Lumpe, Andrew T.; Scharmann, Lawrence C. – School Science and Mathematics, 1991
The results of an in-depth analysis of the lab activities found in two popular high school biology textbooks are presented. Activities were rated against 24 task categories that parallel skills or behaviors which reflect scientific inquiry, problem-solving skills, manipulative skills, and observational skills.
