Animal Diversity Laboratory Manual

The laboratory manual by Cleveland P. Hickman Jr. and Lee B. Kats, Laboratory Studies in Animal Diversity, is designed specifically for a survey course in zoology.

Life Science Animations

Difficult concepts like DNA replication, oxidation, and respiration can be learned through animation in this two CD-ROM set. This instructor tool provides 300 animations to present complex life science processes in a method that fosters easier learning and review.

The General Zoology Student Study Guide by Jane Aloi and Gina Erickson is a useful tool for student review and study. It provides self-testing, valuable study tips, and chapter summary activities, including critical thinking exercises.

Animal Diversity Online Learning Center

The Internet provides a new route for learning and studying. McGraw-Hill has designed a website to support the Zoology field of study. This Online Learning Center provides live links to related Internet sites that are described in Animal Diversity’s end-of-chapter pedagogy. In addition, you will find on-line quizzing, information about careers in Zoology, key terms flash cards, a cladistics laboratory, Zoology Essential Study Partner, and much more. You can find this site at www.mhhe.com/hickmanad4e. Just click on the cover of Animal Diversity.

Digital Zoology

Digital Zoology Interactive CD-ROM by Jon Houseman is an interactive guide to the specimens and materials covered in zoology laboratory and lecture sessions. Laboratory modules contain illustrations, photographs, annotations of the major structures of organisms, interactive quizzes, and video clips. Interactive cladograms within lab modules provide links to interactive synapomorphies of the various animal groups. Key terms throughout the program link to an interactive glossary. This CD-ROM is the perfect student study tool to promote learning both in and outside of the zoology laboratory, and also comes with an accompanying student workbook and website to provide additional study tips, exercises, and phyla characteristics.
