written by Dr. Sylvia Mader.
With few exceptions, each
chapter in the text has an
accompanying laboratory
exercise in the manual. Every
laboratory has been written to
help students learn the
fundamental concepts of
human biology and the
specific content of the chapter to which the lab relates, as
well as gain a better understanding of the scientific
method. ISBN 0-07-285799-4 Digital Content Manager
This collection of multimedia resources provides tools for
rich visual support of your lectures. You can utilize artwork
from the text in multiple formats to create customized
classroom presentations, visually based tests and quizzes,
dynamic course website content, or attractive printed
support materials. The following assets are grouped by
chapter on this cross-platform CD-ROM: Art Full-color digital files of all illustrations in the
book, plus the same art saved in an unlabeled
version, can be readily incorporated into lecture
presentations, exams, or custom-made classroom
materials. TextEdit Art Every line art figure is placed into a
PowerPoint slide that allows the user to revise,
move, or delete labels and leader lines as desired
for creation of customized presentations and/or for
testing purposes. Photos All photos from the text are available in color,
and photos with labels are also available unlabeled.
A separate folder contains hundreds of additional
photos relative to the study of human biology. Tables Every table that appears in the text is provided
in electronic format. Animations Full-color presentations of key biological
processes have been brought to life via animation.
These animations offer flexibility for instructors
and were designed to be used in lecture. Many of
the animations are also available with Spanish
narration and audio. Active Art Illustrations depicting key processes have
been converted to a format that allows the artwork
to be edited inside of PowerPoint. Each piece
can be broken down to its core elements, grouped
or ungrouped, and edited to create customized
illustrations. PowerPoint Lecture Outlines Aready-made
presentation that combines lecture notes, art, and
animations is written for each chapter. They can be
used as they are, or the instructor can customize
them to preferred lecture topics and sequences. PowerPoint Art Slides Art, photographs, and tables
from each chapter have been pre-inserted into
blank PowerPoint slides to which you can add
your own notes. Instructor’s Testing and Resource CD-ROM

producers in the world, these brief segments range from
15 seconds to just over two minutes in length and cover all
areas of general biology from cells to ecosystems. Engaging
and informative, McGraw-Hill’s digitized biology video
clips will help capture students’ interest while illustrating
