Thinking Connections uses engaging concept maps to teach life science and help you easily evaluate your students' knowledge of key life science connections.

Methods
Concept Files provide the necessary information to complete the lessons. Students carefully analyze and synthesize this information, then fill in the relationships on the concept maps. Each lesson includes hints, starting points, and two maps (an easier one and a more challenging one) for students of varying abilities.

Teaching Support
Easy-to-follow explanations, suggestions, and answers make these activities simple and effective to teach. No previous experience with concept maps is needed.

Books on CD
Books on CD allow you to print black-and-white activities from your own printer. These books on CD are useful alternatives to photocopying. Requires Acrobat Reader.
