Biology/Chemistry Classroom Resources

CORD Biology: Science in Context teaches biology with a career focus. With an emphasis on contextual learning, CORD Biology is a biology course that puts topics in perspective for students by relating them to work and careers in science or personal experiences. Coordinated text, lab, and video materials acknowledge the diversity of learning styles in today's classroom. Students actively practice and process skills and concepts within the context of real-world problems, and learn to apply them effectively to new situations. Special features of this 24-chapter text include: "What Will I Learn" sections at the opening of each chapter, career profiles that introduce students to careers that require the skills they are learning, hands-on activities and laboratory investigations, and career applications that relate academics to the working world.
