The Cell
Structure, Functions and Processes

The Cell combines the strengths of interactive multimedia technology and print-based materials to form a unique resource that will enhance your teaching of Biology

The Cell CD-ROM contains 3D graphics, video clips, micrographs, self-test quizzes, diagrams, animations, and much more to engage your students in an active and challenging learning environment.

The Cell Teacher's Manual offers suggestions on the effective classroom use of interactive multimedia, links to the curriculum framework, and contains student worksheets and a case study with appropriate answers.

Inside The Cell CD-ROM

Three-dimensional cell and organelle models provide a new perspective on the structure and function of typical plant and animal cells and their associated organelles.

Features include challenging interactive quizzes, electron micrograph scans, microscope images and a virtual microscope.

Module 1 - Introduction to the Cell
