Ch 01 Assignment – Themes of biology and science

Please start your work this week by watching the linked videos, reading chapter 1 of your textbook, and filling out the reading guide:

Complete the ‘before class’ portion of the reading guide. You can fill it in as you read and watch videos. It will be due before the second day of class. Please read this page about how and why we use reading guides in this class. Note that unless you manipulate the file, you won’t be able to save work you do electronically. I will usually provide a hard copy for you during class. If you are viewing this from within a Canvas page, please right-click one of the links (such as this one) and open the page in a new browser window or tab. This will allow you to print it without the Canvas page.
