Changing the World of Biology Education

The cover page of the book 'Biology' by Miller and Levine.

Miller & Levine Biology offers educators an unprecedented opportunity to address the needs of today's classroom in a fresh new way with:

  • Integrated inquiry throughout each lesson

  • Engaging visuals that enhance instruction

  • The next-generation of digital instruction built for 21st Century learners

  • Differentiated instruction and accessible content that helps to address all types and levels of learners

Deepen Understanding Through Inquiry

Miller & Levine Biology encourages inquiry-based discovery by asking students to think like scientists through a variety of organizing principles and features.

What's the Big Idea?

Big Ideas identify the fundamental and recurring themes of biology. Look for the Big Idea logo throughout each lesson to help organize unifying chapter concepts.

Hands on, Minds on

Quick Labs provide an engaging way to think about the concepts presented in each chapter.

Analyzing Data provides practice in working with real data—one of the tools scientists use in their investigations.

Chapter Mystery and solve the Chapter Mystery of a chapter.

Never Stop Exploring Your World

Each chapter begins and ends with a Chapter Mystery that asks students to explore a mystery that connects back to the Big Idea of the chapter. The Untamed Science® team then brings the core concept of the mystery to life with one video per chapter focusing on the concept's application in the world.
