s Biological Science is beloved for its Socratic narrative style, its emphasis on experimental evidence, and its dedication to active learning. Science education research indicates that true mastery of content requires a move away from memorization towards active engagement with the material in a focused, personal way. Biological Science is designed to equip students with strategies to assess their level of understanding and identify the types of cognitive skills that need improvement.

With the Sixth Edition, content has been streamlined with an emphasis on core concepts and core competencies from the Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education report. The text’s unique BioSkills section is now placed after Chapter 1 to help students develop key skills needed to become a scientist, new “Making Models” boxes guide learners in interpreting and creating models, and new “Put It all Together” case studies conclude each chapter and help students see connections between chapter content and current, real-world research questions. New, engaging content includes updated coverage of global climate change, advances in genomic editing, and recent insights into the evolution of land plants. The features in the text are supported and integrated with MasteringBiology activities, Learning Catalytics^™, and new whiteboard videos that guide students in completing the “Making Models” assignments.

Personalize learning with MasteringBiology.

MasteringBiology from Pearson is the leading online homework, tutorial, and assessment system, designed to improve results by engaging students before, during, and after class with powerful content and activities. Instructors ensure students arrive ready to learn by assigning educationally effective content before class and encourage critical thinking and retention with in-class resources such as Learning Catalytics^™. Students can further master concepts after class through traditional and adaptive homework assignments that provide hints and answer-specific feedback. The Mastering gradebook records scores for all automatically graded assignments in one place, while diagnostic tools give instructors access to rich data to assess student understanding and misconceptions.

Mastering brings learning full circle by continuously adapting to each student and making learning more personal than ever–before, during, and after class.

注意：這個版本的內容與傳統的教科書相同，但以方便的三孔鑽孔活頁形式呈現。Books a la Carte也提供了很好的價值，這種格式的價格比新教科書低得多。在購買之前，請與您的教師核對或查閱課程大綱，以確保您選擇了正確的ISBN。每個標題都有幾個版本的Pearson的MyLab & Mastering產品，包括為個別學校定制的版本，並且註冊是不可轉讓的。此外，您可能需要一個由您的教師提供的CourseID來註冊和使用Pearson的MyLab & Mastering產品。

適用於生物專業的入門課程。

此套餐包括MasteringBiology^™。

獨特地讓生物學生參與主動學習、科學思維和技能發展。

Scott Freeman的生物科學因其蘇格拉底式的敘述風格、對實驗證據的強調和對主動學習的承諾而受到喜愛。科學教育研究表明，真正掌握內容需要從記憶轉向以專注、個人化的方式與材料進行積極互動。 生物科學旨在為學生提供評估他們的理解水平和確定需要改進的認知技能類型的策略。

在第六版中，內容已經簡化，強調了《本科生生物教育的願景與變革》報告中的核心概念和核心能力。該教材獨特的BioSkills部分現在放在第1章之後，以幫助學生發展成為科學家所需的關鍵技能，新的“製作模型”框引導學習者解釋和創建模型，新的“將所有內容結合起來”案例研究結束每章並幫助學生看到章節內容與當前真實世界的研究問題之間的聯繫。新的、引人入勝的內容包括全球氣候變化的最新報導、基因組編輯的進展以及對陸地植物進化的最新見解。教材中的特色與MasteringBiology活動、Learning Catalytics^™和新的白板視頻相互支持和整合，引導學生完成“製作模型”任務。

通過MasteringBiology個性化學習。

Pearson的MasteringBiology是領先的在線作業、教程和評估系統，旨在通過強大的內容和活動在課前、課中和課後吸引學生，提高學習效果。教師可以在課前分配教育有效的內容，確保學生準備好學習，並通過課堂資源如Learning Catalytics^™鼓勵批判性思維和記憶。學生可以通過傳統和自適應的作業任務在課後進一步掌握概念，這些作業提供提示和特定答案的反饋。Mastering成績簿將所有自動評分的作業成績記錄在一個地方，而診斷工具則使教師可以獲得豐富的數據來評估學生的理解和誤解。
