By focusing on four representative marine animals, the marine life series of programs enables students to compare and contrast anatomical structures and biological functions and learn in detail how these fascinating creatures survive.

Biology teachers will find that it is easy to focus the attention of students on learning the names of the structures as well as the related life-supporting functions of these structures using this interactive CD-ROM.

Detailed diagrams are used to illustrate biological processes. Students will develop an appreciation for the simple beauty of marine invertebrates.

 

Each lesson ends with a comprehension check which is designed to measure the student's understanding of the key concepts presented in the lesson. A percentage score is reported for this component of the program.

A simple menu system provides direct access to topics. Students can easily continue their lesson from their previous point in the sequence by selecting an item from the menu.

Researchers from marine biology centers in San Diego, CA provided some of the information presented in this program.

 Features

Color diagrams allow students easy access to a complete description while exploring anatomical structures and functions.
