The Botany Series - $357

Introduction To Botany

Introduce students to the science of botany. This subject is examined from adaptation to life on land, through modern plants and human dependency and interaction ith the plant kingdom. Lab experiments that can easily be duplicated in the classroom illustrate plant structure and transport. Learn the plant kingdom via the organizing principles of plant classification and the development of modern land plants. Plant families, growth and development, soil and nutrition, tranport and movement, and natural cycles relating to plant life are all examined.

Chapters include Adaptations to Land, Non-Vascular Plants, Gymnosperms, Angiosperms, Structure and Growth of Vascular Plants, Movement and Response, Nutrition, and Plants and the Future. 2 DVDs, 50 minutes total.

Photosynthesis

This very popular video carefully and logically examines each element in the complex interaction that is photosynthesis. Subjects covered include the nature of energy, atoms, molecules and cells; glucose and ATP; the requirements for photosynthesis; the mechanics of photosynthesis; and respiration. The role and importance of photosynthesis in the food chain and in the production of oxygen is outlined.

Plant Taxonomy

What is the difference between a plant species and a sub-species, and how are those plants related to hybrids, varieties and forms? These questions have often created frustration and confusion between botanists, horticulturists and scientists. Finally there is a detailed video which explains the systems for naming, classifying and identifying plants. Plant Taxonomy: The Universal Language, is a video program which covers many related topics including scientific nomenclature, classification, identification and field botany. The first half of the program starts by introducing viewers to the internationally recognized system of binomial nomenclature developed by Carl Linnaeus(1707-1778). While older models of classification are based on plant morphology, this program also presents new systems based on recent molecular findings. See how plant samples and records are stored in a modern herbarium. Text graphics make it easy for students to grasp the many rules which are used when recording plant names. The second half of the video shows how to develop observation skills for recognizing plant families in gardens and natural environments. Clear and readable text is shown as the narrator presents the terms used to describe flowers and leaves. These terms are repeated as students see how to identify flowering plant families and species. Dichotymous keys are shown alongside video images which help to illustrate the key terms and definitions as they are being narrated. Extensive graphics, clear examples, original music and beautiful photography make this program a powerful resource on this complex yet important topic. Two videos on one DVD. Part 1: 21 min. Part 2: 28 min

Mitosis and Meiosis DVD

Part 1 is devoted to the subjects of the interphase state, DNA replication, and chromosome structure, and it offers a detailed look at each stage of mitosis. Part 2 looks at the diploid and haploid states, at fertilization, and at the various stages of meiosis. 23 min. DVD.

The Private Life of Plants DVD Set With David Attenborough

The Private life of plants Written and presented by David Attenborough In the private life of Plants,David Attenborough takes us on guided tour through the secret world of plants,to see things no unaided eye could witness.He shows us the struggles of plants to sruvive in a story that is full of extraordinary drama and breath-taking beauty. Each program in this six-part series focuses on one of the crucial which every plant must pass if it is to survive-travlling,growing and flowering; struggling with one another; creating alliances with other organisms both plant and animal; and evolving complex ways of serviving in the earth's most ferciously hostile environments.
