WHO
SELECTS
THIS BOOK?
..... Teachers who ...
• want up-to-date lessons that are brief, concisely written,
and thoroughly-illustrated;*
• would like to implement a teacher-friendly method to
support outlining (via handwritten model outlines of all lessons);
[See the tab TEACH OUTLINING.]
• appreciate clearly-separated optional readings to challenge
highly motivated students.
* Note: For the last 33 years of my 42-year career, I had students who were reading on, or slightly below, grade level. I chose the forerunner of this textbook because it enabled me to have my students self-teach most of the content - freeing up class time for more hands-on work. After I retired, the author supported me in updating the book. In my final 29 years of teaching, I used model outlines to help my students learn what I consider to be the most widely-applicable study strategy - outlining.

DISCOVERING LIFE SCIENCE is also well suited for teachers who...
• appreciate a free teacher's guide that includes dozens of links to relevant videos;
• prefer to offer their students a "screen break;"
• recognize that, for learning, moving a pencil beats keyboarding;;
• expect a book's illustrations and information to promote inclusion;
• consider evolution to be a fundamental concept of biology;
• acknowledge that there is credible data indicating that human activity is a key
factor in climate change - but feel that students should be made aware that we
have the capacity to face this challenge;
• want a quick way to provide lessons for a substitute teacher.
