Textbook: Biology, The Dynamics of Life

Book Title: Biology, The Dynamics of Life (Teacher Wraparound Edition) Elephants are very big in this book. They appear on four pages in double page spreads.

Section 2.1 Problem-Solving Methods in Biology; pages 26 & 27 These pages use the topic of elephant communication as the basis for teaching certain aspects of scientific method. They could have used whale sounds or any other animal sounds to discuss communication research but chose elephants.

Section 2.1 Problem-Solving Methods in Biology; pages 38 & 39 These pages discuss scientific journals and data sharing within the scientific community. The topic of elephant communications is the common thread with the material on pages 26 and 27 of the same book. The right side page illustrates the method used by researchers in placing their sound detection and recording instruments among the elephant herd members.
