The Biology Classics:
Paramecium, Hydra, Planaria, and Daphnia
Grades 6 and up

Understanding the amazing phenomena of life requires an intimate acuaintance with living things. This program introduces students to four organisms we call the Biology Classics, "classics" not only because they are featured in science textbooks, but because studying them broadens our concept of what it means to be alive. Accompanying the narrated observations are detailed PDF study guides that can be printed for student use. Also included is a teacher's section with suggestions and tips on using the DVD in an active learning mode. The Biology Classics can be used in Middle School Science, High School Biology, and classes everywhere living organisms are studied.
