Dr. Ingrid Waldron, Professor of Biology at the University of Pennsylvania, proposes a High School Biology sequence with Hands-on, Minds-On learning activities in which the major biological concepts build in a logical progression. Topics and learning activities are not a complete biology course, but they provide a good basis for developing strong student understanding of a broad range of important biological concepts.

The expression "hands-on, minds-on" summarizes the philosophy that students will learn best if they are actively engaged and if their activities are closely linked to understanding important biological concepts.
