Biology Study of Life

It is a great lab manual for high school students. Some activities can be done in classroom and do not require a lab setting. Students can get deeper understanding without the hassle of using complicated chemicals or lab tools. It is a must have for any high school teacher who is teaching biology.

I used this textbook as a supplement study tool for my high school biology class. This is one of the most comprehensive texts that I've come across. The content is easy to understand and the diagrams are coherent. If you are looking for a book that translates biological jargon, this is the definitely the one. This book has helped me get throught the SAT II's and other standardized tests. I also recommend buying the test data bank, which also runs by the same author and publisher. The depth of the topics covered, do not reach beyond a high school level general biology class. For AP Biology or general biology in college, I suggest you to purchase "Life on Earth" by Gerald and Teresa Audesirk or "Biology" by Neil A. Campbell and Jane B. Reece.
