California Miller & Levine Biology
California Miller & Levine Biology is developed by preeminent biologists and passionate educators Ken Miller and Joe Levine. This blended print and digital curriculum was written specifically for California.
- Students are immersed in inquiry as they think, investigate, and talk about biology
- They interact with phenomena through case studies, problem-based learning, and inquiry-focused lab experiments
- California’s Environmental Principles and Concepts (EP&Cs) integrated in the core course fuel student inquiry by applying EP&Cs in chapter activities
