This year we are using a new textbook (Biology by Miller & Levine). One of the features of this textbook is all the materials that are on-line. To access this on-line textbook should go to the Pearson publication's webpage ([]). This is the login page. Once logged in, I recommended to access the textbook materials by selecting (clicking on) 'Explore'.

Refer to the following web sites for information about spontaneous generation experiments we discussed in class.
