A Web Support Site for Biology Students and Instructors using the Dragonfly Book

Making Biology
Accessible On-Line

To help students and teachers take advantage of the ever-growing resources available on the world wide web, we've established a directory of resources for each chapter of the Dragonfly Book that can be accessed on-line. There's a web page for each chapter (which you can access from the Chapter Navigation tool), and we've provided links to at least 4 categories of resource (from our publisher, Prentice Hall) for each chapter:

Hot Links
Internet links to help students master and explore the chapter's subject matter.

Take it to the Net
An internet-based research and study project specially designed to reinforce important concepts from the chapter.

Chapter Self-Test
An on-line interactive quiz to test your understanding of the chapter

Teaching Links
On-line resources useful to instructors in covering the chapter material.

A Work in Progress

Two years ago, when Joe Levine and I began work on a new Biology textbook, we envisioned an easily accessible web support site that would open the scientific world of the Internet to students and teachers alike. This website is our first effort to do exactly that.

What we've done is to take a series of web resources put together by our publisher (Prentice Hall) and put them at your fingertips. In addition to our publisher's work, Joe and I have placed a great deal of our own material on the site, paying special attention to the "Issues" and "Technology and Society" features in our textbook.

So, take a look around. Visit one or two of the chapters, explore the links and web-based activities, and get a feel for what we've done to supplement the "Dragonfly Book."

We hope you'll enjoy and make use of what we've done with the site, and we also hope you'll let us know if there is anything you'd like to see on the website in the future.

 

Best Wishes,
