SynopsisThis workbook offers an investigative case study for each unit of Campbell BIOLOGY, Ninth Edition, and two case studies that relate to multiple units. Each case study requires you to synthesize information from the textbook and apply that knowledge to a real-world scenario as you evaluate new information, analyze evidence, plot data, or seek explanations., This workbook offers ten investigative cases. Each case study requires students to synthesize information from multiple chapters of the text and apply that knowledge to a real-world scenario as they pose hypotheses, gather new information, analyze evidence, graph data, and draw conclusions.
