商品描述

Experience the magic of biology in your own home lab. This hands-on introduction includes more than 30 educational (and fun) experiments that help you explore this fascinating field on your own. Perfect for middle- and high-school students and DIY enthusiasts, this full-color guide teaches you the basics of biology lab work and shows you how to set up a safe lab at home.

The Illustrated Guide to Home Biology Experiments is also written with the needs of homeschoolers firmly in mind, as well as adults who are eager to explore the science of nature as a life-long hobby. To get the most from the experiments, we recommend using this guide in conjunction with a standard biology text, such as the freely downloadable CK-12 Biology (ck-12.org).

  • Master the use of the microscope, including sectioning and staining
  • Build and observe microcosms, soda-bottle worlds of pond life
  • Investigate the chemistry of life from simple acids, bases, and buffers to complex carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, enzymes, and DNA
  • Extract, isolate, and observe DNA
  • Explore photosynthesis, osmosis, nitrogen fixation, and other life processes
  • Investigate the cell cycle (mitosis and cytokinesis)
  • Observe populations and ecosystems, and perform air and water pollution tests
  • Investigate genetics and inheritance
  • Do hands-on microbiology, from simple culturing to micro-evolution of bacteria by forced selection
  • Gain hands-on lab experience to prepare for the AP Biology exam

Through their company, The Home Scientist, LLC (thehomescientist.com/biology), the authors also offer inexpensive custom kits that provide specialized equipment and supplies you’ll need to complete the experiments. Add a microscope and some common household items and you’re good to go.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在你自己的家庭實驗室中體驗生物學的魔力。這本實踐性的入門指南包含了30多個教育性(且有趣)的實驗,幫助你自主探索這個迷人的領域。適合中學和高中學生以及DIY愛好者,這本全彩色指南教你生物實驗室工作的基礎知識,並指導你如何在家中建立一個安全的實驗室。

《插圖指南:家庭生物實驗》也考慮到了在家教育的需求,以及那些渴望將自然科學作為終身愛好的成年人。為了充分利用這些實驗,我們建議您將本指南與標準的生物教科書一起使用,例如可免費下載的《CK-12生物學》(ck-12.org)。

本書的特點包括:
- 掌握使用顯微鏡的技巧,包括切片和染色
- 建立並觀察微觀世界,如池塘生物的蘇打水瓶生態系統
- 探索生命的化學,從簡單的酸、鹼和緩衝劑到複雜的碳水化合物、蛋白質、脂質、酶和DNA
- 提取、分離和觀察DNA
- 探索光合作用、滲透壓、固氮和其他生命過程
- 研究細胞週期(有絲分裂和細胞質分裂)
- 觀察人口和生態系統,進行空氣和水污染測試
- 研究遺傳學和遺傳
- 進行實踐性的微生物學實驗,從簡單的培養到通過強制選擇使細菌進行微進化
- 獲得實踐性的實驗室經驗,為AP生物學考試做好準備

通過他們的公司The Home Scientist, LLC(thehomescientist.com/biology),作者還提供廉價的定制套件,提供您完成實驗所需的專業設備和用品。只需添加一台顯微鏡和一些常見的家庭用品,您就可以開始進行實驗了。
