Stories You Can Count On: 51 Case
Studies With Quantitative Reasoning in Biology
By: Clyde Freeman Herreid, Nancy A. Schiller, and Ky F. Herreid
How do we now whether energy drinks really boost energy, cell phones cause cancer, or Super Bugs are going to render antibiotics ineffective? Science Stories You Can Count On weaves real-life questions like these into 51 case studies. The case studies are designed to engage students in 12 areas of general biology, from the scientific methods to microbiology to plant forms and functions. But that’s not all: The cases also promote data literacy by making graphical analysis and statistical and logical reasoning important parts of each store.

Science Stories:
Using Case Studies to Teach Critical Thinking
By: Clyde Freeman Herreid, Nancy A. Schiller, and Ky F. Herreid Authors Clyde Freeman Herreid, Nancy Schiller, and Ky Herreid have wisely surmised that stories put “flesh and bones” on scientific methods and provide an inside look at scientists in action. Better still, the stories or case studies lay the groundwork for understanding science and developing critical-thinking skills. These freshly drawn case studies—organized into categories of history, experimental design, unusual claims, science and society, the media, and ethics—are intended for use in college-level methods courses. |
