Book Description
This text was created for a Washington State HS+ course taught at Tacoma Community College (TCC). The goal of the course is to prepare students for transition to college level science courses by building content knowledge and vocabulary. Through this text and course content, we hope to engage students by presenting scientific concepts in a way that is relevant and meaningful.
I chose to use Biology and the Citizen, by Colleen Jones and Elisa Taylor, as the foundational text because the organization of information aligned with the course outcomes developed by TCC ABE faculty in collaboration with TCC Biology faculty. Since this course is designed for an adult high school completion course, I adapted the original text by reorganizing and adding information as needed to provide appropriate support and to foster the development of scientific literacy skills.
