The organic chemistry may be somewhat complex for high school students. Slater presents a very interesting collection of topics, showing the diversity of life and behaviour. This could be a very good resource for projects, essays, etc. Observation and experimentation are shown to be basic to science. This book could be used to develop all the DSLs to some degree.
Excellent photography is used.
McNeill, Alexander, R., ed. A delightful book full of excellent pictures and diagrams, in which the text not only describes organisms, but also outlines their classification and modifications to previous group adaptations. A host of information on special features that describe development of a certain structure or organ is also provided. Key Science Concepts and the Processes of Science are supported by this material. Included are a table of contents, glossary, bibliography and an index.
