Biology 5th Edition

by Campbell, Reece, Mitchell
©1999 by Benjamin Cummings, an imprint of Addison Wesley

The purpose of the following Focus Lessons for Biology 5th Edition is to assist you in planning your daily lessons by highlighting important ideas and concepts in each chapter, as well as the relevant sections in the program's ancillaries. The Focus Lessons, written by an experienced AP* teacher and a curriculum developer and test prep author, suggest strategies for assessing how well your students understand the important points in each chapter and also provide test-taking tips that will help your students prepare for and take the AP* Biology test successfully.
