Aids for Students and Instructors Technology We offer students and professors various technology products to support the fifth edition of
Essential Study Partner (ESP) CD-ROM This CD-ROM tutorial supports and enhances the material presented in the fifth edition of Biology. The ESP is offered free with the text and will enhance student learning with the use of high quality 3-D animations, activities that require the student to be active in the learning process, module and unit quizzes that take the student back into the material on the CD to review immediately, and illustrated overviews of key topics. Students will find the ESP to be a very valuable study tool.
Visual Resource Library CD-Rom
The WCB/McGraw-Hill
Visual Resource Library CD-ROM for Biology contains nearly all of the illustrations found in the fifth edition. The CD-ROM contains an easy-to-use program that enables users to quickly view images, and easily import the images into PowerPoint to create multimedia presentations or use the already prepared PowerPoint presentations.In addition to this text-specific
Visual Resource Library CD-Rom, we offer two additional CD-Roms, Visual Resource Library for Botany and for Environmental Science. Instructors can enhance classroom presentations by using images from these two CD-Roms.The Dynamic Human CD-ROM Version 2.0
This guide to anatomy and physiology interactively illustrates the complex relationships between anatomical structures and their functions in the human body. Realistic 3-D visuals are the premier feature of this exciting learning tool.
Explorations in Human Biology CD-ROM; Explorations in Cell Biology and Genetics
CD-ROM
These interactive CDs, by George Johnson, feature 33 different interactive modules that cover key topics in biology.
Virtual Physiology Laboratory CD-ROM
This CD-ROM features ten simulations of the most common and important animal-based experiments ordinarily performed in introductory lab courses. The program contains video, audio, and text to clarify complex physiological functions.
Life Science Living Lexicon CD-ROM
A Life Science Living Lexicon
CD-ROM contains a comprehensive collection of life science terms, including definitions of their roots, prefixes, and suffixes as well as audio pronunciations and illustrations. The Lexicon is student interactive, providing quizzing and notetaking capabilities. It contains 4,500 terms, which can be broken down for study into the following categories: anatomy and physiology, botany, cell and molecular biology, genetics, ecology and evolution, and zoology.Exploring the Internet on the Raven/Johnson Web Site
http://auth.mhhe.com/biolink
This text-specific site has been developed exclusively for users of the fifth edition of
Biology. When visiting the site, students can access additional study aids including quizzes, explore links to other relevant biology sites, catch up on current information, and pursue other activities, including content updates and enhancement chapters.Life Science Animations 3-D Videotape
The
Life Science Animations 3-D videotape contains 42 high-quality 3-D animations. These animations bring visual movement to biological processes that are difficult to understand. These 42 animations also appear as part of the Essential Study Partner CD-ROM, which provides students with a wonderful reinforcement of concepts and biological processes.Life Science Animations Videotape Series (6 tapes)
Complex processes such as active transport and osmosis come to life in this series. Students can now review more than 65 animations (in the six-tape set) of the most difficult to learn concepts.
Biology Start Up Software (Mac Only)
This 5-set computer tutorial has complete coverage of basic biological principles such as cellular respiration and cell division.
Math Prep for Biology Software
With this computer tutorial, students are given practice with their math skills through biology-specific math applications. This tutorial allows students to master their math skills for further life science study.
Customization
Chapter-by-chapter customization allows you to customize
Biology to fit your ideal course. Select only the chapters you use, and WCB/McGraw-Hill will bind them in full color. Contact your WCB/McGraw-Hill sales representative for more information or call 1-800-228-0634.Additional Textbook Aids
Course Solutions.
To help instructors incorporate technology and additional study aids into their course, a text-specific Course Solutions manual is available. Organized by chapter, the Course Solutions offers suggestions on how ancillaries can be used in lecture and as enhancements outside of lecture.Student Study Guide,
written by Margaret Gould Burke and Ronald M. Taylor, contains chapter overviews for review and page-referenced key terms as well as student exercises in the form of fill-in-the-blank, matching, multiple-choice, and essay questions. Complete answers and explanations for the exercises are provided at the end of each chapter.Biology Laboratory Manual,
a full-color lab manual written by Darrell S. Vodopich of Baylor University and Randy Moore of the University of Louisville, contains approximately fifty laboratory exercises. The lab manual is customizable by chapter in full color and is accompanied by a Laboratory Resource Guide.Transparency Set of 300 acetates contains 300 images from the text. The text contains an entirely new art program so this set of transparencies will be completely new.
InstructorĘs Manual and Test Item File,
written by Linda Van Thiel of Wayne State University, contains chapter synopsis, chapter objectives, key terms, chapter outline, instructional strategy, and a list of related visual resources. The manual also provides lists of biological supply companies, and media resources as well as answers to the review questions in the text. The test item file, prepared by L. Rao Ayyagari of Lindenwood College, is available in softcover or on disk (Microtest) in Mac and Windows platforms. The Test Item File contains an average of forty questions per chapter in the form of fill-in-the-blank, multiple-choice, and matching.Additional Supplements
How Scientists Think
A paperbound text describing twenty-one experiments that have shaped our understanding of genetics and molecular biology. It fosters critical thinking and reinforces the scientific method.
by Frank D. CoxThis booklet describes how AIDS and related diseases are commonly spread so that readers can protect themselves and their friends against this debilitating and deadly disease. This booklet is updated quarterly to give readers the most current information.
Basic Chemistry for Biology, second edition,
A self-paced book that leads students through basic concepts of inorganic and organic chemistry.
How to Study Science, 2nd Edition
This excellent workbook offers students helpful suggestions for meeting the considerable challenges of a college science course. It offers tips on how to take notes, how to get the most out of laboratories, and how to overcome science anxiety. The book's unique design helps students develop critical thinking skills while facilitating careful notetaking.
Critical Thinking Case Study Workbook
This ancillary includes 34 critical thinking case studies that are designed to immerse students in the "process of science" and challenge them to solve problems in the same way biologists do. The case studies are divided into three levels of difficulty (introductory, intermediate, and advanced) to afford instructors greater choice and flexibility. An answer key accompanies this workbook.
