Back Issues

Classroom

In this section of Resonance, we invite readers to pose questions likely to be raised in a classroom situation. We may suggest strategies for dealing with them, or invite responses, or both. "Classroom" is equally a forum for raising broader issues and sharing personal experiences and viewpoints on matters related to teaching and learning science.

Project Lifescape 10. 
The Macaques of India

Project Lifescape aims to make available user-friendly accounts of a set of about 1500 species and higher taxonomic categories of target taxa to nurture the study of living organisms as a part of teaching biology and other related subjects in India. These accounts would be in a standardised format to promote studies whose results would be comparable and could eventually feed into a nationwide programme of monitoring a range of taxa of conservation and economic significance. These accounts are expected to be as non-technical as possible. This part includes an article on macaques of India with a special reference to bonnet macaque.
