Ecology Experiments
Ecology is the study of the relationships between organisms and their living and nonliving environments. This field of science can be divided broadly into two areas: the relationship between an organism and its nonliving environment and the relationship between an organism and other organisms.
Ecology Experiments provides students and teachers with the tools they need to explore various ecological issues. The 20 new, hands-on experiments in this book allow students to learn more about this timely scientific field. |

 Long before Dolly the Sheep or bioengineered corn, there was the Red Canary-the first organism to be manipulated by genetic technology, back in the 1920s. The effort to produce a red canary invoked all of the deep issues that troubled genetic engineering decades later: the nature of genes and how they work, the specter of eugenics, and the relative roles of nature and nurture in determining what an organism is. |
