Outstanding visuals are available for classroom demonstration. All of the drawn art from the text, with and without labels, and many of the photographs are available on the Norton Media Library Instructor’s CD. All figures have been enhanced for projection in large lecture halls.
Other Norton Media Library resources include:
- Editable Lecture PowerPoints provide a handy starting point for lecture presentations. Instructors can use these enhanced outlines “as is,” or customize them using the extensive art resources available on the Norton Media Library. Each chapter’s Lecture PowerPoints include embedded versions of the Process Animations, and Concept Quiz clicker questions (see below). Lecturers’ Notes that offer additional information and teaching tips supplement each chapter’s Lecture PowerPoints.
- Process Animations developed specifically for Discover Biology bring key figures from the text to life, presenting key biological processes in a dynamic format. These animations can be enlarged to full-screen view, and include VCR-like controls make it easy for instructors to control the pace of the animation during lecture.
- Concept Quiz clicker questions for each chapter allow you to assess your students’ understanding of concepts presented in lectures and actively engage them in the learning process.
