`I love the book. There are a few specific bits that I really
appreciated in its capacity to build inquiring learners. The lab
activities, while small, are designed for inquiry and not
cookie-cutter-table-fillers. They really build on the idea that
students should experience events that prompt questioning and the
application of knowledge. They aren't the 10 page epics that I am
used to and I appreciate that. In fact, I think that students will
be able to
get more out of this than the others. The units are built into
wider topics such as transformation and energy, rather than content
areas. This is an outstanding way to help students see the sciences
as
intertwined topics of study and not as discrete silos of
information. As a teacher of DP Biology as well as MYP, it was
great to see the vertical alignment to get students ready for
success later on.'
