Simple, safe experiments encourage readers to explore biology in "Try This" boxes. "What Do You Think?: panels pose questions that test the reader's comprehension. "Applications" boxes show how biological knowledge enhances daily life and technology, while "Red Herring" boxes outline failed theories.
