Designed to help students understand the relationship between physiology and their personal lives. This laboratory-based text allows students to experience a variety of topics within the field of physiology and to develop essential skills used by scientists when conducting investigations. These include observing phenomena, measuring objects, organizing information, recording and graphing data, and analyzing results. All exercises are interesting, enlightening and inexpensive (requiring only the simplest of common household equipment, such as string, rulers, and straws), and all provide opportunities for individual investigation.
