Inquiries in Science® Biology Series - Help your students understand hard-to-grasp science concepts. Using a learning cycle of engage, explore, explain, extend, and evaluate, each kit features lab activities designed to actively engage students in learning essential science concepts through guided inquiry. Topics addressed by the kits were organized and selected based on data from numerous sources, including the National Research Council's National Science Education Standards, AAAS's Project 2061 Science Benchmarks, NAEP's Science Framework, and state science education standards from across the US.

Grades 9–12. Students explore the evidences of evolution through a variety of guided inquiry activities. First, these investigations introduce modern technologies that aid in the classification of phylogenic relationships and explore the anatomical similarities between evolutionarily related organisms. Students then use their knowledge to design and conduct an experiment based on antibiotic resistance.

• Observe antibiotic resistance in bacteria
• Discover how evolutionary relationships influence organism classification
• Practice microbiology lab techniques
