This book takes students from the basic beginnings to a more thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts in organic and biochemistry. the concepts in this textbook are presented in small segments in a form that encourages students to explore and discover patterns and ideas. Diagrams, models, chemical reaction equations, and tables are used to present the information. a step-by-Step series of critical thinking questions follows each section to guide the student to important observations and to encourage students to work as a group to confirm the answers. Each activity begins with a list of prerequisite concepts and learning objectives. the activity concludes with exercises that reinforce, expand, and extend the concepts presented. the topics covered range from the basics of naming the simplest organic compounds to the applications of the principles of organic chemistry to biochemical molecules and processes. Julie K. Abrahamson, B.A. Bethany College, Kansas (1979), Ph.D. University of Oklahoma (1984), has been teaching general and introductory chemistry courses at the University of North Dakota since 1992. Her emphasis has been in courses intended for pre-Nursing students, where she has become well acquainted with their needs and challenges as they learn chemistry. in 2006, a workshop in "Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning" introduced new insights into alternatives to traditional lecture methods. since that time, Abrahamson has used Guided Inquiry approaches in her courses where possible, and has worked to develop new materials suited for these courses.

Authors offer diverse perspectives on pedagogy, and chapters focus on topics such as the development of visual literacy, pedagogies and practices, and implementation.

This workbook is a companion to the introductory college-level textbook, Molecular Biology: Concepts for Inquiry. The workbook contains inquiry explorations that that have been designed for use in the classroom, but could also be used for individual study. It is appropriate for college courses and high school courses taught at the college level. CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES: Students explore evidence through logic to construct an understanding of concepts and eliminate misconceptions. Students elaborate on their understanding by applying it to new situations. These activities are intended to be conducted in a classroom where an instructor periodically guides student thinking in small groups and leads class discussions of key concepts following activities. Inquiry activities include: introductory biochemistry, how proteins contribute to modes of inheritance, the structure and function of fluorescent proteins, the conceptual basis of PCR, the function of restriction enzymes and their use in engineering, the design of the mutagenesis of fluorescent proteins through Gibson assembly, analysis of an iGEM device, the design of a Golden Gate assembly of gene parts, epigenetic inheritance in imprinted diseases, analysis of the genetics of cancer (childhood vs. adult; inherited predisposition vs. sporadic), genome instability at telomeres, evaluation of next-generation DNA sequencing strategies, and the design of a CRISPR RNA to cure a genetic disease. A subset of the class activities focuses on pre- or post-experiment analyses that could either stand alone or could be used as a conceptual framework around which experiments could be conducted. Suggested experiments and other supporting materials are provided on the author's website, https://hackettmolecularbiology.blogspot.com/. Because the paperback workbook is printed in black and white to reduce cost to the student, color images for the one activity (fluorescent proteins) that would be best in color are also provided on the author's website and the Kindle eBook includes these images in color. CLASSROOM DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: These open-ended questions serve as the basis for class discussions following Molecular Biology: Concepts for Inquiry textbook reading assignments. These readings and discussions substitute for most direct lecture in explaining concepts and they are also accompanied by online self-assessment reading comprehension quizzes. The author will distribute quiz questions to instructors for their own editing and distribution or individuals may take the author's version of quizzes. UNIT SELF-ASSESSMENTS: Students can assess their overall conceptual understanding through these assessment questions and the answers that are provided. APPENDICES AND REFERENCE MATERIALS: Self-assessment answers, guidelines for basic molecular biology laboratory techniques including PCR and restriction digests, explanations of the function of bacterial and phage promoters commonly used in engineering, list of commonly-used restriction enzymes, structures of amino acids, genetic code, periodic table, and other references. AUTHOR RECOMMENDATIONS: 1) Because it is intended that students will write in this workbook, purchasing the paperback version is recommended. The Kindle eBook is available as a free MatchBook after purchase of the paperback. 2) If you are studying on your own instead of using this workbook as part of a class, you might consider purchasing the teacher's guide, Molecular Biology Concepts for Inquiry: A Guide to Inquiry. The teacher's guide, available June-July 2019, will contain the contents of this workbook, answers, commentary, and notes to the teacher about how to teach Molecular Biology through Inquiry and suggestions on how to guide students in the classroom.
