Fundamentals of Biology Lab Manual

Marks and Hochman Adler started developing their OER lab manual for Introduction to Biology when they became frustrated with the paid options and wanted equitable options for their students. Both Marks and Hochman Adler are trailblazers in their field when it comes to accessibility for their students. This lab manual was created in two years with end user testing with students to find what worked and didn't work. This final product is for the students.
