Life Science Animations Videotape Series

Do your students sometimes have trouble learning complex processes like DNA replication, oxidation respiration, synaptic transmission, active transport, or osmosis? This five-video series features more than 50 animations of key physiological processes, to help students visualize the concepts you're trying to explain.

These videos are perfect for your lecture, or you can place them on reserve in the library for students to review on their own. And the series is easy to use with Inquiry into Life, by Mader, because it's linked directly to the textbook. A special icon throughout the text indicates figures that correspond to the videos.
