Biology Content Resources

A+ Biology Lab Companion

The A+ Biology Lab Companion has been designed specifically for teacher-use in the incorporation of laboratory and hands-on techniques and procedures in their science curriculum. It is a flexible compendium, which may be utilized in conjunction with or to enhance existing curricula. Additionally, it may serve as a source for teachers in their own quest for hands-on and lab based science ideas.

This Lab Companion is not a lab manual for students. Specific safety and age appropriateness have not been inclusive of the development of the Lab Companion and therefore some of the techniques and procedures could result in unsafe practices if implemented as a student lab manual.

It is planned that the Lab Companion will be a fluid document, enhanced and improved upon over time as science educators add their ideas to it.
