Starr's Biology Today and Tomorrow

Learning biology through animations, tutorials and quizzes.

Biological Processes

View full color, dynamic animations to help you visualize key biological processes. You have the ability to control the animation by turning on or off the narration, playing the animation with or without text, and can start, stop, or rewind the animation to any point you choose.

Biology Tutorials

These 106 in-depth tutorials are designed to illustrate and explain some of the many complex topics in biology. Each tutorial has four elements: an introduction that describes the topic to be illustrated and puts it into a broader context, a detailed animation that clearly illustrates the topic (there are a few tutorials that include simulations or other types of content, rather than animations), a conclusion that summarizes what you should have learned from the animation, and a quiz on the topic covered. The clear presentation of complex topics make these tutorials a powerful learning tool, be sure to work through them in their entirety for the best benefit. New to the Seventh Edition are 20 Key Experiment tutorials that expand upon some of the most important experiments depicted in the book, as well as 10 additional new tutorials. All the animated activities include textbook references, making it easy for you to look up a topic in the text for further explanation. For details on how the tutorials work, click the Help button on the Animation tab of a tutorial.

Animating Biology

Carnegie Mellon's Office of Technology for Education and Department of Biological Sciences create multimedia materials for teaching and learning Biology. After an analysis of a number of Biology courses was performed to identify when and how shared concepts where taught, a team of biologists, media programmers, and learning experts came together to create animations designed to improve understanding of some of the main concepts taught in Modern Biology and Biochemistry.

Student Center for Biology (The McGraw-Hill Companies)

Welcome to the Student Center for Biology, Seventh Edition. One of the key features of the Student Center are the e-Learning Sessions. The e-Learning Sessions are multimedia enhanced overviews of the chapter concepts. Each chapter's e-Learning Session will contain links to a variety of interactive educational content to help you further expand your understanding of the core chapter concepts: animation, exploration, esp activity, art activity, case study, art review, art quizzes, chapter quiz and more.

Biodiversity (Rediscovering Biology)

Dilution Effect: As suburbs developed in New England, the forest habitat became more patchy, resulting in the disappearance of some species and the proliferation of mice -- which are the reservoir for the Lyme spirochete -- and ticks, which carry the disease to humans. This increased the proportion of infected ticks, and led to an increase in human disease. Mass Extinctions: A graph showing the five major recognized mass extinctions over the last 600 million years. Trilobites went extinct at the end of the Permian era, while dinosaurs were casualties of the most recent mass extinction at the Cretaceous/Tertiary period border. Species Richness vs. Lyme Disease: Ostfeld's study found that as species richness declined, the incidence of Lyme disease increased. Test Strip - Cedar Creek: Each year, David Tilman collects the plant matter from a strip 10 cm by 3 m from each of his experimental plots to examine the effects of species diversity on biomass. Tilman's Experimental Plots: Tilman compares plots with few species (on left) to those with more species (as on the right). He has found that more diverse plots recover from disturbances like drought more quickly than those with fewer species.
