Features
  • Be Prepared: Each unit begins with a set of learning goals to prepare students for what they are expected to know after completing the lab. Pre-Lab Exercises (PLEs) help students prepare for the lab through defining key terms and through labeling and coloring activities. PLEs in the Core Concepts version have been tailored for a one-semester course.
  • Be Organized: Model Inventories provide an organized way for students to catalog the specimens they see in the lab. Anatomy lists contain fewer structures than the original version of the lab manual and also include pronunciations of the key A&P terms.
  • Be Focused: Clear photographs and illustrations highlight the ideas and structures that students need to master.
  • Be Active: Activities in Core Concepts are similar in approach to the full version, but each activity has been modified to meet the learning outcomes of the one-semester course. Students learn best when they are actively involved in the laboratory. Core Concepts asks students to be active by describing, labeling, writing, coloring, and drawing.
  • Be Sure: The Core Concepts edition contains a single “Unit Quiz” at the end of each chapter consisting of labeling, fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice, and sequencing questions that test students’ ability to retain the content they learned in the lab.
