Nutrition: Your Life Science

The integrated modular textbook and online MindTap provide an interactive, engaging learning experience. The seven modules include multiple layers of assessment to prepare students to demonstrate knowledge, apply the information, and master terminology. The automatically-graded assessments include homework questions, case studies, crossword puzzles, and exams.

Learning Goals frame each module at the beginning and end to emphasize the key concepts. In addition, Personal Improvement Goals demonstrate how students can apply the information to their own lives.

"T-Talk" lectures by author Jennifer Turley engage students and cover key concepts in each module (Five T-Talks per module).

"BioBeats" address major themes and organizing principles important to the study of nutrition. They often deal with the biological or chemical underpinnings of how our bodies work, how food becomes fuel, how one's genes affect one's health risks, and so on.

"Practices" throughout each module provide problem solving opportunities for students. These include Diet & Wellness Plus, data analysis, and demos.

"Quick Review" and "Take Ten Reflective Questions" reinforce key concepts at the end of each unit within a module.

On-page glossary terms help students learn the unique nutrition terminology throughout each module and focus on learning concepts.
